  "Chloe Abbington and her sister, Izzie, are enjoying huge success running Paint with a View, their paint party business in the tranquil western New York lakeside town of Whisper Cove. Now, their aunt Constance—president of the local chapter of the Chautauqua Sisterhood—has hooked them up with a gig hosting a Halloween painting party. The guests will be painting a local ghost legend, the Lady of Chautauqua Lake, who died a hundred years earlier and rises from the lake every October to haunt anyone who dares venture out on All Hallows’ Eve. The event seems to be going off without a hitch, until Chloe overhears an argument between Constance and Viola Finnwinkle, the Sisterhood director, about the fate of the local chapter. Both women leave and the sisters finish their painting. But the next morning, Viola’s body is discovered floating face down near the town ferryboat dock. Eerily, the image is an exact replica of a painting Chloe and Izzie had discovered at the event the night before. What’s more, the police find Constance’s purple knit hat lying on the ground near the crime scene. Constance pleads innocence, saying the hat mysteriously went missing during the event. Frantic that she might be charged with murder, she begs Chloe and Izzie to help her. The sisters believe their aunt is innocent, but if so, who’s the real killer—and when will the next victim turn up?"

  After years of turmoil, things are finally looking up for Columbus, Ohio, private eye Andy Hayes. As Sick to Death opens, Andy is relishing his new gig: a drama-free, family-friendly stint as a guard at the Columbus Museum of Art. What could be better than regular hours, a steady paycheck, and an attractive coworker who may be just as interested in him as he is in her? Right on schedule, Andy's newfound equilibrium comes crashing down when he interrupts the theft of a valuable painting—and is promptly fired for breaking protocols. Helping him thwart the robbers is a young woman whom Andy has caught staring at him several times. To his shock, she reveals she's an adult daughter he never knew he had. But Alex Rutledge, about to enter the Columbus Police Academy, isn't looking for family time. She wants to hire her newly discovered father to find the driver who killed her mother, Kate, five months earlier in a still unsolved hit-skip accident. Andy uncovers troubling details about Kate's death that point toward murder and an angry anti-vax sentiment roiling below the surface at the hospital where she worked. Complicating Andy's case, he finds himself in the crosshairs of an FBI investigation into the attempted art theft. With time running out and his and Alex's lives on the line, Andy rushes to defend his reputation as a private eye and find Kate's killer.

  When the Tuckers' next-door neighbor mentions someone rang their doorbell late the previous night, Sarah and Kenny Tucker check their home's security camera and discover something shocking: the doorbell ringer also visited their house and it wasn't a teenager playing a prank, but instead a terrified young woman with a shackle hanging from her right wrist. She anxiously pressed the doorbell again and again, glancing over her shoulder as if someone was coming for her, before giving up and taking off into the dark. 
   
   
   
  Almost overnight, she becomes known as The Girl on the Porch—and she's everywhere. There are updates on all the local networks, national coverage on CNN and Fox News, and the video goes viral on social media. Before long, everyone has seen the harrowing security camera footage. 
   
   
   
  Kenny and Sarah figure it's only a matter of time before someone recognizes the woman, but as the days pass and no one comes forward, odd things begin to transpire around the Tucker family: a man intensely watches them at a restaurant and then vanishes, fresh footprints appear in the garden next to their house where no one should have been, a neighbor's pet is viciously killed and mutilated, and a mysterious man has started following their daughter Natalie . . .

  Erin O’Reilly has been walking a dangerous line. In order to save her lover, smooth-talking gangster and former bomb-maker Morton Carlyle, she’s been pretending to be a dirty cop. Her efforts have worked well—too well. Evan O’Malley and his underlings are convinced Erin is a criminal just like them. But that means, by the unwritten code of the underworld, she’s now fair game.

  A serious error in judgment puts Erin’s family on the line, pulling her loved ones into the ring. With more than one life hanging in the balance, Erin and her K-9 Rolf will need every bit of strength, skill, and courage to face down their deadliest opponent in a fight without rules or referee, where the winner will be the one left standing.
