Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.
High-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon has a lot to be proud of: her keen intelligence, impeccable taste, and the L.A. real estate empire she’s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does.
Then Jack—tiny in stature but fiercely independent—happens upon a dead body while kayaking. She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea. She’ll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power.
With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other.
A gorgeous, inimitable singer and songwriter, Nina Simone
(1933-2003) changed the face of both music and race relations in
America. She struck a chord with bluesy jazz ballads like "Put a
Little Sugar in My Bowl" and powerful protest songs such as
"Mississippi Goddam" and "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black," the
anthem of the American Civil Rights movement. Coinciding with the
re-release of her famous Philips Recordings, here are the
reflections of the "High Priestess of Soul" on her own life.
A fun, fresh, and twisty debut whodunnit about a
grandmother-mother-daughter trio who come together as amateur
sleuths to solve a murder in their coastal California town. “A
lively and tender story of family that Simon deftly transforms into
an edge-of-your-seat murder mystery... One part The Maid
and one part family drama à la The Nest,
Mother-Daughter Murder Night is a resounding and impressive
triumph.â€â€”Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The
Cloisters Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.

Of all the major singers of the late 20th century, Nina Simone was
one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in soul,
jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and
Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a 'soul' singer in
terms of emotion, rather than form. Her repertoire included jazz
standards, gospel and spirituals, classical music, folk songs of
diverse origin, blues, pop, songs from musicals and opera, African
chants as well as her own compositions. Nina Simone Piano Songbook
Volume 1 contains authentic piano and vocal transcriptions of 15 of
her best-known songs, including Feeling Good, I Put a Spell On You,
Sinnerman and My Baby Just Cares For Me, with guitar chord boxes.
A Letter to My Daughter is a short book of individual letters to my
dearest daughter. I leave her with advise on Positive Thinking, How
to Tap into your Inner Power, The Importance of Unplugging, Love,
Inner Beauty etc.
Der Anspruch, Theorie und Praxis mit Blick auf rassismuskritische
Fachdidaktiken zu verzahnen, ist fur die Konzeption dieses Bandes
handlungsleitend. Die Beitrage bestehen aus jeweils zwei Teilen: Im
ersten Teil wird die Rassismusrelevanz eines bestimmten
Sachverhalts des jeweiligen Unterrichtsfaches dargestellt, im
zweiten Teil wird die rassismuskritische Vermittlung in Form von
allgemeinen Erlauterungen zur fachdidaktischen Transformation des
Unterrichtsgegenstandes thematisiert.
