Read what people are saying about Final Fling FIVE STAR REVIEW – Foster breathes new life into the cozy genre with a suspenseful and clever murder mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Unlike any cozy mystery you've read, Maggie Foster has created a world that will make you want to join the town of Loch Lonach and be part of the community. Final Fling is a must-read and a must-have for every mystery reader as it possesses true originality and an upbeat spirit with Scottish charm, a suspenseful murder mystery, and a unique world view. Readers' Favorite, Liz Konkel "I absolutely love the setting for this piece! You have nailed it." Judge, Writers League of Texas, Manuscript Contest “Final Fling is the fourth in a series, but don't let that stop you. The plotting and characterizations are masterful. The pace is perfect. I never saw the end coming! One thing I can promise, if you haven't read the others, you'll want to after reading this one!” Amazon Reader, Kim S. “For anybody who loves a good mystery, I HIGHLY recommend this series and this book in particular! The concept in this book is my favorite so far! BONUS FUN-There is an element in here that seems completely implausible but is based on a true story.” Mary H., Librarian “Rich in detail, satisfyingly rife with misdirection, and offers a complete secondary story line for the red herrings. There is no problem understanding why each of the not-guilty might wish to put the victim out of everyone’s misery. A new twist is that, in this novel, all of the active red herrings (and there is one who qualifies as passive) think they might actually be guilty. My advice? Read Final Fling, then write Maggie and demand she get busy on the next book!” Amazon Reader, Clio B.

The book analyses how international law addresses interactions between international organizations. In labour governance, these interactions are ubiquitous. They offer each organization an opportunity to promote its model of labour governance, yet simultaneously expose it to adverse influence from others. The book captures this ambivalence and examines the capacity of international law to mitigate it. Based on detailed case studies of mutual influence between the International Labour Organization, the World Bank, and the Council of Europe, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the pertinent law and its key challenges, both at institutional and inter-organizational level. The author envisions a law of inter-organizational interactions as a normative framework structuring interactions and enhancing the effectiveness and legitimacy of multi-institutional governance.
