Their first case together involves a corpse found in a derelict house, with the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall. The investigation spans two continents, revealing a tale of love, revenge, and religious fanaticism in the American West.

    What would you do if you inherited enough money to do anything you desired?  You could buy cars, houses, commercial buildings, businesses, land, golf courses, jets, jewelry (the good stuff), have stadiums named for you, and live a good life.  Travel to all parts of the world without care, no worries, and just be.  You do what you like, work out, play golf or tennis without hurry or rush to get to work or meetings.  Hire the best trainers, chefs, and medical staff to make your body the envy of anyone seeing you on the beach or in the club.  
    Would it be a good life if you used it all on yourself and your immediate family?  The power of money and what it can buy might overwhelm you.  How could you ensure your heirs would use the money to help others? 
    If you are reading this book, you know how to help others.  I hope you continue to uplift your friends, family, co-workers, and unknown helpless individuals, but there are temptations in life. 
    Which side do you choose?  The side wanting to look good, or the side doing good? 
    You can buy friendship, but do you want relationships based on money? 
    Do you have friends?  If you had friends before your inheritance, do they badger you into giving them small pieces of the big pie once they found out (but you can lose the Trust if you tell)?  Would they still be your friends?  What if you gifted everyone you know, ten million dollars?  Would everyone be satisfied and help others?  Would it please you? 
    As a trillionaire, what are you doing?  Are you for good, evil, or what you think is safe between the two? 
    The Davis Trust is your irrevocable trust with money and resources to change the world.  Resources far surpassing a flaunting influence, power, sex, and money lifestyle. 
    Significance is a glimpse at what your father or grandfather intended the Davis Trust to create.  The journey never stops fighting for good, investing in people, and fighting evil.

    A perfect cosy crime for fans of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series. 
    Change is coming to Wendlebury Barrow – and not everyone is happy about it… 
    When the local bus company announces it will be stopping its route through their quaint Cotswold village, the people of Wendlebury Barrow are up in arms. Not least Sophie Sayers, whose driving lessons with her boyfriend Hector get off to a bumpy start. 
    But the locals’ peaceful protests against the decision turn deadly when a body is discovered on the Number 27. No one can work out how a passenger met their demise, let alone how the driver didn’t notice. While the police wait for the post mortem results, Sophie immediately suspects foul play, and launches her own investigation. 
    Can she solve the murder before another passenger is hurt?

    A “Dead is the New Fabulous” Mystery (#3) 
    “Lindsay Maracotta has created in Lucy an exhilarating smart and sassy character. Her insider’s take crackles with fresh insight and laugh-out-loud one-liners.” —Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author 
    “Killingly amusing. Lindsay Maracotta wields the sharpest tongue since Nora Ephron banged out Heartburn. The book’s social observations are right on the money.” —The Chicago Tribune 
    Lucy Frampton lives amid the glitzy trappings of Los Angeles. Her friends enjoy intimate relationships with aroma therapists and body sculptors, and her neighbors' estates boast screening rooms and humidity-controlled wine cellars. The exclusive Windermere Academy, which her daughter, Chloe, attends, has a shrink on the payroll to lead "encounter sessions" when tiny tempests threaten the students' sunny days. And even bit players in the Windermere school pageants have publicists and agents. 
    But Lucy, a sensible, transplanted Midwesterner, keeps her sights down-to-earth. She's an outstanding mom, a sexy wife, and an animator whose career is rocketing. But then, in a flash, her perfect world of storyboard mornings and car-pool afternoons goes from romantic comedy to film noir. 
    Lucy's new nanny, Brandon, college friend—and onetime lover (but that's another story)—is shot dead while driving her husband's car. It's unclear who the intended victim was, but then Lucy stumbles upon something even more chilling: a video hidden among Brandon's things that shows a child committing a murder. 
    Though the authorities yawn, Lucy suspects the killer is cruising through classrooms and lunchrooms, as dewy-eyed innocent as any other kid. With a razor wit and a hilarious irreverence for the trappings of fame as her only weapons, Lucy launches a one-woman investigation, leading smack into the looking-glass world of child actors, where nine-year-olds can fire their own parents, where a child's smile commands top dollar—and a little killer is about to have the last laugh!
