Besides, ignoring the socio-economic causes and determinants to the rising Infant Mortality and Maternal Mortality has to be reviewed.

The Body in the Belfry A Faith Fairchild Mystery
New York: Avon Books. Very Good. 1991. Mass Market Paperback. No spine crease. 0.88 x 6.76 x 4.22 Inches. 320 pages. A Faith Fairchild Mystery No. 1. During her years spent in New York City. Faith Fairchild was convinced she had seen pretty much everything. But the transplanted caterer/minister's wife was unprepared for the surprises awaiting her in the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford. And she is especially taken aback by the dead body of a pretty young thing she discovers stashed in the church's belfry. The victim Cindy Shepherd. was well-known locally for her acid tongue and her jilted beaux which created a lot of bad blood and more than a few possible perpetrators -- including her luckless fiance who had neither an alibi nor a better way to break off the engagement. Faith thinks it's terribly unfair that the police have zeroed in on the hapless boyfriend and so she sets out to uncover the truth. But digging too deeply into the sordid secrets of a small New England village tends to make the natives nervous. And an overly curious big city lady can become just another small town death statistic in very short order. . Avon Books paperback

Good Susan Sibbald was Associate of Governor Simcoe Born Fowey England 1783. emigrated Canada 1830s Very good in split dust jacket. roughness top/bottom of spine one corner bump and one corner with color rub. SO WHO WAS SUSAN SIBBALD AND WHY WAS SHE IMPORTANT TO CANADA</p><p><b>MEIN SUSAN Sibbald</b> memoirist; b. 29 Nov. 1783 at Fowey Cornwall England fifth daughter of Thomas Mein physician in the Royal Navy and Margaret Ellis; d. 9 July 1866 at Toronto Canada West.</p><p>Susan Mein spent her childhood in Cornwall first at Fowey and then at Devonport where Thomas Mein was appointed inspector of hospital ships in 1795. From 1797 to 1800 she attended Belvedere House a fashionable boarding-school in Bath and following her <i>début</i> spent winters in London and summers in Scotland at Eildon Hall her father's estate near Melrose. In 1807 she married William Sibbald colonel in the 15th Regiment of Foot; they were to have two daughters and nine sons.</p><p>Susan Sibbald and her son Archibald came to Upper Canada in October 1835 to visit two other sons William founder in 1833 of a short-lived monthly literary magazine in York Toronto the <i>Canadian Magazine</i> and Charles who had both immigrated several years before. Mrs Sibbald purchased probably for William and Charles 500 acres and a log house on the south shore of Lake Simcoe near the present site of Jackson's Point and named it Eildon Hall. In March 1836 she returned to Scotland to find that her husband had died in her absence; the following October she arrived back in Canada with her three youngest sons to settle at Eildon Hall carving out of the Canadian wilderness a thoroughly British oasis of culture and comfort. The estate soon boasted traditional gardens imported trees and a heated greenhouse; it became the setting for a social life which Susan made as similar as possible to that which the family had enjoyed in Britain. She was also instrumental in 1838 in building St George's Anglican Church on her property.</p><p>In September 1843 Mrs Sibbald returned to Britain remaining there until 1856 when she came back to Canada with her second son Captain Thomas Sibbald author of <i>A few days in the United States and Canada</i> <i>with some hints to settlers</i> London 1846. Mrs Sibbald spent the remaining ten years of her life in Toronto keeping up friendships she had made previously with Bishop John Strachan Admiral Augustus Warren Baldwin Sir John Beverley Robinson William Henry Boulton and other members of the Family Compact with whose attitudes she sympathized. She believed firmly in maintaining the class distinctions of the old world and saw the city's rising merchants and financiers as parvenus who were usurping social leadership. In her last years she often lamented the decline of old values and the disappearance of the first generation of Toronto's Tory families. She tried to pass on to her grandchildren her sense of loyalty to British customs and institutions and took pride that in addition to her father and husband eight of her nine sons held commissions in either the Royal Navy the Indian army or the Canadian militia.</p><p>While living in Toronto Mrs Sibbald wrote an autobiography of the first 29 years of her life which was later edited by her great-grandson Francis Paget Hett and published in 1926. Her <i>Memoirs</i> show her to be an accomplished writer with a good sense of dialogue discrimination in detail and skill in characterization. Family friends who appear in the <i>Memoirs</i> include the satiric poet John Wolcot "Peter Pindar" novelists Sir Walter Scott and G. P. R. James and painters William Owen and Henry Bone. The most delightful character in the <i>Memoirs</i> however is Susan Sibbald herself with her sprightly outlook on life sense of humour and spirit of adventure. Her personality made it easy for her to adapt to life in Canada and her letters reveal that she kept her zest for living undiminished in her old age. She died in Toronto in 1866 and is buried at Jackson's Point.</p> Bodley Head hardcover

