Book: A Kiss Before Dying

Author: Ira Levin

About the Book

A Kiss Before Dying not only debuted the talent of best-selling novelist Ira Levin to rave reviews, it also set a new standard in the art of mystery and suspense. Now a modern classic, as gripping in its tautly plotted action as it is penetrating in its exploration of a criminal mind, it tells the shocking tale of a young man who will stop at nothingundefinednot even murderundefinedto get where he wants to go. For he has dreams; plans. He also has charm, good looks, sex appeal, intelligence. And he has a problem. Her name is Dorothy; she loves him, and she's pregnant. The solution may demand desperate measures. But, then, he looks like the kind of guy who could get away with murder. Compellingly, step by determined step, the novel follows this young man in his execution of one plan he had neither dreamed nor foreseen. Nor does he foresee how inexorably he will be enmeshed in the consequences of his own extreme deed.(

The extraordinary New York Times bestselling author of The Lacuna (winner of the Orange Prize), The Poisonwood Bible (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize), and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver returns with a truly stunning and unforgettable work. Flight Behavior is a brilliant and suspenseful novel set in present day Appalachia; a breathtaking parable of catastrophe and denial that explores how the complexities we inevitably encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen truths. Kingsolver's riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factionsundefinedreligious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politiciansundefinedtrapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world. Flight Behavior is arguably Kingsolver's must thrilling and accessible novel to date, and like so many other of her acclaimed works, represents contemporary American fiction at its finest.

He jerked his head upward and stared through the foliage. 
The sun fell upon his face but he shivered nevertheless. 
Can it be that the day will come when a Searcy is not 
loyal to the King? 
A seemingly-simple tinsmith, Coleman Witherspoon, cunningly schemes to turn the loyalist town of Searcyville into a patriot stronghold. The founder, Seymour Searcy, struggles to keep control of his town and is shattered when this arrogant patriot arranges to confiscate his prized historical plough for the war effort. 
When Seymour’s loyalist sons return from battle with the American colonists, they are disillusioned with the British cause. Angrily they declare that they never should have fought for the king. With the family torn apart, Seymour’s oldest son determines that peace needs to come to their divided town and family. He realizes that only the return of his father’s plough can heal the breach. 
However, only a deal with the pompous and conniving patriot can make that happen.
