Suzanne’s Children: A Daring Rescue in Nazi Paris
by Anne Nelson
Suzanne Spaak was born into the Belgian Catholic elite and married into one of the country’s leading political families. In Paris in the late 1930s, her friendship with a Polish Jewish refugee led to her life’s purpose. When France fell and the Nazis occupied Paris, she joined the Resistance. She used her fortune and social status to enlist allies among wealthy Parisians and church groups. Under the eyes of the Gestapo, Suzanne and women from Jewish and Christian resistance groups “kidnapped” hundreds of Jewish children to save them from the gas chambers. In the final year of the Occupation Suzanne was caught by the Gestapo and executed shortly before the liberation of Paris.
The Witches’ Tree: An Agatha Raisin Mystery
by M. C. Beaton
The “Witches’ Tree” continues the tradition in M.C. Beaton’s beloved Agatha Raisin mystery series. Vicar Rory Devere and his wife drive slowly through the fog on their way home from a dinner party in their village in the Cotswolds. They strain to see the road ahead and then suddenly brake, for right in front of them a body hangs from a gnarled tree. Margaret Darby, an elderly spinster, has been murdered, and the villagers are bewildered as to who would commit such a crime.
Private detective Agatha Raisin rises to the occasion but encounters more questions than answers. When two more murders follow the first, Agatha begins to fear for her reputation—and even her life. And that the village has its own coven of witches certainly doesn’t make her feel any better.
