camps for years. Now she passes on what she's learned so you can
help your children and grandchildren develop meaningful, lasting
connections with each other--and with you! Full of specific,
practical ideas and hilarious stories, this book contains
everything you need to know from initial planning (who, when, and
where) to a daily schedule to specific ways to build friendships
among family members. Yates also includes plenty of ideas for
family camps and reunions to draw everyone closer.

Maggie Eliot, Appleton Fellow for Global Issues at Merrion College,
Oxford, is having an eventful sabbatical year. She has overcome
writer's block, fallen in love and gotten married. She is now
enjoying summer with her husband Thomas, who is also the 28th Baron
Raynham, at Beaumatin, his Cotswolds estate. Thomas takes Maggie to
visit St Margaret's House, a residence for Benedictine nuns
suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There she meets
Meg, who volunteers at the residence. Meg gives Maggie a sealed
envelope and asks her to keep it safe but not open it. Maggie
reluctantly agrees to keep Meg's secret. Then Maggie finds Meg
murdered in the St Margaret's chapel. Another murder follows and
the police think Maggie may know the man the media are calling the
"Gloucestershire Garrotter." When Maggie at last opens Meg's
mysterious envelope, what she finds inside could well explain the
murders. And she can only hope that the killer's identity is
discovered before she becomes his next victim.

Professor Maggie Eliot is getting married, even though she has
serious qualms. They're not about Thomas, the man she is marrying.
She admits she is completely besotted. They're more about the
getting married bit. However, Thomas' attitude is, "Let's get
married. Then we'll sort out whatever still needs sorting." Of
course, Thomas has had practice. He is a widower and also the 28th
Baron Raynham, who lives at Beaumatin, his estate in the Cotswolds.
Maggie will live there too, at least when she's not at Oxford. The
wedding occurs, but within weeks, things begin to go terribly
wrong. Thomas becomes attracted to a young magazine writer who
bears a striking resemblance to his first wife. And the editor of
the book Maggie has produced during a sabbatical year decides to
sensationalise the work and use her married name to generate
publicity and spur sales. Then a body is found buried in
Beaumatin's famous gardens. When a second body is discovered, the
police decide that Maggie had motive, means and opportunity for
both murders and focus their investigation on her. Maggie knows she
didn't kill anyone, even though she may have had to shoot a few
people in the past, and suspects she is the victim of some
elaborate plot. But what is its purpose? And who is behind it?
Maggie Eliot has a problem. The American academic is supposed to be
writing a book during a sabbatical year from her position at Oxford
and has come down with a bad case of writer's block. Her friend
Anne arranges for Maggie to borrow a cottage in a picturesque
village in the Cotswolds, where she can write without distractions.
When even this fails to do the trick, Anne decides what Maggie
needs is a complete break and convinces her friend to accompany her
to a snowdrop study weekend. The small white flowers have been
selling at stratospheric prices and Anne wants to see what all the
fuss is about. So off they go to Rochford Manor, home of Lord and
Lady Ainswick and their famous snowdrop garden. The two women
encounter an odd assortment of supposed galanthophiles-as snowdrop
fanciers are called-and hear the first rumours of a priceless
snowdrop called "the Ainswick Orange." On a visit to a neighbouring
snowdrop garden, Maggie meets Lord Raynham, a widower as well as
the 28th Baron. However, while she is admittedly attracted to the
man, in the end she decides it is all way too Jane Austen for her
and that it is unlikely she will ever see him again. Exploring the
Rochford Manor gardens the next morning, Maggie and Anne discover a
brutal murder. The corpse's outstretched hand holds a gardening
trowel that points to a hole from which a snowdrop has been
removed. Lady Ainswick confirms that the Ainswick Orange has been
stolen. When a second murder is committed and the police become
fixed on Lord Raynham as a suspect, Maggie and Anne join forces
with Lady Ainswick to solve the crimes on their own. They discover
that several members of the group do indeed have secrets they are
trying to hide. But does that make one of them a killer? And what
has become of the Ainswick Orange?
