Synopsis

It’s not every day you get to sit on pristine blue water holding a beautiful, first edition Nadine Gordimer novel, and wondering if you’ll survive the day.

Poe Baxter has always wanted to go to Capetown, and when she hears that a rare book by a famous South African novelist has come on the market, she takes the opportunity to fly to the city. But as soon as she and her best friend Beattie begin researching the whereabouts of this supposed literary treasure, they come upon another mystery that takes their attention and puts them in peril.

What is a rare book worth? A human life or two?

Frosty Fall A: A Cozy Mystery of...

Winter Frost

⛸️ The annual Frostfall Festival in the picturesque town of Silver Lake is a beloved tradition, centered around the town's charming outdoor ice rink. But the festive atmosphere freezes over when the rink's owner—a former Olympic skater with a sharp tongue and even sharper rivals—is found dead on the ice after the opening ceremony. The cause: a fatal blow to the head, disguised to look like a tragic skating accident. The prime suspect is the victim's former protégé, now a local coach, who had very public reasons to want her mentor out of the way. To clear her name, she must lace up her investigative skates and navigate a world of cutthroat competition, hidden resentments, and glittering secrets. With help from her enthusiastic husky, Glacier, and the rink's handsome head Zamboni driver, she uncovers a slippery trail of clues. From sabotaged skates and blackmail to a long-buried scandal that someone will kill to keep frozen in the past, the truth is buried just beneath the surface. Can she solve the case before the ice melts and the killer slips away forever?

The Vampire and the Case of the...

Heather G. Harris, Jileen Dolbeare

Welcome to Portlock: where the dead don’t always stay that way.
When a human inspector drops dead in the Chrome Mine, things get messy fast. The dwarves are up in arms, swearing the mine is cursed, and when a second body turns up—this time without its head—all fingers point to the local hag.
But I’ve met Matilda. She’s terrifying, sure, but she doesn’t seem like the elaborate crime scene type. More of a ‘crush you under a landslide’ kind of gal. Still, with the dwarves baying for blood and a murderer on the loose, I need answers before this case spirals out of control.
Tracking killers is hard enough without worrying about a cryptid monster lurking beyond the town’s magical barrier, my four-legged best friend struggling with his humanity, and my infuriatingly attractive vampire mate trying to keep me out of trouble (good luck with that, Connor).
With a town full of suspects and secrets, I’ll have to dig deep to unearth the truth. Let’s hope I don’t end up buried—undead.
Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family, and a slow-burn romance.
