  A retired librarian turned detective. A chatty orange cat. A murder at an anniversary celebration in a charming seaside town full of secrets. 
  Mayor Thompson's thirtieth wedding anniversary party transforms from elegant celebration to crime scene when his longtime rival is found dead outside the venue. With all evidence pointing directly at the Mayor, Sheriff Miller wastes no time making an arrest, convinced he has his culprit. Jim Butterfield and his feline partner Ginger are drawn into what might be their most challenging case yet. 
  Complicating matters, Victor Sterling – the businessman Jim and Ginger helped put away – has been unexpectedly released from prison and returned to Oceanview Cove. Sterling's presence in town adds a troubling dimension to an already complex investigation, especially given his chilling prison visit warning to Jim: "I'll be coming for you." 
  Can our detective duo solve the case and determine whether Sterling's ominous return is connected to the murder, or if it signals the beginning of something far worse? 
  Anniversary Murder is the tenth and final book in the Jim and Ginger cozy mystery series full of twists and fun. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.

  No Roast For the Weary

  As much as master roaster Clare Cosi adores coffee, the landmark shop she manages won't survive if she doesn't sell enough of it. So when the Village Blend's customer traffic grinds to a halt, she turns to her staff for creative ideas, and the Writer's Block Lounge is born. 
   
   
   
  Madame, the eccentric octogenarian owner of the shop, is upset by this news. Years ago, a group of accomplished writers used the shop's second-floor lounge to inspire each other, but the group disbanded when something dark occurred. Though that history is shrouded in mystery, Clare presses forward . . .  
   
   
   
  Soon the Village Blend tables are filled with aspiring novelists, playwrights, and poets, all happy to be coaxed, cajoled, and caffeinated by her coffeehouse crew. Clare admires the stamina of these scribes, many of them toiling at night jobs—driving taxis, tending bar, ushering for Broadway—while penning projects during the day. 
   
   
   
  Then one of their fictions turns fatal when a shocking secret leads to a deadly end. Unless Clare can untangle this mystery, uncover the truth, and stop a desperate killer, she fears more of these weary writers may be marked for eternal rest.

  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.

  A fabled lost movie. An increasing body count. How much do you risk for art? 
   
  Paloma has been watching the Grand Vespertilio Show her entire life. Grand, America’s most beloved horror host showcases classic, low-budget and cult horror movies with a flourish, wearing his black tuxedo and hat, but Paloma has noticed something strange about Grand, stranger than his dark make-up and Gothic television set. 
   
  After Paloma’s husband, a homicide detective, discovers an obscure movie poster pinned on a mutilated corpse on stage at the Chicago Theater, she knows that the only person that can help solve this mystery is Grand. When another body appears at an abandoned historic movie palace the deaths prove to be connected to a silent film, lost to the ages, but somehow at the center of countless tragedies in Chicago. 
   
  The closer Paloma gets to Grand she discovers that his reach is far greater than her first love, horror movies, and even this film. And she soon becomes trapped between protecting a silent movie that’s contributed to so much death in her city and the life of her young son.
