  Detective Trinity Calhoun's closest friend was due back weeks ago from his undercover operation, and the last thing she wants to do is take a trip. Not even to attend a high-profile conference at a swanky hotel on a beautiful island with all expenses paid. But with her boss counting on her, Trinity sets aside her misgivings and goes. 
   
   
   
  Except from the moment she sets foot on the ferry, something feels . . . off. First comes a man who's far too interested in her. Then Trinity swears she's spotted her late-to-return friend. And someone—who could be an ally or a foe—is definitely planting breadcrumbs for her. Is a little girl missing or is that, too, a misdirect? 
   
   
   
  Quickly, Trinity realizes the danger is closing in. And she's trapped. Hemmed in by a storm that's cut off both digital and physical access to the mainland. Her survival depends on her ability to differentiate between clue and bait. Because someone wants to help—and someone wants her dead. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  🪡 Cross-stitch shop owner and sampler expert Xandra Stitch is preparing for the National Needlework Exhibition when the head judge—a notoriously harsh critic—is found dead in her shop, a rare antique needle protruding from a priceless historical sampler. The police suspect a crime of passion, but Xandra notices the cross-stitches in the sampler have been altered to form a coded message and the victim's critique notes contain hidden patterns. With her shop's reputation hanging by a thread and the needlework world watching, Xandra must cross-stitch her way through the investigation. Assisted by her stitching circle and the handsome museum curator authenticating the sampler, Xandra uncovers a scheme involving forged historical samplers, stolen embroidery patterns, and a black market for antique needlework. From suspicious floss colors that don't match the period to stitch tension that reveals multiple crafters, every X tells a story. But when Xandra discovers the victim was systematically discrediting authentic samplers to devalue them for a collector's scheme, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile legacy more intricate than any embroidery. With the exhibition opening soon and the real culprit still stitching deception, Xandra must unravel this tangled thread before her own design gets permanently frogged.

  Another entertaining and enlightening entry in the Bruno, Chief of Police series, featuring an archaeological dig in the French countryside that unearths World War II–era mysteries—all while Bruno dishes up more culinary magic 
   
  When Abby, an American archaeologist, arrives in St. Denis on the heels of her divorce, she hopes to make a new life for herself as a specialist guide for visiting tourists. So when a local British couple discover a grave from World War II on their property, Abby is able to put her training to good use. As it turns out, in the grave are the remains of two German women and an Italian submarine office who had a big secret to hide: the women are suspected of having had links to the German garrison in Bordeaux during the war. It’s up to Bruno, just recovered from a gunshot wound earlier in the year, to unravel the mystery—and its contemporary relevance. His task is made more difficult by the horrible heat-dome summer, which is raising both temperatures and tempers, while unprecedented amounts of rain drench the Massif Central and threaten increasingly dramatic floods. 
   
  As Bruno drills to the heart of the case, matters get even more complicated when both Abby’s financially distressed ex-husband and a mysterious, dashing Italian naval office arrive, with very different ideas in mind. Once again, Bruno is left to serve the guilty their just rewards, and his friends some sumptuous Perigordian cuisine.
