The remains of a highly regarded church member who disappeared without a trace
almost forty years earlier are found buried in the basement of Parkvale
Presbyterian Church in Louisville. Almost immediately after the discovery,
another much-beloved former member dies by suicide at a lonely scenic roadside
overlook. Are the two deaths related?Presbyterian minister Dan Randolph is
pondering his legacy as retirement nears. Now, he's got to deal with the murder,
too, which hasn't just dug up bones, but also long-held secrets of misconduct,
sexual abuse, and scandal-along with angry demands for his own ouster, with some
claiming he's mishandled the situation.SINNER'S PRAYER is the second in a series
of mysteries featuring Dan Randolph and his violin-making husband Greg Zhu. As
the mystery unfolds, readers get an engaging, humorous, sometimes frustrating,
and often touching look into their very different personalities and their unique
relationship. At the same time, the book examines serious issues of not only the
underlying murder, but suicide, sexual abuse within the church, homophobia, and
the changing social realities of living as one's authentic self, told through a
series of flashbacks from present time to 1985. Follow Dan and Greg as the
mystery makes its way through southwestern Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, New York,
and Boston as well as their hometown of Louisville.Who killed the man in the
basement-and why?

Then her master of ceremonies tells her he’s being blackmailed but can’t go to
the police, and before Jaymie can sort that out she stumbles over a dead body at
the tea.Despite the demands of keeping the event up and running, Jaymie can’t
help puzzling over the murder. There’s no concrete evidence linking the cretin
behind the blackmail scheme to the dead body, so she begins questioning everyone
connected to the blackmail, hoping to expose the killer. And just as she
discovers a web of relationships that leads her to the culprit, she realizes
that the Tea With the Queen may have been a royal pain, but outwitting a
blackmailer and catching a killer may be the death of her . . .Includes a
vintage recipe!

The Empty Nest Retreat was supposed to help Juli find herself. Not question her
sanity—or reality.When Juli Tully’s kids fly the coop and she takes early
retirement, the silence in her house is deafening—and not in a calming,
spa-music kind of way. At her mother’s not-so-subtle urging, she signs for the
Empty Nest Retreat at the Sand Bur Estate, a stately mansion perched on the
windswept dunes of Lake Michigan.Juli nearly bolts when she learns the retreat
is phone-free. No texts. No doom-scrolling. No emergency updates from her kids.
Instead, she’s stuck with an unusual group of fellow empty nesters: Nelle, a
perpetually cheerful optimist; Kimmie, a bubbly influencer convinced the estate
is magical; and Jedd, an arrogant dad who fancies himself Parent of the Year—and
takes an instant dislike to Juli.Then things get... strange.Temperatures swing
wildly. Lights flicker. Objects float. Juli can’t tell if her menopausal
symptoms have gone off the rails or if rumors about the estate’s supernatural
past are true.Between meditation sessions and awkward financial-planning talks,
one of the estate’s employees dies under suspicious circumstances. Thanks to
Juli’s increasingly unpredictable “episodes,” she becomes the prime suspect.With
a murder to solve, a reputation to save, and a sarcastic talking cat who knows
more than she’s letting on, Juli must uncover the truth—before this empty nest
lands her in handcuffs.If you love:Empty nest reinventionMidlife amateur

a string of suspicious wildfires erupts in the mountains, authorities clear out
the KOA Campground and surrounding homes, forcing Taryn to postpone her
long-planned summer kick-off picnic. As smoke drifts over town and neighbors
settle in at the fairgrounds, unease spreads right along with it. Then an
insurance adjuster goes missing, and rumors of arson begin to take hold.
Determined to protect her town and her livelihood, Taryn starts asking
questions. Corporate land grabs, bitter zoning disputes, and simmering grudges
point in several directions. Even Silver Springs’ resident prankster seems to
know more than he is saying. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes
that someone is playing a dangerous game, and the fires may be only the
beginning. Set against the backdrop of a Colorado mountain summer, Sparks,
S’mores, and Scandals blends small-town charm, wry humor, and heartfelt
community spirit with a mystery that smolders long after the last ember fades.

