Mysterious novels to get lost in
Mystery is one of the most popular genres of literature that pulls readers into the puzzling storyline and morphs readers into detectives as they try to unlock the puzzle, solve the crime, and figure out who the culprit is. Below are some exciting mystery novels for you to enjoy from our collection.
Doyle, A. C. (2001). The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Electric Book Co.
"It has been three years since Sherlock Holmes, locked in a fierce struggle with his arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty, disappeared over the edge of the Reichenbach Falls. The world has mourned his loss greatly, no one more so than his good friend and partner is the arts of detection, Dr. Watson. Imagine Watson's shock when an elderly book collector he bumps into on the street turns out to be none other than the master sleuth himself. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Sherlock Holmes did not die in Switzerland -- he vanquished his greatest foe and set a trap for every other world-be mastermind foolish enough to attempt to match wits with the world's greatest detective." --from publisher
Gaus, P. (2006). A prayer for the night: an Ohio Amish mystery. Ohio University Press.
"Three young friends disappear while traveling on their Amish rite of passage, Rumschpringe, or wild days. In a race against the clock, the sheriff must find a murderer and break a ruthless drug ring operating within the heart of Ohio's Amish Country." --from publisher
Holmes, P. (2014). Now I See You. Modjaji Books.
"Armed robbery is nothing new in South Africa. But when a pair of clever and squeaky-sounding criminals go on a looting spree Detective Inspector Thabisa Tswane from the Eagles, the Special Violent Crimes Unit, is called to work the case. There's only one problem, one of the most important witnesses int he case is her estranged grandfather, Chief Solenkosi, who ordered her violent expulsion from the village over ten years ago... Tswane will have to learn the difference between looking and seeing. And is stirring twists of fate, we'll see that past and present blur, everything is interconnected and nothing can be assumed.'' --from publisher
Zola, E. (2010). Therese Raquin. The Floating Press.
"In a dingy apartment on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, Therese Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthly friend Laurent, but their animal passion for each other soon compels the lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever." --from publisher.

200th Anniversary Birth of Florence Nightingale
2020 has been named the Year of the Nurse and Midwife by the World Health Organization to highlight the vital position nurses and midwives hold in the transformation of healthcare but also to pay homage to one of the most important figures of modern nursing.
Florence Nightingale (May 12, 1820 - August 13, 1910) was born into a wealthy, well-connected British family and, despite her family's wishes, followed the call she believe God sent her to help the sick and poor by training in the art and science of nursing. Her most famous contribution came during the Crimean Wear (1853-1856) during which time Nightingale was shocked by the unsanitary conditions wounded soldiers were exposed to. A trailblazing figure, Nightingale instituted strict reforms to improve patient safety which dramatically increased mortality rates.
Following the war, Nightingale set up the Nightingale Training School at St. Thomas' Hospital in 1860 where countless future nurses were trained. She is known as the founder of modern nursing and a proponent of compassionate, patient-driven care as well as diligent hospital administration.
The Sullivan Family Library is joining in the celebration of Nightingale with a display on the second floor where you can see images of Florence Nightingale along with pictures of the Florence Nightingale Medal and the Nightingale Pledge that nurses recite at their pinning ceremony.
Below are resources from the library about Florence Nightingale, her life, and her work.
Forrester, D. (2016). Nursing's greatest leaders: a history of activism. New York, NY: Springer Publishing Company.
"This book provides a unique perspective on the lives and achievements of the most revered nurses throughout history. It is comprised of biographies of many of nursing's most important activist agents of change, with a focus on those characteristics that enabled them to accomplish their goals and implement changes that improved nursing, health, health care, and society." -from publisher
Macrae, J. (2001). Nursing as a spiritual practice: a contemporary application of Florence Nightingale's views. New York, NY: Springer.
"Janet Macrae, both a Nightingale scholar and a nationally recognized expert on therapeutic touch, outlines Nightingale's ideas on spirituality in this book and discusses how a variety of techniques can be used to implement a more spiritual and humane form of nursing care." -from publisher
Nightingale, F. (2010). Florence Nightingale's Notes on nursing: what it is and what it is not & Notes on nursing for the labouring classes; commemorative edition with commentary. New York, NY: Springer.
"Simultaneously witty, scathing, and anecdotal, Florence Nightingale's Notes on Nursing is perhaps the most influential work on nursing throughout the world... The new edition presents Nightingale's unabridged edition in its original form for the very first time since its publication in July 1860. -from publisher
Nightingale, F. (2005). Florence Nightingale on women, medicine, midwifery and prostitution. Waterloo, ON: Wilfrid Laurier University Press.
"...makes available a great range of Florence Nightingale's work on women: her pioneering study of maternal mortality in childbirth, her opposition to the regulation of prostitution through the Contagious Diseases Acts, her views on gender roles, marriage and measures for income security for women and excerpts from her draft (abandoned) novel." -from publisher
Swaby, R. (2015). Headstrong: 52 women who changed science -- and the world. New York, NY: Broadway Books.
"Covering Nobel Prize winners and major innovators, as well as lesser-known but hugely significant scientists who influence our every day life, Swaby profiles span centuries of courageous thinkers and illustrate how each one's ideas developed." -from publisher
