Summary
Jem, his family and friends go to the theatre. Subject...Teddy Lovall, police detective and resident at the Blythes' home doesn't know. He doesn't much care, either, on account of being up to his elbows in sick and recently sick children. As for the resident live-in reporter the Blythes adopted moons ago, well she's about as much help as an intrepid girl-reporter would be in this scenario.

Summary
It would surprise exactly no one to learn that Anne Shirley's grandchildren are brought up in ways that are...less than orthodox. Let's call it that. Generously.
Perhaps more surprising; The same Blythes and Merediths that once scandalized the Glen with pig-riding and house cleaning on Sundays go to elaborate lengths to keep just how unorthodox they are from Ingleside's beloved maid-of-all work.

Summary
One of the hardest things about being young, if you asked Iain Blythe, was that adults had this unreasonable ability to translocate you across countries without a by-your-leave. It meant leaving friends and family and pets, for a whole summer and that might as well have been forever.
As it turned out, the next hardest thing was coming back to the place you left. The world's tricksy like that. Really, you'd think someone like Shirley Blythe, Iain's sensible father, would know better.

Summary
Strictly speaking, a newly-married Jem and Faith didn't set out to acquire a live-in girl-reporter with more ambition than domestisity way back in the halcyon days of 1920. That's not to say that when opportunity comes knocking, they jump at the chance to send her out into the world, either. Jem's too much like a sheepdog - likes his people together. And anyway, she sort of grew on them.

Summary
It's September of 1935. A new school year has started, and the local teacher has stuck the usual start-of-term essay question on the board.
Describe your family.
Easy as anything. Except...well, you try describing a family that started when a pair of siblings took in a red-haired orphan and go from there. Just see how easy it is.

Summary
An evening out for dinner and the local fair is unexpectedly hijacked when a ghost from the past comes looking for Jem's friend and colleague, Superintendent Geordie Carlisle. It's all hands on deck not just to solve the current murder, but find out what really happened in the far-gone past while they're at it. With help, obviously, from God Tuesday the Dachshund and little Sophy Blythe's doll collection. It wouldn't be a proper case without either.

Summary
The Circus was Constable Benwick's idea. Going to it, not its arrival in Kingsport. It was supposed to be a nice, normal family night out among friends. Or, you know, as close to a nice and normal evening out as Jem and Faith were likely to get, considering the friends.
It almost worked, too. If you made allowances for sentimentalizing circus monkeys and stuff of that ilk. But then a woman fell from the trapeze. Cause...to be determined.
It would be wrong to say Jem regretted going into police surgery rather than following in his father's footsteps as a country doctor. But it really would be nice if just once, he could go out for an evening and not bring work with him. Ah, well. If wishes were horses, eh?

Summary
Teddy Lovall, Kingsport Inspector-in-residence at the home of Jem Blythe, does not want to be at a conference in Toronto. And that's before the murder happens. When it does, well, Jem and the other Investigateers are onto a good thing, back in Kingsport, if you ask Teddy Lovall. As for the next time one of these conferences comes up, Constable Benwick may go and that's flat.