Alene Baron has built more than a café—she’s built a community. At Whipped &
Sipped, customers linger over Ruthie’s decadent-but-healthy desserts, children
flock to Saturday story hour, and knitting groups craft blankets for refugee
families. Alene prides herself on knowing her patrons so well she can often
place “a wholegrain blueberry muffin on the counter before the customer
themselves knew” they wanted it.But when her neighbor and close friend is
murdered, Alene’s cozy world begins to unravel. Suddenly, everyone she knows
could be a suspect, and she starts noticing the smallest inconsistencies,
furtive glances, and unexplained comings and goings around the café. With each
clue and misstep, Alene pieces together a tangled web of secrets, realizing that
danger may be closer than she ever imagined—and that her own family could be in
the killer’s sights.With her sharp eye for detail, wry sense of humor, and
fierce devotion to her children, Alene steps into the role of amateur sleuth.
But in a community where tempers flare over hot chocolate, grudges linger for
years, and secrets hide beneath friendly smiles, finding the killer may prove
harder than whipping up the perfect soufflé.Battered, the first in G.P.
Gottlieb’s Whipped and Sipped Mystery Series, is a delectable blend of
mouthwatering recipes, quirky neighborhood drama, and page-turning suspense.
Perfect for fans of culinary cozies, it’s a tale where friendship, food, and
murder are always on the menu.

Murder is on the menu—served warm with muffins and lattes.In the second Whipped
and Sipped Mystery, café owner Alene Baron isn’t exactly grieving when the
neighboring business owner is found dead in his office. Stanley Huff was shady,
sloppy, and smug about his dubious food supplements—and his watery smoothies
didn’t help. He also never cleaned up his trash in their shared alley. Stanley
had plenty of enemies. Unfortunately, one of them may be Alene’s own
employee—who has now vanished.The real surprise isn’t who wanted him dead—it’s
how many people did. Drawn into the investigation, caterer and reluctant sleuth
Alene uncovers a snarl of family drama involving a missing will, bitter heirs,
and long-buried financial secrets. Every lead contradicts the last, red herrings
pile up, and resentments simmer just beneath the surface.As the mystery deepens,
Alene juggles more than suspects. Between running her café, caring for her
family, and protecting her staff, she finds herself relying on sharp instincts,
quiet observation, and a steady supply of inventive vegan dishes. Food and
detection go hand in hand, adding warmth, humor, and heart to every turn of the
case.With its cozy charm and relatable heroine, Smothered is more than a clever
whodunit. It explores family ties, the corrosive pull of greed, and the small
truths people reveal under pressure. Rich in character, culinary flair, and
emotional insight, this mystery delivers satisfying twists—and leaves a lasting
aftertaste.

the police will come knocking. Kacey fears someone saw them. And Alene is caught
in the middle, torn between protecting the people she loves and telling the

secrets don’t stay buried. They smolder.
ABOUT AUTHOR G.P. GOTTLIEB
G. P. Gottlieb has been a musician, teacher, and administrator, but she’s
happiest writing recipe-laced murder mysteries and inventing mostly vegetarian
recipes that are nothing like what she learned in courses at Chicago’s French
Pastry School. Gottlieb is active in Sisters in Crime (Chicago and Colorado) and
has interviewed over 275 authors as a host for New Books in Literature, a
podcast channel on the New Books Network. She writes stories and essays that are
published in a variety of journals and blogs, is a mother and grandmother, and
lives with her husband in a Chicago high-rise that is strikingly similar to the
building portrayed in the Whipped and Sipped Mystery series.

