  1914, Fiji: Akal Singh, 25, would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise—or, as he calls it, “this godforsaken island.” After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and grumpy, Akal plods  
  through his work and dreams of getting back to Hong Kong or his native India. 
   
  When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji’s newspapers scream “kidnapping,” the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case. Akal, eager to achieve redemption, agrees—but soon finds himself far more invested than he could have expected. 
   
  Now not only is he investigating a disappearance, but also confronting the brutal realities of the indentured workers’ existence and the racism of the British colonizers in Fiji—along with his own thorny notions of personhood and caste.  
   
  Early interrogations of the white plantation owners, Indian indentured laborers, and native Fijians yield only one conclusion: there is far more to this case than meets the eye. 
   
  Nilima Rao’s sparkling debut mystery offers an unflinching look at the evils of colonialism, even as it brims with wit, vibrant characters, and fascinating historical detail.

  When former platoon sergeant Matt Kubelsky is paroled from Ray Brook Federal Correctional Institute in upstate New York, he's surprised to find his ex-girlfriend waiting for him out in the parking lot. An ex-girlfriend he's spent years pining for after she dumped him. An ex-girlfriend who wonders if her apparently criminally-hardened ex-boyfriend can help her out of some extra-legal difficulty of her own. 
   
   
   
  During the years Matt was in prison, Kelly Haggerty discovered she couldn't earn a satisfactory living as an artist, so she turned her artistic talents to counterfeiting foreign currency—and ended up embroiled in an international money laundering intrigue. Now she hopes she can get herself out of trouble with a cleverly-plotted theft and one last enormous score. 
   
    
   
  The missing ingredient is someone Kelly can trust to do the dirty work, recruiting career criminals who won't flinch at the opportunity to make good money by whatever means necessary. And Matt is happy to oblige, as it seems like the perfect opportunity to settle the score with the men responsible for ruining his life and putting him away for a crime he didn't commit. The heist—a horseback robbery of valuable artwork from a speeding Amtrak train—seems to be going perfectly, until one of the players starts to suspect he's been paid in counterfeit bills . . .

  Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
  In a small New England town, Lily Michaels is reveling in a tranquil day in her happy place—her bookstore. Contentment evaporates when two archeologists burst through the door on a mission. They're searching for books about amulets—precisely, the cursed Heart of the Soul, on display at the Olde Town Library in Pembroke Cove. Lily’s familiar, Milo, hops onto the counter and the conversation halts Milo’s tail mid-swish. After the out-of-towners leave with the same frenzy as they entered, Milo reveals a secret that could change the coven of the Michaels witches forever. 
  Later that night, Lily and her fiancé, Detective Gage Erikson, are enjoying a moonlit stroll on the beach. They stumble upon the lifeless body of Petra Addington, one of the archeologists from the bookstore, clutching the Heart of the Soul amulet. Questions tumble through Lily’s brain: How did Petra steal it, and why did she end up on the beach, dead? Could the reported curse from the Heart of the Soul have claimed a new victim? 
  With the clock ticking, Lily must uncover the amulet's secrets and protect those she loves. As she investigates the murder and Milo’s past, the very foundation of Lily's life may change forever. Will her determination and skill as a witch be strong enough to solve the murder before there are more victims—including her beloved familiar? 
  Artifacts and Amulets is the 8th novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as standalone. It is a sweet and clean, cozy mystery with a guarantee that the culprit is caught. Happy listening!
