Another free book from the Perry Mason Series

Book: The Case of Fan-Dancer's Horse

Author : Erle Stanley Gardner

Published : 1947





Synopsis : When Perry Mason finds some possessions that belong to a fan dancer, he places an ad that several people mistake for a missing horse. Not only does another dancer show up, but so does her husband...dead!

Perry Mason was a fictional Los Angeles defense attorney created by Erle Stanley Gardner in his detective fiction novels which were a big hit in 1950's and 60's. These Classics are still as much enjoyable as they were earlier. I have already posted a book earlier from this series The Case of the Careless Kitten , both these free books can be claimed together if you want.

Claim this free gem of a book by Mary Higgins Clark

Book : All Through the Night

Author : Mary Higgins Clark

Published : 1998



 


Synopsis : This one should have been appropriately posted during the festive season of Christmas but I couldn't resist. The queen of Suspense writes this thriller with her two recurring characters, Alvirah and Willy. A woman abandons her newborn at a Manhattan church. Simultaneously, a thief is absconding with a treasured artifact, a chalice adorned with a star-shaped diamond. To elude police, he grabs the stroller and disappears. Seven years later, the mother returns to the scene and finds Alvirah and Willy helping neighborhood kids prepare for a Christmas pageant at an after-school shelter. Soon the savvy sleuths set out to solve the puzzle of the missing child and chalice -- and to unmask scam artists threatening to shut down the shelter.

This book is very unlike the usual Higgins thrillers, it is much more lighthearted nut nonetheless a very nice seasonal suspense novel.Mary Higgins rarely disappoints but this one is definitely in her top tens, it is light and fluffy and will leave you with a feel good factor.Grab this free book before anyone else claims it....Happy reading

Another great novel from Robin Cook who is a American physician writing novels based on medicine. He has a knack for combining the medical and thriller genre, his storytelling is so influential, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between reality and fiction.

Q is for Quarry....add it to your collection






Book : Q is for Quarry

Author : Sue Grafton

Published: 2002

Plot: It is the seventeenth novel in Sue Grafton's "Alphabet" series of mystery novels.An unidentified white female decomposed body is discovered near a quarry and after months of investigation, the case remained unsolved. After eighteen years the two men who found the body, both nearing the end of careers in law enforcement, want one last go at the case and hire a private investigator.

This particular Novel is based up on somewhat a real life event. If you are Sue Grafton fan you will find that this particular work is different from her usual suspense and mystery but nonetheless very entertaining, The Novel picks up the pace in the second half and it is a great addition to her series of work.
