Bubble, bubble, tea and trouble : a tea by the sea #7

Delany, Vicki, 1951-


Includes recipes. "When Lily stumbles across five middle-aged women gathered in a dark corner of the tearoom for a book club, she firmly reminds them that the inn's no-smoking policy also applies to their oddly ritualistic candles. As they head outside, Lily overhears them chalking their bad luck up to the absence of their leader, Katya. Whatever they're doing, it certainly isn't reading--and their cover is starting to sound like weak tea . . . While they enjoy Lily's homemade banana bread the next morning, they make their intentions clear--grilling Lily about any past paranormal activity in the cliffside mansion. Their attempts to contact spirits have been falling flat, it seems, and the mysterious Katya is catching the heat. Levelheaded Lily thinks the real reason is that there's no such thing as ghosts. But Lily's pal Bernie has found another explanation: the half-baked spirit-seekers have the wrong house. The haunted reputation belongs to the place next door--where Lily's gardener boyfriend is currently staying. But before they can inform the luckless ladies, the missing medium shows up--dead on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. Now, Lily has two jobs: serving afternoon tea, and solving a murder before someone else gets sent to the great beyond . . ."--

Meanwhile, back in Nokomis : tales from Canada & elsewhere

Ferguson, Will,


"Will Ferguson recounts the small, revealing moments of a travel-writing career in this funny, eclectic collection of essays and opinions on Canada, the writing life, and the world beyond. From the Arctic Circle to the mud pools of New Zealand, Will Ferguson has spent a career chasing stories that reveal as much about Canada as they do about the world. Meanwhile, Back in Nokomis brings together his funniest, sharpest and most surprising adventures collected here for the first time. Ferguson brings readers on a journey, from a tiny theatre town in rural Alberta to the haunted (and horse-grazed) shores of Sable Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. He weighs the benefits and drawbacks of the Confederation Bridge, wanders the jumbled cultural mixture of Montréal's neighbourhoods and confronts his queasy relationship with Scottish whisky. In between, Ferguson muses about the defining elements of Canadian culture and offers readers some writerly advice. He ponders the merits of selling out to advertisers, Canada's national reputation for peacekeeping and the most frequently asked questions in literary interviews. He also offers his thoughts on the real questions: What's the most Canadian condiment? The best contender for a national bird? And why didn't he get the handyman gene? With his trademark humour and a sincere appreciation for Canada and beyond, Ferguson roams through a life of travel, writing and the moments in between from a distinctly Canadian point of view."

The séance garden

Blackwell, Juliet


Includes an excerpt from the author's Asylum hotel (pages 375-384). "After a cheesy ghost tour in one of California's oldest towns stumbles upon an actual haunting, a skeptical historian of the occult becomes entangled in solving a murder case. When Professor Harper Grae loses a bet with a friend, she finds herself on a local nighttime tour of "haunted" locations in Monterey. Harper's a lifelong non-believer in the occult, though her academic career is devoted to the historical and societal significance of witchcraft, ghosts, and medicinal poisons of all sorts. But her skepticism immediately gets tested when the tour stumbles on the body of local artist Delilah Mason-who's found murdered on the grounds of a nearly two-hundred-year-old mansion, once home to the infamous Perles family. On the night Mason's body is found, Harper catches sight of something in the house that she can't shake, something that's impossible to explain, at least not rationally. Soon the murder investigation reveals that this is the second time a woman has been found murdered beneath a sprawling cypress tree in the gardens of the Perles Mansion. And when Harper's closest friend is questioned by the police, Harper fears the authorities will fail to uncover the real killer. As Harper asks questions around town and digs deeper into the supernatural speculation and rumors surrounding the murders-two women killed in similar circumstances, separated by nearly two centuries -she sees evidence she can't ignore that the notorious mansion truly is haunted by the ghost of Isabel Perles. What will it cost Harper to rethink everything she's always believed to admit that the veil between the living and the dead might actually be crossed?"

Death interrupted : how modern medicine is complicating the way we die

Bigham, Blair,


Part I. When is dead ... dead? Policy 4.4 -- A brief history of death -- A modern day disruption -- Part II. What does it mean to die? Welcome to the grey zone -- Declaring death -- The root of the death dilemma -- Part III. Accepting death as a part of life. A good death -- Life after death -- Do we really have to die? -- Mors vincit omnia: death conquers all. "In Death Interrupted, ICU doctor Blair Bigham shares his first-hand experiences of how medicine has complicated the way we die and offers a road map for dying in the modern era. Doctors today can call on previously unimaginable technologies to help keep our bodies alive. In this new era, most organs can be kept from dying almost indefinitely by machines. But this unprecedented shift in end-of-life care has created a major crisis. In the widening grey zone between life and death, doctors fight with doctors, families feel pressured to make tough decisions about their loved ones, and lawyers are left to argue life-and-death cases in the courts. Meanwhile, intensive care patients are caught in purgatory, attached to machines and unable to speak for themselves. In Death Interrupted, Dr. Blair Bigham seeks to help readers understand the options facing them at the end of their lives. Through conversations with end-of-life professionals--including ethicists, social workers, and nurses and doctors who practise palliative care--and observations from his own time working in ambulances, emergency rooms, and the ICU, Bigham exposes the tensions inherent in this new era of dying and answers the tough questions facing us all. Because now, for the first time in human history, we may be able to choose how our own story ends."--

Cave-in

Withers, Pam,


"Hudson Greer and his caving partner Jett are determined to become teen legends who discover a long-sought passageway that connects two giant cave systems in their little mountain town. But they're haunted by the history of a giant sinkhole that opened up and swallowed the town's fully-packed church, steeple and all. Dozens were killed, including Hudson's grandfather. Hudson knows it's in danger of happening again; he just doesn't know when or where. Can his caving instincts and science knowledge predict or prevent the next disaster? Are the shoddy logging practices of the town's main employer tempting fate? And who's on whose side when business and political shenanigans mix with evaded environmental codes? Nothing less than the lives of the townspeople are at stake -- and it's up to Hudson to separate myth from fact, and get key players working together, before it's too late."--
