My name is Suzy Lighter, short for Suzannah, retired from a large corporation which I had learned to hate after 20 years, way too much politics, but it paid the bills and added to our family income, mother of two and grandmother of four, and part time private eye. And busier now than I ever was when I worked full time. This trip to Dallas was supposed to be some down time for my husband Ronnie and me, but turned out to be just the opposite. I wanted to see the Dallas quilt show.

Join starving artist Lia Anderson and her friends at Cincinnati’s Mount Airy Dog Park as they unravel mysteries in a series that “…continues to deliver for readers who enjoy thoughtfully crafted mysteries that combine elegant plot twists with characters, both human and canine, you'd love to have as friends.” —Stephen Campbell, CrimeFiction.FM This bundle contains the first four Lia Anderson Dog Park Mysteries, written by C. A. Newsome, hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “a true talent of the genre.” Book 1: A Shot in the Bark A grieving artist, a smitten detective, a devious killer: You never know who you'll meet at the dog park. Would you recognize a killer if you talked to one every day? Artist Lia Anderson doesn't. Neither do her friends at the Mount Airy Dog Park. When the apparent suicide of Lia’s deadbeat boyfriend draws the attention of Detective Peter Dourson, he decides to adopt the dead man’s dog to infiltrate the tight group he’s certain conceals Luthor Morrissey’s killer. As his investigation uncovers secrets, a grieving Lia fights her growing attraction to the laid-back detective. Meanwhile, Luthor's killer lurks, desperate to stay ahead of the investigation—no matter who has to die… Book 2: Drool Baby Who can you trust when everything you believe is wrong? Artist Lia Anderson survived the murder of her boyfriend and betrayal by a friend, emerging from trauma with a hunky new detective beau, an exciting commission, and a straight-talking therapist to help her sort everything out. When a disturbing message raises questions about Luthor's death, Detective Peter Dourson launches a clandestine investigation into the closed case. Lia copes by refusing to accept that her world is still not safe. Neither of them realize digging for the truth will place her in the crosshairs of a killer increasingly out of control. Book 3: Maximum Security Lia's loyalties are tested when Peter arrests the wrong woman for murder. Lia Anderson's escape-artist foster dog shows up with a human femur, sending Detective Peter Dourson on a hunt for the man's identity that ends with an ironclad case against the man’s former high school sweetheart. Lia shouldn’t have skin in this game, but she helped Peter apprehend Kitty and now she feels responsible. Worse, she believes Kitty may be innocent. When Lia's best patron takes up Kitty’s cause, the pressure is on for the dog park gang to uncover the truth. Book 4: Sneak Thief Lia’s kindness to an orphaned beagle draws the attention of an obsessed killer. Lia's new friend Desiree has a secret admirer, one who leaves her tiny figurines sculpted from twisted aluminum foil. Lia worries about the man’s intentions but the pint-sized sex pot brushes off Lia’s concerns. When Desiree is murdered, Lia not only winds up with the woman's kleptomaniac beagle, she also inherits her stalker. On the outs with Peter and with the police on the wrong track, Lia will have to rely on her wits and her friends if she wants to stay alive.

Nature writing of the first order.” —The Wall Street Journal “A beautiful book; wise and sharp-eared as its subject.” —Robert Macfarlane One minute I was sipping my tea by the window. There was nothing but the palest edge of grey light and a wisp of steam from my cup—and then a shadow swooped out of the air. With the lightest of scratches, as if the dawn light was solidifying into life, there it was, perched like an exclamation mark on the balcony: an owl, come to my home. Owls have existed for over sixty million years, and in the relatively short time we have shared the planet with these majestic birds they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate our collective consciousness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington finds herself struck by all she doesn’t know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures. Darlington begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain, Finland, and the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic for rare encounters with the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Long-eared Owl, Pygmy Owl, Snowy Owl, and more. But when her son develops a mysterious illness, her quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with her search for finding a cure. In The Wise Hours, Darlington watches and listens to the natural world and to the rhythms of her home and family, inviting readers to discover the wonders of owls alongside her while rewilding our imagination with the mystery, fragility, and magnificence of all creatures.
