INTEROFFICE MEMO
FROM: Matthew Harding, CEO, Harding Hotels
REGARDING: Stephanie Rossi, My Personal Assistant
When Stephanie Rossi was promoted from our operations department to be my right-hand woman, I was skeptical at first. But her amazing efficiency and plainspoken Brooklyn smarts -- not to mention the gorgeous looks she keeps under wraps at work -- soon won me over.
After Stephanie's amazing performance -- both personal and professional -- during a hotel crisis, I grew more intrigued by her than ever. So intrigued that I'd love to attend her sister's wedding not as her boss, but as her date! Yet suddenly Stephanie wants to transfer out of my office... and straight out of my life? Well, maybe it's time for a little one-on-one assignment...

After the death of his beloved wife, the dashing Earl of Strickland has finally decided to seek out a new mother for his children. But he'll consider no giddy, novel-reading young girls with stars in their eyes.
Resigned to having lost his one true love, he is also resigned to a practical, dispassionate, respectable match with a mature woman.
That is, until a very unexpected - and very special - houseguest throws his careful plan awry.
Hannah Fairbanks would gladly leave the marrying - and remarrying - to her beautiful and refined older sister. Hannah herself would much prefer to tramp about the countryside, muddied hems and all, studying the ancient ruins and architecture that are her one and only true passion... or so she is convinced, until a fateful visit to an earl' estate - and an even more fateful kiss - throws everyone's plans awry.

My personal favorite in the trilogy. This is the second in the Concannon Sisters Trilogy.

When the harsh storms of winter descended upon western Ireland, the locals stayed indoors - and visitors stayed away. Brianna Concannon's bed-and-breakfast became a cold and empty place. But that was fine with brianna. She enjoyed the peace and quiet, even when the icy winds howled at her window. But this year she's expecting an unusual guest - mystery writer Grayson Thane from America. A restless wanderer with a painful past, he plans to spend the cold winter alone. But sometimes fate has a plan of its own. Sometimes a fire can be born in ice...

You say you've heard the story about Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Crachit? But you've never heard it told quite this way! Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater has taken Chrarles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol", and cleverly rewoven it into a murder mystery which takes more turns than old Scrooge's walking stick.
A newspaper report published in the Dec 25, 1832 edition of the London Herald tells the story:
"An elderly man was murdered last night in his home on Cheapside Row. The victim, identified as Ebenezer Scrooge, was found shortly after midnight. Police reports state that he had been strangled with a section of bell cord and a stake of holly driven through his heart. The suspect, apprhended as he was fleeing the scene, has been identified as Bob Crachit."
Did Bob Crachit actually murder Ebenezer Scrooge? That is the question that will be pondered by the jury assembled in Judge Francis Hawkin's courtroom. This case, which has attracted considerable attention due to the gruesome manner in which the murder was carried out, is the first murder trial covered by the budding newspaper reporter "Dickey-Boy." His full name is Charles Dickens.
Now that you've been introduced to the characters, sit back and listen to this variation on a Dickens theme which will have you guessing right up to the end who really murdered Ebenezer Scrooge.
