Beschreibung

The biggest society wedding of the year is scheduled for Chicago's prestigious Church of the Good Shepherd. The famous bride is movie star Lisa Julian; the groom, a prominent physician. The minister is none other than the Reverend 'Con' Randollph, former Rams' quarterback, esteemed Episcopal priest—and amateur detective.
The lavish marriage ceremony will be the Reverend's first formal wedding. But the groom isn't the first lover in the beautiful Lisa's colorful life. A whole list of jilted suitors have said yes to the glided wedding invitation's RSVP... and now someone intends to make sure that 'Till Death do us part' comes just after the last whispered 'I do'...

    🧩 The community art center in the quaint town of Crestwood is a peaceful haven—until the body of a wealthy, demanding benefactor is discovered in the mosaic studio, surrounded by shattered tiles and a half-finished mural. The murder weapon is a custom-made tile cutter, and all evidence points to the center's beloved instructor, Maya, who had a very public argument with the victim over funding. To clear her mentor's name, pottery teacher and amateur sleuth Lily must piece together the clues like a intricate mosaic. With help from her perceptive parrot, Picasso, and a handsome art restorer with a mysterious past, Lily uncovers a colorful array of suspects. From art forgery and stolen designs to secret identities and a long-lost masterpiece hidden beneath layers of paint, every student in the class has a motive. As Lily digs deeper, she realizes the killer is still close, and the next shattered piece could be her. Can she assemble the truth before the final tile is placed and the killer's picture is complete?

    The Château du Ciel was once the destination for the rich and famous to play, drink and ski—complete with a private railway to shuttle those desiring extra privacy—now, however, the guests are few and far between. The New Year’s Eve party was supposed to hoist the rundown hotel back to its former status, until a massive blizzard hits, trapping the guests who’ve come to celebrate the grand hotel’s last hurrah. The circumstances might even be romantic, if the hotel wasn't reputed to be haunted. 
    When hotel employee Mave Michael finds the resident artist dead, and shortly thereafter hotel security finds Mave alone with the body, the reputation that Mave has fought long and hard to outrun comes back to haunt her. You see, her father is a notorious hitman who is serving multiple life sentences in prison. She has changed her name and location dozens of times, but he somehow manages to track her down—even sending her a postcard on the eve of her birthday, January 1st. She’s the perfect choice to frame for murder, and now the number one suspect. 
     
    Mave can no longer deny the lessons in survival her father taught her, and calls on that and her uncanny sixth-sense in “finding” lost objects to navigate the maze of the hotel. To save herself, she not only has to stop running from her own past, she must unearth the history of the hotel, its elite guests and buried secrets—one deadly sin at a time. 
     
    An homage to classic gothic horror, that proves that the ghosts of family and classism are alive and well.

    Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... 
    Charley Glass arrived in her family’s lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up.
