She'll enjoy a quiet summer of rest, relaxation, and repairing the stage jewelry belonging to her pet Gilbert and Sullivan troupe while she keeps a benevolent eye on the artists and writers who'll be occupying Adelaide's six guest cottages. She packs up the baubles in her old Gladstone bag and heads for the coast of Maine. The Gladstone Bag is a frisky, funny romp with an island-full of wacky suspects and a pleasantly puzzling mystery. The Gladstone Bag is a gem of the genre. The Gladstone Bag is currently out of print, and no longer available.

Something in the Water by Charlotte MacLeod Professor Peter Shandy, New England's homegrown Hercule Poirot, has journeyed to the Maine coast in search of a mystery flower-and to escape his wife's all female house party. Now, supping at a country inn, he witnesses sudden death as a town bully keels over into his chicken pot pie. Perhaps, but Shandy's investigative talents are already occupied with another puzzle. Outside of town on an ancient farm, he has found giant lupines where none should be growing and a woman of great age who looks decades younger.
