The dead woman of Deptford / by Granger, Ann,author.;
On a cold November night in a Deptford yard, dock worker Harry Parker stumbles upon the body of a dead woman. Inspector Ben Ross is summoned from Scotland Yard to this insalubrious part of town, but no witness to the murder of this well-dressed, middle-aged woman can be found. Even Jeb Fisher, the local rag-and-bone man, swears he's seen nothing. Meanwhile, Ben's wife Lizzie is trying to suppress a scandal: family friend Edgar Wellings has a gambling addiction and no means of repaying his debts. Reluctantly, Lizzie agrees to visit his debt collector's house in Deptford, but when she arrives she finds her husband is investigating the murder of the woman in question. Edgar was the last man to see Mrs Clifford alive and he has good reason to want her dead, but Ben and Lizzie both know that a case like this is rarely as simple as it appears.

Rock? Plant? Animal? : how nature keeps us guessing / by Kaner, Etta.; Lane, Brittany.;
"Pretty Tricky meets Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate in this guessing-game book that explores how in nature, things aren't always what they seem ... ... sometimes what looks like a plant is actually a rock or what looks like a rock is actually an animal or what looks like an animal is actually a plant. In ROCK? PLANT? ANIMAL?, young readers are invited to guess what they are looking at as they are introduced to animals that don't look like animals, plants that don't look like plants, and rocks that don't look like rocks! The recto of each spread has a large spot illustration of either a rock, plant, or animal, prompting the reader to make their best guess. There will be surprises but the idea is not to trick readers -- anyone who knows children knows that sometimes they want to be right! -- so much as invite them to really consider what they are looking at, using what they know already, as well as what they have learned from the basic definitions of a rock, plant, or animal provided in the book's intro. And Brittany's inviting, beautifully realistic illustrations are up for the scrutiny! A page turn reveals the answer by showing the featured plant/rock/animal situated within a detailed scene, as well as a brief description of the rock/plant/animal, including why it looks the way it does. Fourteen "species" are presented. Includes a glossary."--

Whatever next? : lessons from an unexpected life / by Glenconner, Anne,1932-author.;
"Lady in Waiting brought us royal magic, beguiling insight, and jaw-dropping stories from life inside Anne Glenconner's privileged circle, which though golden didn't always glitter. As she revealed in her memoir, it has been one of stark contrasts--from growing up in the splendor of Holkham Hall to living in a tent in the jungle of Mustique, from traveling the world with Princess Margaret to coping with her wildly unpredictable husband Lord Glenconner. She has also survived the tragic loss of two of her sons and nursed a third son back from a coma. Now in her ninth decade and at her happiest, she's keen to share everything her unexpected life has taught her--the wise, the hilarious, the poignant, and the illuminating. As a wife, she became a master in the art of keeping the peace, knowing when to pick her battles, when she needed help--and when to take a lover. As a hostess, she acquired great practical skills in throwing marvelous parties and looking after magnificent homes, and, as a lady in waiting, became well versed in diplomacy and etiquette. It was as a mother she learnt the toughest lessons of all, and through them the value of friendship, family, and laughter to get her through the worst moments in life, as well as celebrate the best of them. Whatever Next? is a treasury of hard-won wisdom, and richly entertaining proof that staying open to every new adventure sets an inspiring example for us all"--
