An MPM Celebration

                                                            Listening: I Was Made for Lovin' You Recently widowed Pat Robbins and her teenage son Mark are intrigued by the neighbors who move in to the house next door--a twin to their own beloved mid-nineteenth century American Gothic. Their relationship starts roughly when Mark's interest in lovely young Kathy is repulsed by her stern father. But when something ghostly takes a malevolent interest in Kathy, the families draw together to try and unravel whatever grudge the two old houses have been brooding over for centuries...

                                            Listening: Mama Can't Buy You Love Caught between spending the summer with her lovable but aggravating family or taking on a vaguely-described job with a billionaire in Arizona, fledgling anthropologist D.J. Abbott chooses the latter. But gentle, benevolent Hank Hunnicutt has a propensity for wild conspiracy theories, a pack of conmen living in his luxurious mansion, and a mysterious discovery out in the desert he won't talk about. And when he disappears, it's only D.J., Hank's sarcastic secretary Mike, and one or two others who take it seriously enough to be alarmed...What is it, exactly, out there in the desert that someone would resort to such lengths to hide?

But one glance at a photograph pulls her across the sea to spend the summer exploring her ancestral home and the stories it holds. Not least is the legend of the aquatic demon, who returns every two hundred years to claim a bride from the Tregellas family. And with the two hundred year mark approaching, and seaweed mysteriously appearing in her room, it looks like Carla might be the next intended victim. Unless, of course, there's something a little more earthly going on...

Her curiosity leads her to the luxurious villa of a local nobleman where his family circle hints at mystery...as well as into the path of the suspiciously, slickly charming Englishman Sir John Smythe. As murder rocks the villa, the question presents i...

                                                                          Listening: Carry On Wayward Son When Francesca Fairborn is left suddenly unprotected and impoverished by her father's death, it is the long-estranged family of her mother who offers her welcome and shelter at their princely estate in Tuscany. However, she finds plenty of oddities in her new home--her grandfather's overwhelming obsession with the Etruscan princess whose tomb he recently excavated, the mysterious local  revolutionary known only as the Falcon who is viciously hunted by papal troops, and the rising number of near fatal accidents that dog her steps....Will it be her bluff, handsome cousin Andrea who protects her from these troubles? Or is it his cynical, infirm twin Stefano who has her best interests at heart?
