|  | Fowl Prey by Mary R. Daheim
Leaving the Hillside manor in capable hands, bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle heads north to Vancouver`s Hotel Clovia with her irrepressibly voracious cousin Renie for a pre-Thanksgiving getaway. But when an addled and impoverished popcorn vendor is murdered-along with his foul-mouthed pet parakeet-a local copper`s suspicious gaze settles on the two visiting Americans. The cousins, in turn, suspect one of the Sacred Eight -an odd-duck assortment of glamorous showbiz glitterati currently gathered at the historic hotel. And unless Judith and Renie can pluck a killer from the secretive, star-studded group, their geese will be thoroughly cooked in short order! AUTHOR: Mary R. Daheim

 | Deptford Trilogy by Robertson Davies
FIFTH BUSINESS, a novel exploring notions of fate and identity, relates the complicated fortunes of four characters linked together by a snowball thrown on December 27, 1908: Boy Staunton (who threw it), Amasa Dempster (who was struck by it), Paul Dempster (who was born prematurely as a result), and Leola Cruikshank (who marries Staunton years later). THE MANTICORE concerns the confusion into which David Staunton, a successful middle-aged writer, is thrown as a result of his father's sudden death under mysterious circumstances. Staunton undergoes a course of Jungian analysis and discovers a good deal more about himself and his father than he had ever expected. WORLD OF WONDERS, a tale of fantasy and the stage, describes the life and adventures of Magnus Eisengrim, the world's greatest magician, from his grim childhood in rural Canada to his years as a day-laborer and mechanic to his eventual triumph on the international stage.
