Sinopsis

Dorothy Lundegaard helps her brother John run Lundegaard Investigations, a business their father ran from his retirement from the St. Paul, Minnesota, police force until his death in 1935. The business just barely ekes by, but helping people with problems means more to Dottie than any other work she could possibly find.
 
People like Charles Meyer, a man still holding out hope for the sister he hasn't seen since the day her hand slipped out of his while walking through the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Just sixteen, and never seen again.
 
Her disappearance is the coldest of their father's cold cases, the one he never solved despite decades of effort. But Dottie possesses resources her father never had. Maybe, just maybe, she can help her brother finish the work their father started so many years ago.
 
"The White City Disappearance," a short story in the continuing Dorothy Lundegaard Mysteries.

    J. D. Storm is an ex-Army sniper, discharged after losing an eye in battle. Finally finding work at the illusive Desire Card—an unsavory organization that promises "any wish fulfilled for the right price"—he heaves a sigh of relief. But when those wishes become too immoral, J. D. quickly finds out that no one reneges on the boss, a powerful and eccentric madman known only as Clark Gable because of the realistic mask he wears, without paying a hefty price. 
     
     
     
    On the run, J. D. begins a white-knuckle cat-and-mouse chase that takes him northwest where he hides out with a former girlfriend and tries to scrounge up enough cash to flee the country. But with every second that passes by, Gable's other masked operatives are closing in. 
     
     
     
    Soon, J. D. discovers just how widespread the organization's contacts are—no longer knowing who he can trust. Rather than running, J. D. decides that his best shot is to take out the head of the snake. After all, the hunted must become the hunter if he has any hope of surviving. 
     
     
     
    Ingeniously plotted and filled with twists and turns, Prey No More follows those indebted to this sinister organization—where the ultimate price is the cost of one's soul.

    Dory Quillin, nineteen-years old, her white-blonde hair ruffled by the gentle breezes of a June evening, lies dead in the parking lot of a lesbian bar. Her bewildered silver-blue eyes stare beseechingly into the mind and soul of the woman who kneels beside her: LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield. 
     
     
     
    The investigation is far from a simple matter. Kate uncovers shocking facts about the brief life of the murdered young lesbian. She finds her road to the killer obstructed by Dory's uncooperative, judgmental parents, the waning interest of her own partner, and most frustrating of all, the open hostility of women who should be her allies—the lesbians who frequent the Nightwood Bar. Kate's emotional equilibrium is further disturbed by her powerful attraction to one of those women, the enigmatic Andrea Ross. 
     
     
     
    Who killed Dory Quillin? And why? Accompany Kate Delafield on her electrifying, emotional journey to the answer, an answer you will never forget.

    Two spies. One mission. No way out. 
     
    Budapest, 1948. The Soviet stranglehold on Eastern Europe tightens as paranoia and fear sweep the streets. When seasoned operatives Will Shaw and Thomas Jacobs are sent to extract a brilliant Hungarian cryptographer, they expect a dangerous but routine mission. What they don't expect is that the man refuses to defect without his kidnapped daughter. 
     
    With time running out and Soviet forces closing in, Will and Thomas must navigate a city where every shadow hides an enemy, every whispered word is a betrayal, and no one can be trusted. Their only chance at escape is a last, desperate train ride toward the Austrian border, but even that is a trap waiting to be sprung. The KGB's most ruthless officer is watching their every move, and one wrong step could mean a bullet in the back—or a one-way trip to a Siberian prison camp. 
     
    As the stakes rise and the mission spirals out of control, Will and Thomas find themselves fighting not just for survival, but for each other. Their love has endured war, secrets, and impossible odds, but this time, even their unbreakable bond may not be enough.

    Feisty enchanted hedgehogs with eye-watering gas, a half-dragon with an attitude, and a headless corpse aren't the best things to start the day with! 
     
     
     
    But that's what we encounter in our first week working for animal control in Crimson Cove. We'd only come here to find a missing person but got more than we bargained for.

    When the angels are stumped over who killed Osorin Greenbow, we poke around. It doesn't take long before we find a worrying connection to the body, a dangerous gang of magical criminals, and what happened to Zandra's mother (she's the missing person.) 
     
     
     
    How will a plucky witch and a strikingly beautiful white cat (that's me) beat the gang, find the killer, and locate Zandra's mother? 
     
     
     
    Care to find out and help me solve a murder, while I share a secret or two with you? 
     
     
     
    Then welcome. The price of entry into this magical witch mystery is one head tickle and some finest fishy treats for me.

    📍 Knitting shop owner and stitch marker artisan Markie Place is hosting a knitting retreat when the retreat's star instructor—a famously demanding technique perfectionist—is found dead in her studio, surrounded by hundreds of scattered stitch markers arranged in a suspicious pattern. The police suspect an allergic reaction, but Markie notices the markers form a complex knitting chart and the victim's project notes contain color-coded markings that don't match any known pattern. With her retreat in chaos and the knitting community unraveling, Markie must place the clues in perfect order. Assisted by her knitting regulars and the handsome materials scientist analyzing polymer compositions, Markie uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit markers, stolen artisan designs, and a plot to sabotage independent crafters. From suspicious plastic formulations that reveal inferior materials to clasp mechanisms that don't match the advertised quality, every placed marker tells a story. But when Markie discovers the victim was systematically copying small artisans' unique marker designs for mass production, she realizes the killer is protecting creative originality more valuable than any manufacturing profit. With the retreat ending soon and the real copycat still marking territory, Markie must cast on the evidence before her own designs get permanently purled.
