Dibs - In Search of Self

This book chronicles the incredible true story of a deeply brilliant but profoundly traumatized five-year-old boy named Dibs. Withdrawn into complete silence, emotionally isolated, and prone to violent tantrums, Dibs is misdiagnosed by teachers and his wealthy parents as mentally disabled. As a last resort, renowned child psychologist Dr. Virginia Axline begins weekly non-directive play therapy sessions with him. Through creative play, toys, and paint, Dibs slowly reveals his high intelligence, unlocks his hidden emotional scars, and embarks on a moving journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Dumb Witness

When Hercule Poirot discovered the truth of the Dog’s Ball incident, he became convinced that Emily Arundell did not die from natural causes. Who, then, was responsible for the death of this rich spinster? Could it be the slightly wanton Theresa, her spendthrift brother Charles, the seemingly meek companion Wilhelmina Lawson, Bella Tanios (married to a Greek doctor her aunt distrusted), or those irritating Tripps with their infernal séances? Unlike Poirot, the murderer forgot the tongue of the Dumb Witness.

Murder In The Mews

The beautiful woman picked up the pink gin and drained it. A moment later someone said sharply, "What's the matter?" and stared at the woman, now leaning back in her chair. Her lips were blue, her hand had gone to her heart. She fought for breath and gasped: "I feel - rather strange..."

Someone cried, "Get a doctor... hurry!" But five minutes later the women was dead.

That prince of deduction, Hercule Poirot, solves The Murder in the Mews and two other perplexing cases, Dead Man's Mirror and The Incredible Theft, with his usual dazzling brilliance.
