  Successful mystery writer Ruth Roseworth is obsessed with one of the oldest serial murders in history, who happened to operate near Dunscaith Castle. To search her new book, she travels there, to the Isle of Skye, but accidentally ends up in ancient Scotland during the killing spree. 
   
   
   
  Veteran member of the castle guard Liam MacLeod has a reputation as a local monster hunter, and the rash of deaths among his guardsmen leads him to believe an evil sidhe is responsible. When Ruth appears from the future and informs him the serial killer is very human, he's less than impressed with the time-displaced writer trying to tell him how to do his job. 
   
   
   
  But when Liam himself becomes a target for the killer they hunt, he's forced to acknowledge that Ruth is just as big of a distraction as his ego. The two must work together to protect the residents of Dunscaith while also grappling with the growing feelings they have for each other. If they can't find the murdered soon, they may end up as one of his many historical victims.

  Demons run homeless shelters?! 
  Rose is a sweet little angel. She loves rescuing kittens out of trees and helping old ladies cross the street. But she has a deep, dark secret that haunts her at night: Rose is absolutely terrified of demons. They killed her little sister. 
  Rose avoids demons like the plague. However, Jesus sends Rose on an undercover mission to Blackburn Charities. She is supposed to pose as a homeless woman. Jesus won’t tell her why. She reasons that helping the poor has nothing to do with demons, right? Right? 
  Wrong. Rose soon learns that demons are not just involved in the charity work, they control the whole organization! But why would demons help people? Are demons not so bad after all? 
  Rose is convinced something is off. Very off. The secret passages arouse her suspicions even more. The screams echoing from the basements confirm them. The more she investigates, the more she realizes that the charity is a clever front for the nightmares that lurk beneath it. 
  Demonic drones patrol the whole facility. The charity staff is full of monsters in disguise who watch her every move. The CEO is the most horrifying creature of all. Can Rose snatch the helpless humans from the demons’ claws before it’s too late?

  Grace Makutsi’s husband, Phuti Radiphuti, is in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market. Phuti has always been concerned with quality and comfort, but this firm seems interested only in

  Meanwhile, Grace is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. She and Phuti agree to take Patience and Modise in and lend a hand, but things don’t work out quite as intended, and the situation proves difficult for them to handle. It will  
  require not only all of their persistence and dedication but also help from an unexpected quarter to find a solution that will make everyone happy. 
   
  Faced with more than her fair share of delicate dilemmas, Mma Makutsi deals with it all with her usual graciousness. This—along with the kindness, generosity, and good sense for which the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency is known—assures  
  us that, in the end, each of these matters will be set right.
