  Don't miss the perfect Christmas present for yourself (or for that best friend who would definitely help you hide a body…) 
  ––––––––––––––––––––– 
  Anna's Christmas Eve To Do List: 
  1. Wrap the kids' presents​ 
  2. Peel the potatoes ​ 
  3. Get rid of the dead body?! 
  Hungover and exhausted after her family's annual party, all Anna Johnson wants for Christmas is to finish her to-do list and finally sit down with the world’s biggest glass of wine. 
  But when she stumbles across a dead body in her larder, her plans are well and truly buggered. 
  A mysterious death in her home really is the last thing she needs, but with her judgemental in-laws arriving in less than twenty-four hours, turning her house into a crime scene is not an option. If she’s going to save Christmas, it’s up to Anna to find out what the hell’s gone on. Oh – and figure out what to do with the body before one of the kids finds it. 
  And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen…

  Shadows of Villisca 
  Historical Mystery Novel Inspired by Real Events 
  In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, history never truly sleeps. 
  Over a century after the infamous 1912 axe murders shocked the nation, investigative researcher Alex Hartman and forensic scholar Dr. Samuel Graves arrive in Villisca chasing rumors of something older and darker than anyone had ever imagined. 
  When a modern family is found murdered in a chilling copy of the past, their investigation spirals into a tangled web of cryptic journals, forbidden sermons, and a long-forgotten traveling carnival that once passed through town... but did it ever leave? 
  As Alex and Graves peel back layers of buried truth, they uncover evidence of a blood covenant that links past and present, and a ritual still very much alive. Haunted by warnings left in fragile letters and ancient sermons, they must race to expose the sinister force at the heart of Villisca before they become the next chapter in its bloody legend. 
  History has teeth. And in Villisca, it's ready to bite again.

  Viv just wants work—any work. Well, not quite any work. But she's desperate enough to accept a job offer as personal assistant to Jasper Renner—the rich and mysterious owner of the Renner Tea House—even though odd things happen whenever he's around. 
   
   
   
  She expects to deal with rich, entitled Melbournians and a full business schedule. Instead, Viv finds herself following Jasper into a strange new world where a murderous madman has been incarcerated in a secret floor at the old Kew Asylum that may or may not exist in the human world as she knows it. 
   
   
   
  Reality is just as worryingly soft at the old tea house itself, which hides a few too many not-quite-human secrets. In one of the downstairs rooms, there's a little girl who has been a little girl for a suspiciously long time; in the uppermost floor, there are a few windows that show a view that doesn't exist in Melbourne. And then there are the giant cephalopod tentacles that appear from nowhere and disappear again, seemingly at will . . .  
   
   
   
  Now Viv isn't sure if she's going mad, or if the world itself has gone mad and the lunatic in Kew Asylum is the only sane person she knows.

  COLD BURN - A Steve Cline...

  When Bruce Claremont quit his job working on a thoroughbred breeding farm and vanished, his sister Corey asks barn manager Steve Cline for help. So Steve slips into Bruce’s world, and the more he learns, the more he suspects that Corey may never see her brother again. Because all is not as it seems in this pastoral setting where secrets and jealousies and obsessions are the norm, and the present seems to be repeating its fiery past. If Steve’s not very careful, he just might get burned . . .  
  From Publisher's Weekly: Ehrman's knowledge and exposition of life on a horse farm is most impressive and enjoyable.  
  From Booklist: Ehrman skillfully ratchets up the suspense en route to a surprising conclusion that nonetheless makes perfect sense. That is to say she fully engages the reader, then leaves him or her satisfied. What more could you ask of a mystery? 
  From The Daily Oakland Press: “COLD BURN is a terrific, engaging novel full of bits of horse breeding arcana, and a more complex and realistic view of life and death - and birth - than can usually be found in the standard mystery novel.”
