    _The Frazier family has been through a lot of turmoil over the last few years. After Tallulah and Peter suffered the invasion of Trent Lockley, it took some time and therapy for the crazy bunch to get back on track. They are not what they once were, but many people might say they are even stronger now. Vladimir has always been the oddball among the Frazier kids. With his love for reptiles, gothic appearance, and devil may care attitude; he can be easily separated from the rest of the Frazier bunch. At twenty-two, he is standing on solid ground and trying to create a life of his own. However, it does get lonely sometimes. He is young but knows his days of partying and sleeping around cannot last forever. Growing up in a small town and deciding to stay there does not leave him with many options. He still hangs out with the same friends he always has and is slowly running out of options when it comes to the female population of Tyler, Texas. That is until Carrisa Abbott walks into the pet store where Vladimir works. Of course, she is accompanied by her controlling, hotheaded boyfriend Jalal, so Vladimir eases back, not wanting to step on anyone's toes. He is still a Gentleman. Little did Vladimir know, that would not be the last time he saw Carrisa; it turns out she needed help, and Vladimir was all too willing to swoop in and save the day. His good intentions find a way of backfiring on him. No good deed goes unpunished. Vladimir has started a war with his act of not-so-random-kindness. Now he needs to suit up and get ready for the battle. Good thing he has the Frazier boys to back him up._

    Snow-covered mountains, luminous glass ornaments, and ethereal wedding gowns . . . 
     
     
     
    When Winifred Page attends the Christmas-themed bridal show for a preeminent designer—solely to fulfill her role as best friend and maid of honor, mind you—she is stunned to find herself relishing the details of soft lace and the spectacular blown-glass display dangling overhead. Her delight doesn't last long, though, as Fred's aversion to everything fashion makes her jealous of her corgi, Watson, no doubt napping at home under the cozy Christmas tree. 
     
     
     
    The romance and elegance of haute couture doesn't fade to a sublime end, however, as the show comes to a dead stop—literally, for one Estes Park merchant—with a cry of murder as a body is discovered in a lace-strewn dressing room. 
     
     
     
    Untangling relationships wrapped in secrets and lies is anything but a simple sashay down a runway. But Fred and Watson are determined to fashion the truth from the scraps they uncover to ensure justice and to return their cozy town to silent nights and white Christmas dreams for the holidays.

    Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball—and bad in bed to boot—Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she’s all set to take the world by storm.  
    If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs... 
    When Savannah Martin’s fellow Realtor and friend Lila Vaughn is robbed during an open house, Savannah rushes to the rescue with tea and sympathy, or at least a really good lunch and a shoulder to cry on. However, Lila seems more peeved than distraught, and her main gripe is that the sexy robber who tied her to a kitchen chair—for her own good—didn’t follow her suggestion to tie her to the bed instead. 
    Lila’s description of the man fits Savannah’s old school-mate Rafael Collier to a T. Rafe has recently turned up in Savannah’s life again, and he isn’t above doing a little breaking and entering. Metro Nashville Homicide Detective Tamara Grimaldi is of the same opinion, and when Lila turns up dead, tied to her bed and strangled, Rafe becomes a suspect. 
    Now Savannah must get busy finding the real murderer before Detective Grimaldi can arrest the wrong man.

    When Jan Frischof, a dying elderly man, gives a deathbed confession too unbelievable to be true, journalist Heloise Kaldan immediately knows there’s a deeper story to uncover. Her gut soon proves to be right—Jan immediately backtracks and warns her that they will both be in danger if she asks any more questions. Could this kind and elderly man really be a cold-blooded killer? Heloise quickly realizes that this is a darker, and far more complicated, investigation. Jan is clearly afraid of something, but who or what he’s afraid of could be a dangerous question for Heloise to find the answer to. As she digs deeper, Heloise begins to see that Jan's confession is connected to a string of decades-old disappearances. But next of kin and police are lying to her at every turn, and she has no idea what else Jan could be hiding. Enlisting her friend, detective inspector Erik Schäfer, Heloise begins her descent into the past, unsure of what she will unearth.

    Canon Spratte saw himself as he thought others might see him: mediocre, pompous, self-assertive, verbose. Maugham could have added ambitious, hypocritical, and vain. In this engrossing social satire, Theodore Spratte, a cleric, motivated by an obsessive desire to be elevated to bishop, embellishes his family history and intrudes upon his son's and daughter's courtships. A reviewer in 1906 wrote, "The whole book is an admirable blend of cynical gaiety and broadly farcical comedy; it is the smartest and most genuinely humorous novel that the season has yet given us." -- Lee Smalley
