Rosett's engaging fourth Mom Zone mystery (after 2008's Getting Away Is Deadly) finds super efficient crime-solver Ellie Avery living in a new subdivision in North Dawkins, Ga., near Taylor Air Force Base with her air force pilot husband and their two children. While taking the family rottweiler for a walk, Ellie discovers skeletal remains in a forgotten cemetery at first suspected to be those of their home's first occupant, Jodi Lockworth, a freelance reporter who's been missing for 10 months. Instead, they belong to Albert Chauncey, a WWI veteran who died in 1919, and William Nash, an African-American youth missing since 1955. Jodi's parents are grateful when Ellie offers her keen organizing skills in their search for Jodi. A notebook hidden in Ellie's home offers vital clues, but the closer she comes to solving the mysteries of Nash's murder and Jodi's disappearance, the more she puts her life in danger. Some nifty party tips help keep the sleuthing on the cozy side. (Apr.)

Product Description

Settling her family - Air Force pilot Mitch, baby Nathan, and daughter Livvy - into their new home in Georgia, Ellie Avery is busier than ever. With two children under four, a party to plan for Mitch's promotion, and new contacts to develop for her organizing business, Ellie's eager to relax by taking Rex, the family Rottweiler, for a peaceful stroll. But what they find is anything but tranquil. As evening's shadows fall, Ellie stumbles into an abandoned graveyard disturbed by flooding from a recent storm. It's a chilling enough setting without the shocking spectre of two dead bodies...unearthed from the same grave. The skeleton that belongs in the washed-out gravesite is that of a young casualty of World War I. The probable identity of the fresher corpse leads Ellie into a missing-person case centred around Jodi Lockworth, a vibrant young woman who once lived in the house the Averys are now renting. Although Jodi was a beloved member of the community, her part-time gig as a newspaper reporter may have put her on the wrong side of a few prominent citizens. When Ellie discovers a vital clue in her very own home, she becomes the next target of a sinister schemer who'll stop at nothing to protect a deadly secret. Now, with a double mystery brewing and dozens of guests about to arrive in her back yard, Ellie's agenda is once again packed. The only thing she hasn't pencilled in is one killer of a party crasher who intends to make this celebration Ellie's last.

"This series is a winner." —Denise Swanson

With some savvy snooping, Ellie learns that Angela's dangerous double life included blackmail, compromising photos, and a scandalous secret that threatens a local celeb. When a kidnapping shatters her family's safety, Ellie leaves the white sands behind to face down a killer whose warm Southern charm masks a cold, cold heart.

Includes great tips for super family vacations!

Noha a Bhagavad-gítának számtalan kiadása látott már napvilágot, és rendkívül széles körben olvassák önálló könyvként, eredetileg Mahábhárata, az ősi szanszkrit történelmi eposz egyik fejezete. A Mahábhárata egészen a jelenlegi Kali-korszakig felölei az eseményeket. E kor kezdetén, mintegy öt évezreddel ezelőtt történt, hogy az Úr Krisna elbeszélte a Bhagavad-gítát barátjának és hívének, Arjunának.

Párbeszédük- miden idők legnagyszerűbb filozófiai és vallási dialógusa-egy csata, egy hatalmas testvérháború kezdete előtt hangzott el. Az ütközetben Dhritarástra száz fia és ellenfeleik, unokatestvérek, a Pándavák, azaz Pándu fiai álltak szemben egymással.

Dhritarástra és Pándu fivérek voltak, a Kuru-dinasztia sarjai. Dhritarástra, az idősebb testvér vakon született, ezért a trón, mely egyébként őt illette volna, öccsére, Pándura szállt. Pándu fiatalon meghalt, s öt gyermekét Dhritarástra vette gondjaiba, akit ideiglenesen a trónra ültettek. Így aztán Dhritarástra és Pándu fiai együtt nőttek fel a királyi palotában.

Dhritarástra fiai azonban (különösen a legidősebb, Duryodhana) gyűlölték a Pándavákat, és irigykedtek rájuk, s a vak és befolyásolható Dhritarástra azt akarta, hogy ne Pándu gyermekei, hanem saját fiai örököljék a királyságot.

Duryodhana Dhritarástra jóváhagyásával kitervelte, hogy megöli Pándu ifjú fiait, akik csakis nagybátyjuk, Vindura és unokatestvérük, az Úr Krisna körültekintő gondoskodásának köszönhetően élték túl az őket ért megannyi támadást….
