'Twas the Night Before Murder

Addison Moore

An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premier destination for murder. 
Includes a recipe! 
My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds - not every mind, not every time, but most of the time, and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. 
It’s December in Cider Cove. Christmas is afoot - and so is a killer. 
Mackenzie’s cousin is looking to get married in a haunted house and Mack offers up the next-best thing - the Country Cottage Inn. But when a killer shows up at the rehearsal dinner, it throws a wrench in their nuptials, and in my holiday plans as well. Add Santa to the mix; a war between Georgie, my mother, and me; a couple of adorable fuzzy pups - and you’ve got enough yuletide chaos to jingle anybody’s bell. As it turns out, the holidays really can be murder. 
Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones, and an ornery yet dangerously good-looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer. 
The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.

The Last Monument

Michael C. Grumley

One small handwritten letter, sent from a distant corner of the planet and lost in the system for sixty years … is about to change the entire human race.
Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow … an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident.
But this time, he can't.
The details behind this tragedy don't add up. Unlike every other investigation of Joe's career, the facts make no sense. Each new piece of information only makes the accident more mysterious, and more baffling.
Why would a person receive an age-old letter and suddenly disappear into the thick of night … paying to be flown out of a closed airport in the worst possible weather conditions, by a pilot who hadn't had his hand on the stick in years?
With the only surviving relative insisting her grandfather would never have climbed into a small airplane in the first place, even in perfect weather.
A bizarre string of events culminating in a horrible accident unlike anything Rickards has experienced. Leaving his only hope at understanding it in the hands of the victim's sole remaining relative. Beginning with how a mysterious letter could turn up after being lost in the system for sixty years. Sent by someone who should have already been long dead.
A single letter, Joe Rickards is about to discover, with a secret that will change the entire world.

Death at La Fenice

Donna Leon

There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police  
and a genius at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a world-renowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice. 
 
But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape—a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one …

Jean-Luc Bannalec

Commissaire Georges Dupin is certain these first beautiful summer days in June would be perfect for a fun trip to Saint-Malo. In a region known as the culinary heart of Brittany, the paradoxical city is known for being a uniquely Breton, yet un-Breton, place. Their cuisine's moto is voyages et aventures.

But to his chagrin, Dupin is there instead to attend a police seminar dedicated to closer collaboration between the Breton départements. 
 
 
 
To prepare himself for what's to come while in Saint-Malo, Dupin wanders through the halls of a local market while admiring its aromatic orchestra.

The police know the victim: Blanche Trouin, a chef of the region. They know the perpetrator: Lucille Trouin, Blanche's sister and fellow  chef in the area. The two had a well-known feud. After a bit of searching, Lucille is in custody. The only thing they're missing is the motive. And Lucille refuses to talk. 
 
 
 
Saint-Malo doesn't want help from the visiting commissaires. Even Dupin's assistant is telling him to stay out of it. But Dupin, along with a few of his colleagues, can't help but begin an investigation.
