  Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . now and then. 
   
   
   
  When Lady Darriby-Jones encounters a roadblock on her quest to reclaim her beloved Rolls-Royce, she dismisses it as another molehill magnified by the local constabulary into a mountainous mess. Little does she know, the kerfuffle involves more than a traffic hiccup—it's a symphony of chaos orchestrated by the untimely demise of her dodgy yet reliable mechanic. 
   
   
   
  Her mechanic may not have been a choir boy, but a dead one? 
   
   
   
  The plot thickens when her driver becomes the prime suspect, courtesy of DCI Rude Manners—the reigning champion of inept policing in England. As Lady Darriby-Jones navigates clues leading to dead ends, it appears the elusive killer has mastered the art of staying two steps ahead. 
   
   
   
  In a world where manners are a must, Lady Darriby-Jones unleashes her own form of etiquette—digging into secrets that lurk around every corner and outfoxing a cunning killer determined to dance away from justice. 
   
   
   
  Will she succeed in untangling the web of deception that entwines her, or will the killer's schemes lead her on a twisted tango into the shadows?

  In 1934, Lola was on top of the world. Dubbed "The Siren" by MGM, she was a protégé of Louis B. Mayer, the original talkie sex symbol before the rise of stars like Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow. But like Harlow, Lola Grayson had a dominant stage mother and bad health that struggled to meet the demand of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Exploited, pushed, primped, and promoted as MGM's biggest star, Lola Grayson made one fatal mistake—falling in love with fellow MGM star Robert Taggart. Together, they were the golden couple that audiences demanded to see. But Lola wanted what every young woman at the time wanted - a husband and a family. For a major star, that was a death sentence. 
   
   
   
  In the present day, Joey Cabot is a novelist with a struggling career. In a stroke of fate, she purchases Lola Grayson and Robert Taggart's former home in Los Angeles. It was a secret love nest they kept hidden from the world, but what comes out of the old walls is a secret no one wanted to see the light of day. Something so explosive that it could lay Hollywood history wide-open. In discovering that secret, Joey sees the salvation of her career, but it soon becomes apparent that Joey isn't working for her salvation, but for Lola's.

  Visitors are arriving in droves to spend Thanksgiving in the mountains of pet-friendly Wagtail, Virginia. Many of them are bringing dog and cat gingerbread houses to enter in the contest that will be held in the new convention center. Wagtail resident Orly Biffle bequeathed the land to the town in his will, provided that they not cut down the grand old oak tree on the property. Orly's children are mighty miffed that they didn't inherit the prime piece of property overlooking the lake. 
   
   
    
  Holly notices that Trixie and Twinkletoes, her calico kitty, are fixated on the big oak tree. Trixie barks at it as though she thinks it's a corpse! Just as contestants are spicing up their sweet gingerbread creations, the majestic tree drops an enormous limb. The mayor declares that the tree is dangerous and must come down. When a bulldozer churns up some roots, the tree falls over on its own accord revealing a body inside the trunk! Initially, everyone suspects this unsavory trick was Orly's doing. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to keep the truth under wraps. Trixie and Twinkletoes now have to help Holly sniff out some suspects and leash a conniving killer.

  A hidden note. 
  A buried skeleton. 
  A mystery years in the making. 
  When a child’s scribbled note is found in an attic in the Scottish Highlands, it points to a long-concealed crime. Soon after, a skeleton is unearthed at a nearby archaeological dig—and secrets buried for decades begin to surface. 
  Detective John Prentice prefers to work alone. He certainly doesn’t want help from Melanie Harris, a fearless podcaster with a nose for local stories and a knack for asking too many questions. But as evidence emerges, John and Melanie are pulled into a mystery that someone is still desperate to keep buried. 
  Buried Secrets is the first of the Strathavie Mysteries to feature this sharp, engaging duo in a gripping, Christian mystery that blends suspense with humour, friendship, and deeper insights on why God, and His Word, can be trusted—even when people can’t.