And so she does. But of course her business is murder. Retired schoolteacher Miss Hildegarde Withers has promised her old friend Oscar Piper that she will stop meddling in police affairs. It looks as if she means it too for when Pat Montague's Long Island society friends ask her to help clear the young Anny veteran of the murder of Huntley Cairns his former sweetheart's husband Hildegarde instead turns him over to the police. But then she has second thoughts and alternates between investigating suspects snooping for clues and studying her tank of tropical fish. Oddly enough it is the fish-and a little pancake flour-that finally furnish the clues she needs to find the murderer. Hildy is as tart-tongued and delightful as ever in Miss Withers Regrets and you won't regret that she is once again refusing to mind her own business.

When pretty little Ina Kell arrived in Manhattan full of foolish dreams about making it big in show business she had no idea how quickly she'd be in the headlines. But when TV personality Tony Fagan is murdered in the apartment building where she's staying and she disappears shortly thereafter the search is on led by Inspector Oscar Piper and his longtime friend Hildegarde Withers. The chief suspect is playboy Junior Gault whose company sponsored Fagan's show and who was the target of some intemperate remarks Fagan made on the air.

She's soon joined by Oscar Junior's socialite fiancee Dallas Trempleau and other refugees from the Big Apple.

Boulder CO U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2007. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of this trade paperback. A class trip to a Manhattan aquarium leads Miss Withers to her first case. Although the stock market had crashed recently it was too early for most people to predict that the Great Depression was about to get under way. For 39-year-old spinster schoolteacher Hildegarde Withers it's business as usual. And part of her usual business is taking her class for an outing to the aquarium to see the penguins. Instead she spots the floating corpse of Wall Street broker Gerald Lester and quickly realizes that Inspector Oscar Piper ofNYPD Homicide isn't up to solving this tricky case especially when he appears ready to accept the confession of an obviously innocent young man. Red herrings as well as penguins abound. Miss Withers has a number of questions that need answers before she can reel in the real murderer: Who did Lester's wife meet behind the stairs What did the pickpocket see Who was man in the fedora And just how did Miss Wither's hatpin turn into a lethal weapon First published in 1931 The Penguin Pool Murder was as big a hit with readers as it was with moviegoers when it was filmed the following year starring Edna May Oliver as Miss Withers and James Gleason as Inspector Piper. . 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine/No Jacket. Trade Paperback. Rue Morgue Press Paperback

The Puzzle Of The Blue Banderilla
Lyons Colorado U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2004. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of this trade paperback. Inspector Oscar Piper was off on a junket to Mexico in the summer of 1937 surrounded by a bunch of Democrats huffed Miss Withers when a customs inspector on a train headed for Mexico City sniffs a very potent bottle of cheap perfume and promptly drops dead. Quite naturally Oscar telegraphs Hildegarde in Manhattan about the perfume and quite naturally Miss Withers packs her bags and heads south of the border figuring Oscar is out of his depth if he has to rely on deductive reasoning rather than a rubber hose. Why any of the occupants of the train should want to kill a harmless Mexican customs inspector is so puzzling that everyone assumes that the real intended victim is a self-made rich American woman who seemingly has rededicated her life to shopping. Her husband ought to be the prime suspect but he seems devoted to her although he was spotted giving cash to a pretty young redhead when he thought no one was looking. Then there were the two American fast buck artists who figured they could get rich buying up all the gasoline-powered generators in Mexico on the eve of a strike by utility workers. They looked especially guilty when their shady double-crossing associate--a somewhat accomplished ladies� man--becomes the second person to die. A blue banderilla usually used to slow bulls down is driven through his back during a Sunday afternoon bullfight in Mexico City. Miss Withers borrows a technique from Sherlock Holmes himself to show that a banderilla makes for a lousy murder weapon a conclusion also reached by a rather odd young Mexican man whose English seems to come and go. First published in 1937 this lighthearted mystery displays all the charm that made Miss Withers Anthony Boucher�s favorite female sleuth as well as a favorite of moviegoers during the early days of the talkies. 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Illus. by Pudim Rob. Trade Paperback. Rue Morgue Press Paperback
