Sinossi

Our mystery selections kick off with “A Matter of Trust,” N.M. Cedeño’s tale of a genetic genealogy detective trying to prove an illegitimate child’s claim to a family trust. Thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken for this one. And Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has a Halloween-appropriate tale in “Grimalkin,” by Mark Thielman, in which a cat may be more than it seems. We also have fantasist Phyllis Ann Karr’s first sale—which turns out to be a mystery!—and a novel by British master J.S. Fletcher. And, of course, no issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.

    With the summer days getting shorter in the seaside village of Nairn, the annual bagpiping competition at Ramsey Castle promises to be quite the end-of-season blowout.

    With a possible murderer in their midst, the rest of Nairn won't breathe easy until Paisley applies her sleuthing skills to make sure justice is served and the killer pays the piper . . .

    For centuries the Wilde women have lived at Foxglove—a cabin hidden deep in the woods, promising to shield them from the horrors and expectations of the outside world. 
    But in every generation, danger lurks. 
    For every Wilde woman who chooses to call Foxglove home, they do so with a warning passed from mother to daughter like a sacred heirloom: Foxglove’s secrets must never be spoken about—especially to men. 
    Still reeling from a bitter divorce, Corinne Wilde returns to Foxglove with her teenage daughter in search of refuge. She hopes to find comfort in the heartbeat of the old place—the meadow where she played as a child, the orchard where she climbed to the tops of trees, and the shadowy forest where she danced with imaginary friends. 
    Upon her arrival, there’s an odd energy—like a whisper of warning she can’t quite make out—and Corinne knows something isn’t right. 
    Someone has been inside the old home.  
    Someone wants them to leave. 
    Far away from her best friend, with zero answers from her estranged mother, and surprised by her ex-husband’s unexpected arrival with unknown intentions, Corinne is more alone than ever. If her family is to remain safe within Foxglove’s walls, she must unearth the secrets buried beneath generations of silence and fear.  
    If she doesn’t heed the warnings of the past, Foxglove’s roots might just pull her under, too. 
    Told through the interwoven lives of the Wildes—mothers, daughters, healers, outcasts—Wilde Women is a spellbinding literary thriller that pulses with ancestral power, fierce love, and the whispered truths of sisterhood throughout the generations. To what degree are we shaped by the ones who came before us? How much can our lives be changed by someone we will never know? And can our loved ones ever truly be lost if we carry their stories with us?

    Podcast co-hosts Raspy Fuse and Salty Remarks receive an anonymous text: one of the three author guests you plan to interview Tuesday night intends to kill you both.  
    At first, the co-hosts think the text is a joke.  
    Why would egotistical poet William Z. Wisp, sexy romance author Della Molasses, or tightly wound thriller writer Edwin Nocturne want to kill them? Raspy and Salty have never met the scribblers.  
    The co-hosts approach their killer interviews as a fun adventure until they learn another literary podcaster died mysteriously when she interviewed the authors and a psychologist specializing in writer therapy has been treating the writers for mental health issues. Worse yet, the co-hosts discover suspicious ties between the authors and disgruntled members of their own podcast team, doubling the suspect list. 
    Raspy and Salty decide to tap into their experience reading and writing mysteries to identify their would-be murderer and unravel the plot before it’s too late. If they can’t, their sense of humor and wordplay will be all they have left to avoid death by podcasting.
