  A decaying Venetian palazzo becomes the stage for a chilling gathering where masks hide dangerous secrets. As an elegant widow, a charming historian, a sceptical medium, a conflicted priest, and a naive heiress are drawn together, whispered truths and spectral voices unravel their facades. Shadows thicken, storms rage, and every secret threatens to shatter their fragile bonds. In this gothic tale of deception, guilt, and haunting revelations, Venice itself becomes a labyrinth of mystery—where the past refuses to stay buried, and the game of masks has only just begun.

  In May 1997, eighteen-year-old Laura McPherson left her house for a run and didn’t return. Twenty years later, a reporter arrives in the small town of Griffiths to write an article about the unsolved murder of Laura McPherson. He is the most recent in a long line of journalists, podcasters, and amateur sleuths seeking new insights into what really happened to Laura. Laura’s younger brother, David, a repressed and stuck thirty-something, is dealing with the recent death of his mother when the reporter comes knocking. The last surviving family member, David has lived a sheltered life, protected from the prying eyes of the media by his mother. But David cannot escape the past forever and soon finds himself confronting the lasting impact of his sister’s death. As David learns more about his sister and the history of Griffiths, his eyes are opened to the casual violence, misogyny, and racism that lurk just below the surface of his seemingly placid community. Provocative and haunting, Not That Kind of Place is a compelling exploration of our obsession with true-crime stories and the devastating effects of systemic violence on our most vulnerable populations.

  Spring has sprung in Clover Grove and Ivy is expecting baby goats... and old ghosts. 
  When rescuers drop off a trio of pregnant goats at Runaway Farm they also deliver the promise of renewal and fun. Instead, the arrival of a ghost from Ivy’s past coincides with another murder in quaint Clover Grove. Learning about goat midwifery becomes the least of her problems. 
  An ornery pickpocket goat makes a good addition to the crime-solving “farm family.” Will that be enough to outplay a heartless killer before the onslaught of kids arrives? Or will someone else die as the menagerie grows? 
  The next book in the Bought-the-Farm Mystery Series is a perfect page-turner for lovers of animals, cozy mysteries and funny, spunky aspiring sleuths.
