Synopsis

In "Initials Only," Anna Katharine Green crafts a riveting detective narrative that explores themes of identity and societal constraints through its intricate plot and compelling characterizations. The novel is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, employing a style rich with Victorian sensibilities while foreshadowing the genre's evolution into the modern detective fiction we recognize today. The book centers around a mysterious murder and the elusive initials of key witnesses, providing a platform for Green to delve into her trademark exploration of the psychological complexities surrounding crime and justice. Anna Katharine Green, often hailed as the 'mother of detective fiction,' was influenced by her contemporaries and the tumultuous social transformations of her era, including the early feminist movements. Her extensive legal background and keen interest in criminology allowed her to imbue her stories with profound legal and ethical questions, uniquely positioning her to captivate readers with compelling mysteries that challenge conventional notions of gender and morality. Readers seeking an astute blend of suspense and psychological depth will find "Initials Only" to be a remarkable exploration of the socio-psychological dimensions of crime. Green's pioneering narrative not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the darker aspects of human nature, making it an essential read for enthusiasts of classic detective fiction.

    Cassie McGlone’s Comfy Cats grooming service can turn a scruffy stray into a glamorous Cat-dashian. But with a drug-peddling killer at loose in her picturesque hometown of Chadwick, New Jersey, she’ll need to comb through some dangerous suspects to avert a catastrophe...
    
    To an animal lover like Cassie, all cats are beautiful... though some may be more photogenic than others. When a customer brings in Quentin, a Maine Coon who looks more wolf than feline, it gives Cassie an idea. The owner of Chadwick’s retro movie theater wants to promote an upcoming werewolf movie marathon—how about a werewolf lookalike contest for pets?
    
    Things are getting hairy around Chadwick in other ways too. A thief targets the clinic where Cassie’s veterinarian boyfriend Mark works, making off with anesthetics. Soon after, a young woman dies in a related drug incident. Wanting to help the police, Cassie and her good friend, Dawn, go undercover on the singles scene to investigate a suspected “party drug” ring, getting Mark’s protective hackles up. But the villain may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing—someone Cassie knows and trusts. And if her sleuthing skills aren’t up to scratch, the culprit may slink away to kill again...

    Twenty-five-year-old Linda Donovan has spent her life working for her father, Anthony, at Donovan and Daughter Exterminators in New York City. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, her father makes his annual visit to his late wife’s grave while Linda heads to a Park Avenue apartment building to work solo. When she arrives, she finds the body of an elderly resident, partially eaten by rats. The gruesome death not only speaks poorly of the Donovans’ exterminating services, it also points to foul play. When the cops show up, they demand to speak to Linda’s father. But despite her efforts to contact him, Anthony has gone off the radar. As he evades a possible murder charge, Linda’s father records in five notebooks—and five damning acts—the story of how he met and fell in love with her mother, a previously untold history of familial abuse, tormented souls, and true love gone terribly wrong. Skillfully weaving together domestic suspense, a desperate police investigation, a love affair, and a serial killer on the loose, acclaimed author T. M. Dunn’s Her Father’s Daughter is perfect for fans of Oyinkan Braithwaite and Karen Dionne.

    A murdered bookstore owner. A memoir exposing decades of corruption. And a serial killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden.
     
    When Emma Hartley is hired to fact-check a explosive memoir written by beloved Willow Creek bookstore owner Margaret Chen, she expects a routine investigation into local corruption. What she doesn't expect is to find Margaret murdered in her own shop—killed to suppress the very truths Emma's been hired to verify.
     
    Margaret's memoir documents forty years of corruption in their picturesque coastal town, naming names and providing evidence of crimes that stretch back decades. But most disturbing of all, Margaret identified a pattern of suspicious deaths that suggests Willow Creek has been home to a serial killer for over twenty years—a killer who eliminates anyone who threatens to expose them.
     
    "Secrets in the Stacks" is the sixth book in the Moonlight Café Cozy Mystery Series. Join Emma Hartley as she investigates her most dangerous case yet—one that will test her courage, threaten her marriage, and prove that some truths are worth dying for.
