Book excerpt: "A lively debut filled with local color, red herrings, both sprightly and spritely characters, a smidgen of social commentary, and a climactic surprise." --Kirkus Reviews A delightful English cozy series begins in August 1924. Lady Adelaide Compton has recently (and satisfactorily) interred her husband, Major Rupert Charles Cressleigh Compton, hero of the Somme, in the family vault in the village churchyard. Rupert died by smashing his Hispano-Suiza on a Cotswold country road while carrying a French mademoiselle in the passenger seat. With the house now Addie's, needed improvements in hand, and a weekend house party underway, how inconvenient of Rupert to turn up Not in the flesh, but in--actually, as a--spirit. Rupert has to perform a few good deeds before becoming welcomed to heaven--or, more likely, thinks Addie, to hell. Before Addie can convince herself she's not completely lost her mind, a murder disrupts her careful seating arrangement. Which of her twelve houseguests is a killer? Her mother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Broughton? Her sister Cecilia, the born-again vegetarian? Her childhood friend and potential lover, Lord Lucas Waring? Rupert has a solid alibi as a ghost and an urge to detect. Enter Inspector Devenand Hunter from the Yard, an Anglo-Indian who is not going to let some barmy society beauty witnessed talking to herself derail his investigation. Something very peculiar is afoot at Compton Court and he's going to get to the bottom of it--or go as mad as its mistress trying.

Book excerpt: When a pro cheerleader is accused of murder, she turns to an old flame for his sleuthing—and seduction—skills in this lighthearted romantic suspense novel. Sure, Harper made a few unsavory threats against her team’s manager—she’d had a few drinks and despised the skimpy uniform he expected her to wear. That didn’t mean she wanted him dead. But when the sleazy dude is found murdered in his tighty whiteys, Harper is the prime suspect. Former FBI agent Noah Slade is the one man who can help. Too bad she once told Noah she never wanted to see him again. Noah may have done a number on Harper’s heart all those years ago, but he’s determined to do right by her now. Yet the fiery beauty isn’t the only demon from his past, which makes hunting down a murderer by her side . . . complicated—never mind the powerful attraction still pulsing between them. Good thing he’s willing to do just about anything to keep from losing Harper again. And an old love just might bring her a new career—assuming she can stay out of jail.

Book excerpt: Gretchen Lowell, the world's most beautiful serial killer, has escaped from prison in Chelsea Cain's unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat thriller, Sweetheart. With Heartsick, Chelsea Cain took the crime world by storm, introducing two of the most compelling characters in decades: serial killer Gretchen Lowell and her obsessed pursuer Portland Detective Archie Sheridan. The book spent four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and garnered rave reviews around the world. But the riveting story of Archie and Gretchen was left unfinished, and now Chelsea Cain picks up the tale again. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland's Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be the Beauty Killer's first victim, and Archie's first case. This body can't be one of Gretchen's—she's in prison—but after help from reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead woman's identity, it turns into another big case. Trouble is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has escaped from prison. Archie hadn't seen her in two months; he'd moved back in with his family and sworn off visiting her. Though it should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. The news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly, he's relieved. He knows he's the only one who can catch her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her thumb once and for all. Chelsea Cain has topped her own bestselling debut thriller with this unputdownable, unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat read.

Book excerpt: In this lighthearted romantic suspense novel, a cheerleader turned PI tech wiz wonders if her neighbor is a wanted criminal—or if she just plain wants him. Summer O’Keefe’s new neighbor, Jason Parker, has gorgeous eyes and a mighty cute butt. She wouldn’t mind ending her romantic dry spell by diving into his sheets…if she hadn’t spotted him in the middle of the night, burying something—or someone?—in his backyard. Not to mention his distinct resemblance to the international arms dealer she’s tracking online. Jason has a few secrets, and he’s not sharing them with the slightly nutty Summer—at least not yet. Though he’s finding it hard to say no to her scrumptious curves and impressive smarts. He’s so far gone he’s even taken in a pregnant cat, just to see the smile on Summer’s face. But when a local woman disappears, it’s time for them to team up and use their combined brains, brawn, and beauty to crack the case. “A fun rom-com with a dose of mystery that will keep readers on their toes. This is a story you’ll want to gobble up quicker than a slice of pie.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nancy Drew meets The X-Files in this fun, nostalgic, and gripping whodunnit."It's 1959 and school is out for the summer. When Mary-Sue overhears reports of a monster lurking around her small seaside town, she sees the perfect opportunity to go from under-appreciated sidekick to full-time partner in The Britannica Junior Detectives--that is, if romance doesn't get in the way first. Danny Britannica is Mary-Sue's best friend and founder of the amateur sleuthing duo. While she's a bit of a social outcast, always absorbed in her science-fiction pulp magazines, he's the valedictorian, prom king, captain of the football squad, and the most eligible bachelor in town. He's also just developed a very time-consuming crush on a mysterious beatnik girl who claims that the world is about to end. Frustrated with his dismissive and distracted attitude toward her case, Mary-Sue sets out into the swamp to stubbornly solve the mystery herself. There she meets a handsome, motorcycle-riding greaser who claims that there's a government conspiracy afoot--that what she's searching for isn't a monster at all; it's an alien, and he can take her to its flying saucer. This charming, exciting, and romantic love-letter to classic amateur detectives stories is a twist-filled mystery with lots of quirky small-town characters and a touch of romance. Readers rave: "There's lots of humor, there's drama, some social commentary, and of course a big helping of mystery and suspense that keeps you turning those pages. The writing is rich and strikes the perfect tone, never taking itself too seriously, while still treating the characters as real." - Amazon Review "Gallagher updates the teenage detective trope with fully realized characters who are allowed to err, learn, and grow." - Amazon Review "A clever thriller reminiscent of a Nancy Drew mystery type of book." - Amazon Review "Engaging plot with relatable characters in a throw-back setting. I read it and loved it. So did my 12 year old daughter!" - Amazon Review This cozy, humorous, and empowering mystery is the perfect rainy-day read.

