With high hopes, Daphne Ballinger lands her dream job at The New York Times. But it's not long until writing about weddings becomes a painful reminder of her own failed romance, and her love of the city slowly sours as well. Is it time to give up the Big Apple for her small hometown of Appleton? When her eccentric Aunt Dee passes away and leaves a sizeable estate to Daphne, going back home is an easy choice. What isn’t easy is coming to terms with the downright odd clauses written into the will. Daphne only stands to inherit the estate if she agrees to her aunt's very specific posthumous terms -- personal and professional. And if she fails to comply, the sprawling old Victorian house shall be bequeathed to . . . Aunt Dee’s cats. And if Daphne thinks that’s odd, wait until she finds out an array of secrets about Aunt Dee's life, and how imperfect circumstances can sometimes lead to God's perfect timing.

In Key West, ex- investigative reporter Milo Bird looks forward to life in early-retirement in the tropics after quitting his job as a local radio news personality. But before he can enjoy life beyond employment his old boss begs him to cover one last story; to solve the baffling murder of a museum staffer savagely attacked in a gallery after hours at the start of a holiday weekend. Milo calls upon his amiable cadre of bar pals (possessed of disparate backgrounds and skill sets) who from time to time helped Milo in his investigative work. Together, and to Milo's increasing personal danger, they uncover a stunning secret kept hidden for nearly a century. It centers on Thomas Edison's personal connections to Key West and Florida and those links set in motion events leading to the murder committed during the theft of seemingly valueless Edison museum artifacts. Milo's band and the killers race to be the first to find a hidden prize of great value, as his antagonists plot how to use Milo to lead them to a big payday and then to eliminate him.

The Best Tool of the Millennium The seeds of Rybczynski's elegant and illuminating new book were sown by The New York Times, whose editors asked him to write an essay identifying "the best tool of the millennium." The award-winning author of Home, A Clearing in the Distance, and Now I Sit Me Down, Rybczynski once built a house using only hand tools. His intimate knowledge of the toolbox -- both its contents and its history -- serves him beautifully on his quest. One Good Turn is a story starring Archimedes, who invented the water screw and introduced the helix, and Leonardo, who sketched a machine for carving wood screws. It is a story of mechanical discovery and genius that takes readers from ancient Greece to car design in the age of American industry. Rybczynski writes an ode to the screw, without which there would be no telescope, no microscope -- in short, no enlightenment science. One of our finest cultural and architectural historians, Rybczynski renders a graceful, original, and engaging portrait of the tool that changed the course of civilization.
