On 7th November 1843, Harriet Monckton, 23 years old and a woman of
respectable parentage and religious habits, is found murdered in
the privy behind the chapel she regularly attended in Bromley,
Kent. The community is appalled by her death, apparently as a
result of swallowing a fatal dose of prussic acid, and even more so
when the surgeon reports that Harriet was around six months
pregnant. Drawing on the coroner's reports and witness testimonies,
Elizabeth Haynes builds a compelling picture of Harriet's final
hours through the eyes of those closest to her and the last people
to see her alive. Her fellow teacher and companion, her would-be
fiance, her seducer, her former lover-all are suspects; each has a
reason to want her dead. Brimming with lust, mistrust and guilt,
The Murder of Harriet Monckton is a masterclass of suspense from
one of our greatest crime writers.

Five men survive a South Seas shipwreck and wash up on a
seemingly deserted beach, only to discover that five beautiful, winged
women inhabit the island. Dazzled and soon in love, the men will do
anything to possess these flying women . . . but what they plan, and
how the magical women respond, is tellingly—and predictably—human.
First published in 1914, and praised by Ursula K. LeGuin as “a real
rediscovery—romantic, satiric, funny, fanciful, and a good read,” Angel
Island is an adventure story and a genre-defining tale about women’s
rights.