Book excerpt: Dead as a . . . dentist? They say sugar is bad for your teeth, but can it actually kill you? The Brea Ridge police seem to think so when they find cake decorator Daphne Martin wielding an oversized plastic toothbrush over a dentist’s dead body. Daphne moved back to her small Virginia hometown just months ago to open her Daphne’s Delectable Cakes business and already she’s been mixed up in murder. Now she’s got to prove her sweet innocence again. After hours of police questioning, Daphne returns home to find Elvis Presley in her driveway. She’s certain she’s hallucinating until the leather-clad hunk orders up a pink Cadillac cake for a convention of the Elvis impersonators. Daphne accepts, but her reporter-boyfriend Ben is suspicious of Elvis’s intentions. Does the King want to make Daphne his confectionery queen? Or is the convention a ruse for a more sinister operation? Daphne’s own investigation into Dr. Bainsworth’s murder, meanwhile, reveals the dentist made as many enemies as he did fillings. Just about anyone could have done him in, but it’s up to Daphne to find the killer—and finish Elvis’s cake—before she’s the one singing “Jailhouse Rock.”

Book excerpt: Damaged Portland detective Archie Sheridan spent ten years tracking Gretchen Lowell, a beautiful serial killer, but in the end she was the one who caught him. Two years ago, Gretchen kidnapped Archie and tortured him for ten days, but instead of killing him, she mysteriously decided to let him go. She turned herself in, and now Gretchen has been locked away for the rest of her life, while Archie is in a prison of another kind---addicted to pain pills, unable to return to his old life, powerless to get those ten horrific days off his mind. Archie's a different person, his estranged wife says, and he knows she's right. He continues to visit Gretchen in prison once a week, saying that only he can get her to confess as to the whereabouts of more of her victims, but even he knows the truth---he can't stay away. When another killer begins snatching teenage girls off the streets of Portland, Archie has to pull himself together enough to lead the new task force investigating the murders. A hungry young newspaper reporter, Susan Ward, begins profiling Archie and the investigation, which sparks a deadly game between Archie, Susan, the new killer, and even Gretchen. They need to catch a killer, and maybe somehow then Archie can free himself from Gretchen, once and for all. Either way, Heartsick makes for one of the most extraordinary suspense debuts in recent memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series debut for fans of Jenn McKinlay, baker Teddie St. John spends her time away from the oven writing murder mysteries. But is she herself a murderer? Everyone in Lake Potawatomi, Wisconsin, knows Teddie St. John. Tall, curly-haired Teddie is a superb baker, a bohemian bon vivant, and a mystery writer. Teddie is walking her American Eskimo dog, Gracie, when her four-legged friend finds Teddie's missing silk scarf. Only problem: the scarf is tied tightly around the neck of a beautiful blond woman, the fiancée of a touring British author. Before you can say "Wisconsin kringle," Teddie becomes a murder suspect. Everyone in town knows all too well that the distinctive scarf was hers. But there are more layers to this case than there would have been on poor Kristi's wedding cake. Tavish Bentley should be bereaved after his sweetheart's strangling. Instead, the dashing Brit takes a shine to Teddie's witty wisecracks and to-die-for cookies, and soon he's mooning over her instead of mourning his bride. That is, when he's not dodging the attentions of Annabelle, an obsessive fan who's taken to stalking him. And when a second murder shocks the community, the plot thickens to the consistency of fondant as Teddie stands accused of not one, but two, murders. With the help of her friends Sharon and Char, can Teddie clear her name and deliver a killer's just desserts?

Book excerpt: Polls have recently confirmed what has long been suspected; most men do not want brainy women. Stewardesses have turned out to be that occupation blessed most often with marriage. The key elements appear to be uniforms and travel.' It is 1947 and in the aftermath of World War II halcyon days have not returned to Magrit, Minnesota, where the veterans have failed to come home. The men haven't died; they've just moved onto greener pastures, rejecting the local women, who served the war effort in the Scientific Kitchen of Margaret Mill. The mill was founded by Henry Collins, the man responsible for Sweetwheats, the world's first puffed and sugar-coated cereal. As part of a publicity campaign, Henry creates the Sweetwheats Sweethearts all-girl baseball team, convincing the mill girls that this will help them find husbands. 'A joy to read.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the main characters in the story are in the early twenties. While some of the plot deals with their romantic problems, the main thing is their attempt to solve the mystery of the murder of Nancy Bonwit, a former girlfriend of Mark Forbes. They come to believe the poems Mark Forbes wrote about Jean Bauer while they were separated have hidden meanings. They believe they can be read as parts of a puzzle, a solution of which will help lead the police to Nancys killer. Mark Forbes is the earnest but flawed main male character in the story. Jean Bauer is the main female character. She and Mark went steady during her Junior and Senior years in high school. Marks clueless indifference to important things like Jeans birthday and Christmas finally result in a dramatic break up on Jeans Prom Night. Jean decides to attend college in New Jersey to get away from Marks and his indifferent ways. After her sophomore year she comes back home to her parents house in Maryland feeling that she has severed her ties with Mark. She transfers to another college near her home where she is befriended by Brenda Cranston who, like Jean, is in her junior years. It proves to be a faithful meeting. It is Brenda who first notices the dual meaning of Marks poems about Jeans and the mystical chemistry that seems to flow between them. And it is Brendas experiments with Jean acting as the guinea pig that prompts Jean to explore caverns , visit Marks first girlfriend, and come dangerously close to a hooded young men who maybe Nancys killer.
