  Next time you rent a house, make sure you're the only occupant. 
   
   
   
  If it wasn't for a flamboyant, self-absorbed ghost occupying Katie Aubrey's rental house, the thirtysomething former business tech turned charcuterie chef would be able to concentrate on her new sandwich shop and catering business. But as luck would have it, former food critic and septuagenarian Edith Ellory will not let go. Not until she convinces Katie to find out who killed her. 
   
   
   
  In spite of a coroner's report stating Edith had died peacefully in her sleep, her apparition insists she was murdered. Not only that but she's convinced she knows who did the dastardly deed. Vowing not to give Katie, or her laidback beagle a moment's peace, Edith takes them on a wild goose chase through all the restaurants that received scalding reviews from her. 
   
   
   
  If Katie ever expects to have her new charcuterie business up and running, she'll have to do more than arrange cured meats and cheeses. The real killer is closer than she thinks, and no amount of culinary design sense will prevent her from the same fate as Edith's.

  But did she actually do it? Or is she being set up? 
  It's up to Charlie to sort through all the twists and turns in a case that gets more complicated the deeper she digs. 
  Meet Charlie. Also known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

  Armadale

  Armadale is one of Wilkie Collins's most complex and thrilling novels, a masterwork of Victorian sensation fiction that weaves mystery, psychological depth, and moral intrigue into a powerful narrative of fate and obsession. First published in 1866, the novel explores how secrets of the past can shape—and destroy—the lives of those who inherit them.
  
  The story begins with a confession that reveals a dark crime committed years earlier, binding the destinies of two young men who share the same name: Allan Armadale. As they grow into adulthood, friendship, betrayal, and hidden motives intertwine, leading to a tense struggle against manipulation and revenge. At the heart of the novel stands one of Collins's most unforgettable creations—Lydia Gwilt, a brilliant, dangerous, and morally complex woman whose intelligence and desperation drive the story toward its tragic climax.
  
  Through intricate plotting and shifting perspectives, Collins examines themes of identity, inherited guilt, fate versus free will, and the psychological consequences of wrongdoing. His vivid characters and suspenseful pacing keep readers in constant uncertainty, while his exploration of moral ambiguity challenges conventional Victorian ideals of virtue and villainy.
  
  Armadale is both a gripping mystery and a profound psychological study, showcasing Wilkie Collins at the height of his creative powers. Dark, daring, and emotionally rich, the novel remains essential reading for fans of classic crime fiction, Gothic literature, and the origins of the modern psychological thriller.
