    First they warned Jocelyn Johnson. Then they ticketed Jocelyn Johnson. Then someone murdered Jocelyn Johnson. 
     
     
     
    Cara Mia Delgatto was looking for a lost ball when she found Jocelyn "JJ" Johnson face down in a sand trap. 
     
     
     
    It wasn't a surprise. The neighbors hated JJ for the reckless way she drove her golf cart. Sure, she lived on the grounds of a swanky golf club, and yes, she had tons of money, but JJ ruined flowerbeds, terrorized grandkids, and made a nuisance of herself. Except . . . except . . . she's quiet now. Lying there in the dirt at Hole #6. Someone bashed in JJ's head. (Who would risk ruining an expensive Homna golf club like that?) 
     
     
     
    Cara doesn't want to get involved. But when Gerta Hunsickler is named the prime suspect, and Gerta's husband is so angry at his wife that he's starting divorce proceedings, Cara can't sit on her hands. She knows what it's like to be unfairly accused. So she promises to take a swing at it and see if she can hit a long drive down the fairway of justice! 
     
     
     
    If you love warm-hearted, clean books that feature female amateur sleuths, fur babies, family, and friends, you'll love this charming DIY/recycling/upcycling series set on the Southeast Coast of Florida.

    Tokyo, 1979. Yoriko Shindo, a workhorse of a woman who has been an outcast her whole life, is kidnapped and dragged to the lair of the Naiki-kai, a branch of the yakuza. After she savagely fends off a throng of henchmen in an attempt to escape, Shindo is only permitted to live under one condition: that she will become the bodyguard and driver for Shoko Naiki, the obsessively sheltered daughter of the gang’s boss. 
     
    Eighteen-year-old Shoko, pretty and silent as a doll, has no friends, wears strangely old-fashioned clothes, and is naive in all matters of life. Originally disdaining her ward, Shindo soon finds herself far more invested in Shoko’s wellbeing than she ever expected. But every man around them is bloodthirsty and trigger-happy. Shindo doubts she and Shoko will survive much longer if nothing changes. Could there ever be a different life for two women like them? 
     
    Akira Otani’s English-language debut moves boldly through time and across gender, stretching the definitions and possibilities of each concept. Rendered in a gorgeous translation by International Booker–shortlisted Sam Bett, this lean, mean thriller proves that bonds forged in fire are unbreakable. 
     
    “Otani’s explosive debut navigates gender and time, offering a gripping, unbreakable thriller.”—Tokyo Weekender

    The Reluctant Witness 
    (By Sal Blue) 
    Some truths refuse to stay buried. 
    Detective Darrius Blue thought the nightmare ended when the Confessional Killer was caught. But when a traumatized survivor emerges with whispers of an ancient brotherhood inside the Church—known only as The Order of Clemency—Darrius is pulled back into a web of secrets that reach higher and deeper than he ever imagined. 
    With Detective Sarah Donovan at his side, Blue’s pursuit of justice drags them through a maze of lies, sacred oaths, and silent witnesses who would rather die than speak. Each clue exposes another layer of corruption, each confession another soul lost to penance and power. 
    When a reclusive nun steps forward with evidence too damning to ignore, Blue must decide how far he’s willing to go for the truth—because in this investigation, even the innocent aren’t untouched, and the guilty hide behind holy walls. 
    As old enemies resurface and alliances blur, Blue discovers that salvation and damnation often share the same confessional. 
    Faith. Guilt. Vengeance. Redemption. 
    In The Reluctant Witness, the line between them is razor-thin—and crossing it may cost Darrius Blue everything.

    Bryan Crawford's murder is the perfect crime: no witness, no weapon, no indication that his death is anything other than the result of diabetes complications.

    Leah quickly zeroes in on the dysfunctional dynamics of the Crawford family. Beneath the happy fable they tell the world lies a dark tale of jealousy, greed, and revenge. 
     
     
     
    Bryan's wife, his daughter, his sister, and his stepson each have secrets to hide. Every one of them have reasons to want Bryan dead. And they are all going to great lengths to keep Leah from the truth. 
     
     
     
    Then Leah makes a shocking discovery, and is propelled into a confrontation with the killer. It's a fight she must win to save someone she loves. But time is running out. As raging flood waters surge forward, Leah acts. The consequences will change her life forever . . . and you will never guess how.
