Money in theM o rg u e

By Ngaio Marsh and StellaD uffy

(294 pages, mystery,2018)

Chief Detective InspectorAlleyn is trying to write let-ters in a run-down convales-cent hospital inNew Zealandduring WorldWar II. He’s at-tempting towrite one to hiswife, Troy, butc a n’t find thewords. It’s mid-summer in theremote area anda storm ist h re ate n i n g .Suddenly Alleynis thrust into acalamity! A van has brokendown, and the driver, Mr.Glossup, a payroll deliveryclerk, is told by the Matronof the hospital that he mustkeep his cash in their safefor the night. But then themoney is stolen, an olderm a n’s body is lost, some-thing terrible happens to theMatron, and all manner ofcommotion breaks loose.Alleyn, who was sent therefor a completely differentreason, must take charge.The storm hits, the bridgeloses planks and looks im-passable, and the telephonelines are down. They arealone. There’s lots of action,and wonderful characters:

soldiers, nurses, doctors, avicar, and a drunken porter.T he re ’s stolen money, mys-terious disappearances, an-cient, sacred Mori caves,troubled lovers, espionage -this tale has it all! And nu-merous references to Shake-s p e a re ’s A MidsummerN igh t ’s Dream. There is a lot

going on in thisquick read, and Iwas sad to see ite nd .

I enjoy thesemystery authors:Agatha Christie,Dorothy L.Sayers, MargeryAllingham, andJosephine Tey.But NgaioM a r sh’s charac-ters, plots andsettings make

her my favorite. I cannotrecommend her highlyenough. When Ngaio Marshdied in 1982 she left theopening chapters of thisbook, and author StellaDuffy was asked to finishthis mystery. Stella Duffy,who is also a theatrical pro-ducer and playwright, did awonderful job. I thoughtthat I had read all of NgaioM a r sh’s books, so this was areal find. And I encourageyou to give Ngaio Marsh’sother mysteries a try, too!

The Last Garden inEngland

By Julia Kelly(351 pages, historical fic-

tion, 2021) This creative book shows

the lives of five very dif-ferent women, all bound to-gether by one garden in theEnglish countryside, in dif-ferent time periods.

In 1907, there’s VenetiaSmith, a woman garden de-signer, very unusual for thetime, who is commissionedto design the gardens ofHighbury House. She cre-ates a series of different gar-dens, each with its owntheme. Her characterbrings to mind real femalegardeners such as designersGertrude Jekyll, and VitaSackville-West and the“garden rooms” that she cre-ated at Sissinghurst Castle. Venetia cannot afford to beside-tracked by romance,but the brother of her em-ploye r ’s wife is very attrac-tive, and he grows his ownrare roses.

In 1944, Diana Symonds isgrieving for her husband,who was lost in the war,taking care of her youngson, and her home of High-bury House has been takenover as a convalescent homefor injured soldiers. Hercook, Stella Adderton, hatesto cook and longs to travel. S he ’s trying to find a way to

leave the house for good. And land girl Beth Pedley,an orphan with no brothersor sisters, finds not onlyhard work, but a welcomingcommunity in HighburyHouse and the village ofHighbury. Beth likes todraw and is invited to usethe gardens to sketch.

Present-day, Emma Lovetthas built up her own gardendesign company, TurningBack Thyme. They bringold, neglected gardens backto life. She loves the work,but running a business anddoing physical work can beexhausting. Her mother isafter her to apply for a job atthe Royal Botanical Her-itage Society and be set forlife. But Emma wants to goher own way. She is em-ployed by a young couple torestore the gardens of High-bury House. They’d likeher to bring them back tothe original gardens, withthe same garden rooms andpl a nt s .

Although this is not a gar-dening book, it has detaileddescriptions of the plantsand flowers. You can pic-ture the beds and borders,in the children’s, lover’s orbridal gardens, and the se-cret, walled winter garden. Important events for eachof the women happen in thissame garden, throughoutthe years. The women leave

By Barack Obama(40 pages, nonfiction,

2010)

You know that feeling youget when you look at a childand envision the limitlesspotential that they possess?Our 44th president, BarackObama, beautifully encap-sulates that feeling in hisch i ld re n’s book Of Thee ISing: A Letter to My Daugh-te rs .

water systems and munici-palities across New Hamp-shire. At this time, Concordis not implementing wa-tering restrictions as ourwater supply remainshealthy. It is possible restric-tions may be implemented ifdrought conditions continueto worsen and if water con-sumption gets too high.

Water consumption wasmuch higher than averagelast summer and consump-tion continues to trend highagain this year. Concord’sWater Treatment Facilityhas been producing 5.8MGD– 6.0MGD (millions of gal-lons per day) of water forthe past few weeks. This isabove average for this timeof year, which is typicallycloser to 5.0MGD. Increasedwater use is linked with thereturn of irrigation and out-door water use and higherthan average volumes due todry conditions driven by thed ro u g ht .

We advise everyone toplease conserve water use asa proactive measure tomanage our water source. Bemindful of your water use,especially outdoors. Simpleconservation practices in-clude minimizing irrigationand lawn watering, and in-specting systems for waterleaks. Practice watering atnight or early morning tominimize evaporation andconsider using weather-based irrigation controllersto avoid unnecessary wa-tering if it rains.

Drought conditions willcontinue to be monitored.Please continue to use waterwisely. We thank everyonefor their efforts to conservewater. Every drop counts!Find drought updates andwater conservation tips atw w w. concord n h . gov/ con -s e r vat ion .
