But wedding it is, as she tries to sneak the groom’s forgotten ring to her daughter before the ceremony. Her plan for a quick escape from the venue is thwarted when she discovers a body and a garden full of suspects, including her former mother-in-law. With the Cavanaugh name in danger of being dragged through the Wickford rumor mill, Cece’s ex reluctantly asks her to investigate the suspicious death and put the gossip to rest. Cece agrees . . . if he’ll pay off her van and save her housekeeper’s job. The new detective in Wickford and missed phone calls from her boyfriend, Alder, create more trouble for Cece as she questions suspects and gathers clues—not just for the murder, but trying to figure out what is up with her missing boyfriend and his elusive voice mails. Every moment is precious, because the longer it takes for Cece to clear the family name, the more likely her ex is to back out of their deal. In a desperate attempt to end Cece’s snooping, the killer sets a trap to silence her. Will Cece’s hope for justice and a paid-off van go up in flames?

In LEFT TO LAPSE, when a body turns up on a high-speed train passing through France, Germany and Italy—clearly the work of a serial killer—authorities wonder: whose jurisdiction is it? FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp—triple agent of the U.S., France and Germany—is called in as the only one capable of maneuvering the layers of authority and of tapping her brilliant mind to stop the killer. But as more victims turn up—on other trains, in other countries—the case grows increasingly complex. Can this all be the work of one serial killer? And if so, where will he strike next? In LEFT TO VANISH, when a seemingly unconnected string of murders occurs in vacation homes scattered throughout the French countryside, many involving American, German and Italian expats, FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp—triple agent of the U.S., France and Germany—is called in to cross borders and use her brilliant mind to figure out who is behind it. Are the murders coincidental? Or are they the work of a single, deranged serial killer? And can Adele stop him before he strikes again? In LEFT TO HUNT, when masked victims turn up dead at midnight balls in Venice, FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp—triple agent of the U.S., France and Germany—is summoned to find the killer before he can strike again. As Adele navigates the historic canals of Venice in her hunt for a killer, she wonders if there is an unseen pattern to the murders. Is it a nod to history? Or merely the work of a deranged mind?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the further adventures of newlyweds John and Julia Pickett as they solve mysteries and struggle to make their unequal marriage work. “John Pickett…[is]…a little young, but wholly delectable.” —All About Romance FOR DEADER OR WORSE After a modest wedding ceremony at the home of his magistrate, John Pickett and his bride Julia depart London for Somersetshire, where Pickett faces his greatest challenge yet: meeting his in-laws. Sir Thaddeus and Lady Runyon are unimpressed with their new son-in-law, but the squire asks for his help nevertheless. Lady Runyon believes the house is haunted by the ghost of her elder daughter Claudia, who disappeared thirteen years earlier and whose body was never found. When Sir Thaddeus’s groom is discovered with his throat slit, Pickett decides to investigate on his father-in-law’s behalf. Then Claudia’s childhood sweetheart takes a hand, and it appears the distant past is not so distant, after all. MYSTERY LOVES COMPANY Back in London following his honeymoon, Bow Street Runner John Pickett finds it galling to be financially dependent on Julia, his aristocratic bride. When he’s summoned to Lady Washbourn’s town residence, Pickett discovers that he has something in common with the young countess: like himself, she has married above her station, and finds herself adrift in a world to which she does not truly belong. Now she fears her husband is trying to kill her—and when a maid dies during her masquerade ball, it appears she may be right. With a reward of fifty pounds sterling riding on his successful resolution of the case, the marriage Pickett saves just might be his own. PERIL BY POST Summoned to England’s scenic Lake District by an anonymous letter, Bow Street Runner John Pickett poses as a honeymooning tourist along with his wife, Julia. But Pickett’s contact is murdered before he can disclose the reason for the summons. And since Julia saw it happen, it appears she might be next on the killer’s list. INTO THIN EIRE Haunted by memories of his last case, in which an innocent woman was killed, Bow Street Runner John Pickett welcomes the distraction of a new challenge in England’s West Country—although he wishes his traveling companion might be his wife, Julia, instead of his Bow Street colleague Harry Carson. Then word reaches Pickett that Julia has been abducted, and it soon becomes clear that someone else remembers that last case—someone with a thirst for vengeance. BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A CRIME? When word reaches Bow Street of a child fleeing the scene of a botched robbery—a child bearing a striking resemblance to a certain Bow Street Runner—John Pickett realizes he has a half-brother running amok in the rookeries of London. When he discovers the boy has fallen in with a criminal gang, Pickett must work against one of his Bow Street colleagues before ten-year-old Kit is arrested and perhaps even hanged. But the price for obtaining the boy's freedom may prove to be higher than he can afford to pay…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder's on the menu in this savory debut. Gwen (nee Katz) Silver heard the brisket at her uncle's Jewish deli, Murray the Pastrami Swami--the only one of its kind in Nashville, Tennessee--was "to die for." But she didn't realize that meant literally. . . When Gwen learns she's inherited Murray's, the native New Yorker leaves her chaotic career and messy divorce behind to start over in Nashville.

