The Case Of The Cat Crazy Lady: Cathy Carter and her brother Douglas own an animal rescue center in the small town of Buttercup Bend. After the local “Cat Crazy Lady,” Maggie Broom, is found dead, Cathy is stunned to learn that Rainbow Gardens and Rainbow Rescues is the recipient of most of Maggie’s estate.

With the Buttercup Bend church's 1970's costume dance and Cathy's birthday fast approaching, can she bring Bodkin's killer to justice?

The guests who attended the dinner at which Doris died are invited back for a reenactment of that night. These include the gardener, veterinarian, and farmhand, who all had motives to murder Doris, as well as Doris' sister and her ex-husband.

    When Eliot’s wife pops from the inside out, he’s left with a question no detective, cult leader, or scientist can answer: why her — and why now? As strangers follow the mess to explode without reason, Eliot finds himself caught in a surreal investigation that makes less sense the deeper it goes. The police are baffled. The news is trembling. And somewhere between sleep and waking, love is washing off the blood. 
    Darkly funny, strangely romantic, and unsettlingly familiar, Love Pop is a postmodern, speculative mystery and metaphysical thriller about love, loss, and the quiet apocalypse of meaning. 
    It’s not the end of the world — just the messy part in between.

    📚 When the body of a wealthy literary patron is discovered in the rare books room of the "Chapters & Crimes" bookshop, owner and former English teacher Maeve Bennett finds herself at the center of a real-life whodunit. The victim was found clutching a first edition Agatha Christie, with a cryptic bookmark left as the only clue. With the police convinced the killer is someone from her literary circle, Maeve must use her knowledge of classic mysteries to clear her name and those of her fellow book club members. Assisted by her literary-minded golden retriever, Poe, and a reluctant local detective who's more familiar with crime reports than crime fiction, Maeve uncovers a plot thicker than a Russian novel. From forged manuscripts and stolen first editions to secret literary rivalries, every chapter reveals a new suspect. Can Maeve read between the lines and catch the killer before she becomes the next victim in this deadly story?
