In
New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’s latest heart-pounding
romantic suspense novel, a woman must track down her husband’s murderer
— or risk being the next victim of a vicious killer.
When
Riley Cowan finds her estranged husband Jeff dead in his palatial home,
she’s sure it’s no coincidence. The police rule it a suicide, but Riley
thinks someone’s out for blood — specifically someone Jeff’s father
ripped off in one of the biggest financial fraud cases of all time. She
suspects that someone is trying to send a message to Jeff’s father: Tell
me where the money is, or everyone you care about will die.
Riley’s
in-laws might be billionaires, but she’s afraid that not even their
dirty money can protect her from an irate investor who will stop at
nothing to get his hands on his misappropriated cash. Enter Finn
Bradley, Philly-based FBI agent and Riley’s love interest from way back
when. Finn agrees to help Riley, and the two reignite sparks they both
thought were extinguished long ago. But can they discover the killer’s
identity in time, before he resurfaces — and strikes again?
In
Laura Childs’s New York Times bestselling mystery series, Suzanne,
Petra, and Toni — co-owners of the Cackleberry Club Café — are equally
good at serving up breakfast and serving up justice. This time they turn
up the heat on a deadly firebug.
As Suzanne is
getting her hair colored at Root 66, she’s stunned to witness the County
Services office next door suddenly go up in flames. Concerned neighbors
throng the streets, and the fire department does their best.
Unfortunately, their best isn’t enough to save longtime civil service
worker — and friend to the Cackleberry Club — Hannah Venable.
Soon
enough, it’s discovered that an accelerant was used to fan the flames.
Someone set the fire on purpose — was Hannah the intended victim?
Suzanne, Petra, and Toni vow to smoke out the culprit.
Unfortunately,
the list of suspects is as varied as the Cackleberry Club’s menu. When
Suzanne finds a possible connection between the fire and the nearby
Prairie Star Casino, she comes to realize that the arsonist wanted
something very big and bad kept secret. And if the ladies aren’t
careful, they may be the ones gambling with their lives.
First in a new series!
Nora Charles doesn’t believe in fate, even if she is a crime reporter who shares a name with a character from The Thin Man. In fact, she’s moving back to Cruz, California, to have a quieter life. But after finding an online magazine eager for material, and a stray cat named Nick with a talent for detection, Nora’s not just reporting crimes again. She’s uncovering them
Back in her hometown, Nora reconnects with old friends and makes some new ones, like Nick, the charming feline who seems determined to be her cat. But not everything about Cruz is friendly. Writing for a local online magazine, Nora investigates the curious death of socialite Lola Grainger. Though it was deemed an accident, Nora suspects foul play. And it seems that her cat does too.
Apparently, Nick used to belong to a P.I. who disappeared while investigating Lola Grainger’s death. The coincidence is spooky, but not as spooky as the clues Nick spells out for her with Scrabble letters — clues that lead her down an increasingly dangerous path. Whether fate put her on this case or not, solving it will take all of Nora’s wits, and maybe a few of Nick’s nine lives.
The spirited sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Murder, She Barked.
Wagtail, Virginia, the top pet-friendly getaway in the United States, is gearing up for a howling good Halloween — until a spooky murder shakes the town to its core.
Holly Miller doesn’t believe in spirits, but the Sugar Maple Inn is filled with guests who do. The TV series in development, Apparition Apprehenders, has descended on Wagtail’s annual Halloween festivities to investigate supernatural local legends, and Holly has her hands full showing the ghost hunters a scary-fun time.
But the frights turn real when Holly’s Jack Russell, Trixie, and kitten, Twinkletoes, find a young woman drowned in the Wagtail Springs Hotel’s bathhouse — the spot of the town’s most infamous haunting. The crime scene is eerily similar to the creepy legend, convincing Holly that the death wasn’t just accidental. Now she’ll have to race to catch a flesh-and-blood killer — before someone else in town gives up the ghost.
The national bestselling authors of the Missing Pieces Mysteries summon up the first Retired Witches Mystery in a brand new supernatural series.
Once upon a time in Wilmington, North Carolina, three witches ran a curio shop named Smuggler’s Arcane. But as the years passed, their magical powers started to fade — leaving them no choice but to conjure up a retirement package.
Before they could blink their eyes or twitch their noses, Molly, Elsie, and Olivia somehow became eligible for AARP. But they can’t fly off to Boca Raton just yet. First they must give up their magic, recruit and train three new witches, and pass on their cherished spellbook.
They’ve barely begun to consider potential practitioners when Olivia winds up dead and their spellbook is stolen. To honor their friend and reclaim their spells, Molly and Elsie are about to go wand-to-wand with a dangerous young witch more powerful than the trio was in their prime. And this time they’re going to need more than magic up their sleeves.