Then 30-something graphic artist Shelby Phillips reluctantly returned to her
small hometown outside Asheville, North Carolina to manage her mother’s
needlepoint shop, she thought it was temporary. But getting entangled in murder
investigations has a timeline of its own...It’s been a little over a year since
Shelby started managing Nina’s Nimble Needle following her office-romance and
career implosion, and Shelby’s mom has finally handed her the reins—technically,
at least. Next, Shelby is excited to oversee two well-known needlepoint
designers who will be participating in the town’s first two-week-long arts
festival . . .Laura Bitters and Paul Bardo have each stitched up one-of-a-kind
pillows that should be big wins for the Nimble Needle at the festival’s auction
. . . until the pillows vanish amid a sudden string of shoplifting incidents.To
add to the knot in Shelby’s stomach, Laura proves highly anxious, while Paul is
an egomaniac who believes Laura has been stealing his customers for years. But
things go from bad to tragic when Laura behaves oddly at the auction dinner,
then collapses—dead.Soon after, Shelby makes a shocking discovery in Laura’s
room at the local inn. Then tests reveal that Laura was poisoned. Resolved to
piece together the truth, despite the police chief’s determination to keep her
on the fringes, Shelby rallies her personal team, including her sister, Jessica,
her friend Deb, and Jake, her potentially more than a friend. As an extra twist,
a magazine reporter arrives with unsettling—yet useful—dirt that includes Laura
and Paul.What unravels is a skein of suspects, long-held resentment, bitter
jealousy, and betrayal, from which Shelby will have to pull the one crucial
thread tied to the killer: a murder-worthy motive . . .

Charlie Kingsley is not a private investigator. She makes and sells custom teas
out of her home. Which is why she initially refused to look into a recent case
of a bar that had burned down.Yes, it was tragic that the owner's body was found
inside. But this is an arson case, and what does she possibly know about
arson?Except...one of the waitresses is missing.Who's pregnant.Who everyone
thought was having an affair with the owner of the bar.How can Charlie say no to
the owner's widow? And when Charlie accidentally finds the pregnant waitress,
things start to take a strange turn. And suddenly, Charlie finds herself thrust
into a decades-old mystery that haunts Redemption to this day.A mystery that
could very well cost Charlie her life.Meet Charlie. Also known as “Aunt Charlie”
from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and
solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in
Redemption, Wisconsin.
ABOUT MICHELE (PW) PARIZA WACEK
A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at
3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and
some detours) but she does spend much of her time writing stories now. Mystery
stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological
thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the
mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including
short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and
still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the
mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter
Cassie.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or
watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert,
she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
While each book is a standalone, you may find it more enjoyable to read the
books in order, which is:
The Murder Before Christmas
Ice Cold Murder
Murder Next Door
Murder Among Friends
The Murder of Sleepy Hollow
Red Hot Murder
A Cornucopia of Murder
Arson, Old Lace and Murder
Masquerading as Murder (coming 2026)

Charlotte Burke can’t shake her recurring dream.Over and over again she dreams
of finding a mysterious journal on a candlelit desk while wandering through a
strange house in the middle of the night. Every dream has shown her a framed
picture of an old woman sitting at the same desk, except the latest version.
Last night, the woman stood and offered Charlotte a keyring. In the morning,
Charlotte woke up with her car keys in her hand.Her best friend is worried but
skeptical when Charlotte insists the house is real. The dream is metaphorical,
Ivy says, reflecting Charlotte’s restless state. Ivy gifts her a journal and
urges her to take the trip her subconscious is demanding before she wakes up
behind the wheel. A roadtrip of self-discovery will help Charlotte figure out
what she really wants.Charlotte agrees to the roadtrip but not for Ivy’s
reasons. To her, the house, the journal and the woman in her dream are all too
real. She sets off to do the impossible. If she can find the house and uncover
its secrets in time, she might save far more than her driftless life.

ASIN : B0GF38FDVD
Welcome to Osage Springs, where small-town charm meets big trouble. When Claire
O’Keefe’s father suffers a stroke, she puts her plans to teach overseas on hold
and returns home to Osage Springs, Arkansas. Between caring for her parents and
reconnecting with her roots, she expects a quiet few months—until a chance
encounter at the grocery store changes everything. An old high school classmate,
now an English teacher at Lakeside High, asks Claire to fill in during her
maternity leave. It sounds simple enough—grading essays, managing teenagers, and
maybe sneaking in a lakeside walk or two. But when a fellow teacher is found
dead in Beaver Lake, the sleepy Ozark town turns tense, and Claire once again
finds herself drawn into a mystery she can’t ignore. This time, the sheriff’s
department is asking for volunteers to aid the search, and Claire can’t resist
lending a hand. But as secrets rise to the surface, she begins to wonder if the
lake is hiding more than just one deadly truth. Can Claire help solve the case
before the next body surfaces... or will she be the one caught beneath the calm,
cold water?
