About this deal

A vision of the Virgin Mary foreshadows a string of cold-blooded murders, revealing a dark current of religious fanaticism in an old medieval town in this Ruth Galloway mystery. PD-US Public domain in the United States //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fernand_L%C3%A9ger,_Woman_in_Blue,_Femme_en_Bleu,_1912,_oil_on_canvas,_193_x_129.9_cm.jpg

Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. The Tory MP took on the leader of the privy council role in September 2022, just before the Queen died. I have had something made, and it will be modern, it will definitely be made for a woman, but it will also be lifting the embroidery of the privy council.”

Mordaunt was the first woman to carry the sword this morning. She brought it to the ceremony, where it was blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and then presented to Charles. Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) was born and spent his comparatively brief career in Delft. A meticulous and careful painter whose innovations were not well-known outside his native city, he may have produced about fifty paintings in just over twenty years, of which about thirty-five survive. Despite extensive archival research that has revealed much about the difficult financial circumstances of the artist's life, familial relationships and avid support by a local patron, many questions about his life and artistic practice remain.

Rich in atmosphere and history and blessed by [Griffith's] continuing development of brilliant, feisty, independent Ruth...A Room Full of Bones, like its predecessors, works its magic on the reader's imagination." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch Tory MP Penny Mordaunt arrived early at the coronation this morning in a striking outfit and carrying a very large sword. This painting was reproduced (published) 10 October 1912, in Claude-Roger, "Au Salon d'Automne, Maîtres Cubes", in Comoedia Illustré, La Comédie Artistique, October 1912, p. 62. See here too: "Au Salon d'Automne, Maîtres Cubes", in Comoedia Illustré Ruth, a devout atheist, has managed to avoid Walsingham during her seventeen years in Norfolk. But then an old university friend, Hilary Smithson, asks to meet her in the village, and Ruth is amazed to discover that her friend is now a priest. Hilary has been receiving vitriolic anonymous letters targeting women priests – letters containing references to local archaeology and a striking phrase about a woman ‘clad in blue, weeping for the world’. This is particularly interesting addition to the series. It centers around women Anglican priests who are trying to gain more acceptance in their careers. Even though American Episcopalians have woman as the national Bishop, the English women are not even allowed to be bishops. There is a seminar with women priests in Walsingham Norfolk to discuss the issue. One of them turns out to be an university friend of Ruth. Ruth has a strong anti-religious stance so she is horrified to find her friend is a priest.
