I love British characters and stories, and particularly ones that are fast-paced and keep me guessing until the end. This was one of those for sure. If you are an Agatha Christie fan or just love a good mystery, don't pass up this engaging series. 5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Rachel Markham series, April 24, 2014 By Doreen Farley I love mysteries post world war 2 I enjoyed the character of Rachel Markham very much. A delightful and cozy read. Did it again July 4, 2014 By Stayce Einnyen Once again P.B. has given us a lovely book. All I can say that is negative about the story, is I wish they were longer. I hope we get to see loads more of Rachel and Jeremy. Thank you for giving us these delightful books. By Ellen Grosson February 27, 2015 A little mystery filled with English characters and foibles. Light easy reading, something good for a long cold night. A book reminiscent of Agatha Christie, cozy and comfortable like a warm fire and a cup of coffee.

I am an Anglophile and enjoyed every page. I highly recommend it to lovers of all things British. 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful , August 20, 2013 By Jessica Strong This is such a well written story.

I look forward to the next in the series. Good story February 20, 2015 By E. Donahue Good story, also just finished Murder at Ravenrock and it is equally as good.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Ling Ch'I Ching was first created by an unknown Chinese scholar who consciously sought to present the world with a more accessible oracle than the esoteric I Ching. For centuries the Ling Ch'I Chinghas been a popular divination device for attaining self-knowledge and wisdom. Like its more famous cousin, the I Ching, the Ling Ch'I Chingis rich in poetic language and metaphorical imagery, linking the dynamic principles of heaven and earth with the affairs of people. But the Ling Ch'I Chingis far more accessible than the I Ching, focusing on the concerns of day-to-day life and positive accomplishment, with no moving lines to interpret. The method of consultation includes throwing twelve coins, which are then arranged in three rows to yield one of 125 possible trigraphs. In the text, each trigraph is represented by a core oracle describing a situation, problem, or event, and its internal dynamic, along with a verse emphasizing the trigraph's more subtle, intuitive qualities. To aid the reader in interpreting the oracle, selections from classical commentaries have been included, as well as the translators' own commentary on the text.…