Murray's taken his recipes and secret list of food suppliers to the grave with him, and ruthless real estate developer Royce Sinclair will stop at nothing to try and sandwich Murray's into his already overstuffed portfolio. Then, on Kosher Karaoke Night, longtime customer Buster Sergeant bites into his brisket. . .and bites the dust. The coroner says food poisoning, but Gwen's not convinced. Now, with the help of hunky police detective Beau McClintock, "Nashville Katz"--as Gwen is quickly nicknamed--will find herself adding "private investigator" to her resume--and a new love to her life. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Delia Rosen is the author of A Brisket, A Casket and One Foot in the Gravy. She now lives in Maine. She spends her time between writing and searching for good bagels.
Download or read book The Tender Coconut Tamasha written by Joe Chacko and published by GasUndHeit Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST, PAGE TURNER AWARDS 2020 ***** "Funny and fast-paced crime caper..." ***** "India's answer to Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe" ***** "Couldn't put it down" ***** “The future of light crime fiction is Inspector Chatpati” Inspector Hari Chatpati is under pressure. It’s been barely four months since Chatpati helped foil a terrorist attack on the State Parliament. And now his dubious reward is to lead Bangalore’s very first Civil Nuisance Unit, a semi-autonomous police division tasked with tackling minor crime. The CNU is barely operational before it’s inundated with work. There’s a flasher in the park, accosting lone women commuters. Someone has urinated in the fountain at the Planetarium. A criminal syndicate of beggars occupies the pavements. And some vagrant has dumped a load of rubbish outside the house of a prominent politician. As if things weren’t bad enough, Chatpati’s nemesis, the vindictive Assistant Commissioner of Police, orders Chatpati to look into a case deemed too trivial for any other police division: an Austrian traveller hospitalised with food poisoning. What’s so unusual about a tourist suffering from dysentery, anyway? In India, where the potholes can kill you before the samosas can. Chatpati suspects the ACP is out to humiliate him, but the Inspector has no choice but to investigate. It’s not long before the CNU’s investigation sparks widespread rioting and disorder. Bangalore is riven, its markets in flames. The media starts braying for blood, preferably Chatpati’s. Hamstrung and humiliated, the Inspector’s future, and that of his untested team, is at stake. Will they triumph against the unseen forces arrayed against them? The Tender Coconut Tamasha is a fast-paced, often funny mystery for the 21st Century, set in a teeming Indian metropolis where tradition rubs up against modernity at every turn. The book is inspired by Alexander McCall Smith’s Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency and Vaseem Khan’s Inspector Chopra. If you’re looking for a cosy mystery with teeth (but without bite marks) or searching for a break from the conflicted detective chasing a twisted serial killer, this might be the book for you. Trigger warning: contains infrequent, mild profanity and non-explicit depictions of one consensual sexual act between adults (six lines, really, with the only anatomical term being “buttocks”).
Download or read book The Irritable Heart written by Jeff Wheelwright and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2001 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheelwright (former science editor for Life magazine) profiles five ailing Gulf War veterans from their deployment to the Gulf, through their experiences in the Gulf War, and their subsequent illnesses and attempts to discover the causes. He argues that the illnesses belong in the company of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and multiple chemical sensitivity. Pointing out precedents in military history that go back as far as a Civil War malady known as "irritable heart," he argues that the illnesses are a combination of physical symptoms greatly magnified by psychological distress. Because modern medicine deals with the body and mind separately, he contends, the health investigation of the veteran's illnesses is bound to fail.

Tired of being an art world pariah, Annie hopes that if she can help return the masterpiece to Italy, she’ll finally be redeemed.
