Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the wishes of her overprotective fiancé, Sarah Booth Delaney can't give up her detective work, no matter how dangerous it becomes. It's too much a part of her. On this case, avoiding danger might be impossible—she's on the trail of a porn-star-turned-psychic operating from a haunted estate on the edge of town. Medium Sherry Cameron promises to reunite grieving family members with their dearly departed, but it seems vaguely suspicious that Sherry will only accept emotionally vulnerable and tremendously wealthy clients. Aging billionaire Marjorie Littlefield fits the profile perfectly—her daughter died in a tragic accident as a young girl, she's been estranged from her son for decades, and she's planning to leave her considerable inheritance to her cat. Convinced she's uncovered a scheme to separate a lonely woman from her fortune, Sarah Booth talks her way onto the estate as a maid, where she finds Marjorie and several other wealthy eccentrics ready to commune with the dead. Between chores, Sarah Booth explores the estate, mingles with the other staff...and finds a few dead bodies. But which guest or staff member might be the killer? Even Jitty, Sarah Booth's personal haint, won't tell until Sarah Booth has uncovered all of Sherry's well-kept secrets. With spooks and charlatans around every corner, Sarah Booth is the only PI in the southlands who can put an end to this elaborate scam in Bonefire of the Vanities, the charming twelfth entry in Carolyn Haines's sparkling series.

Her family was left without any answers -- without any idea who killed Helena, or why. So when eighteen-year-old Seneca Frazier sees a desperate post on the Case Not Closed message board, she knows it's time to change that. Helena's high-profile disappearance is the one that originally got Seneca addicted to true crime. It's the reason she's a member of the site in the first place. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, she agrees to spend spring break in Connecticut working on the case with Maddy Wright, her friend from Case Not Closed. However, the moment she steps off the train, things start to go wrong. Maddy's nothing like she expected, and Helena's sister, Aerin, doesn't seem to want any help after all. Plus, Seneca has a secret of her own, one that could derail the investigation if she's not careful. Alongside Brett, another super-user from the site, they slowly begin to unravel the secrets Helena kept in the weeks before her disappearance. But the killer is watching . . . and determined to make sure the case stays cold. #1 New York Times best-selling author Sara Shepard is back with The Amateurs, first in a gripping new series packed with scandalous twists, shocking betrayals, and sizzling romance.

Best of all, he has the girl of his dreams at his side, Sara Blake, who is an equally famous star from a Hollywood family. Together, they live the kind of life that most people only ever get to dream about. And then one day out of the blue, Marty gets a phone call from his youngest sister. All at once he is reminded of his past, which he had conveniently filed away in the farthest reaches of his mind. Unpleasant memories and experiences bubble up to the surface as his sister pleads with him to come home to the family farm in Kansas. Reluctantly he agrees, in spite of the terrible news she has given him. Arriving on a stormy afternoon in the early summertime, his dread builds as she drives him to his boyhood home, where the family he has not seen in twenty years is waiting for him. But what he finds there surprises him, and leads him down a path which he had never even considered. Over the course of several weeks, he rediscovers the family which he had all but forgotten. And along his journey, he must confront the mistakes of the past, which still hold some sway over the present. In the end, the love and forgiveness offered by his family in spite of the tragic events they must learn to accept, gives Marty a whole new outlook on life. Just when we think that we have set the course for our lives and begin the odyssey, the wind changes, and steers us in a completely new and unexpected direction.
