Sinopsis

Three food processing industries managers are mysteriously murdered in the USA and Europe. A fashion photographer and one of his ex model, who were involved at the end of the Nineties in a famous advertising campaign for animal protection, investigate. In their investigation, they will cross the way of two other well-known models, from Florida to California, Brazil and South Africa to the center of Africa, at the heart of darkness.
 
Between crime and fantasy, a novel on fashion, the author is a worldwide famous expert, but also on animals, the United States, Africa, and the world today with its tensions and stakes.

Helter Skelter is a riveting thriller that intertwines the fashion world with ecological and social issues. The mysterious murders of three agro-industry leaders in the USA and Europe, unsolved by national police and the FBI, kickstart an investigation by an unusual duo: a fashion photographer and one of his former models, connected by a past highlighted by a landmark animal rights advertising campaign.
 
Their investigation takes them on a journey across a broad geographical spectrum, from Florida and California in the USA to South Africa and the remote regions of East Africa, exploring themes of corruption and ecological activism through the lens of the fashion industry and the fight for animal rights. Helter Skelter delves into the darkest aspects of the human soul and the closely guarded secrets of the food industry.
 
This thriller highlights the complexity of the links between fashion aesthetics, environmental issues, and power dynamics, while implicitly critiquing the exploitation of animals and humans. The choice of protagonists from the fashion world- an area well-known to author Frederic Monneyron through his forty works on the subject-yet committed to an ecological cause, underscores the possibility of redemption and active engagement against injustices, making Helter Skelter both entertaining and deeply thoughtful.

    In the picturesque New England town of Shady Creek, Vermont, fall is in full swing, and Sadie Coleman, owner of the literary-themed Inkwell pub, is serving up delicious food and drinks—with a side of sleuthing . . . 
     
     
     
    As the last leaves fall from the trees, the town is gearing up for a new festival: A Taste of Shady Creek. Pub proprietor Sadie Coleman is looking forward to visitors coming to sample her literary-themed cocktails. What if her mom doesn't like Sadie's adopted town—or her new boyfriend, Grayson Blake? 
     
     
     
    Those concerns are overshadowed when a food critic is found dead at Grayson's craft brewery. Curiouser and curiouser—the victim is linked to Grayson's past as a private investigator, and all the evidence points to him as the killer. While Grayson lays low, Sadie starts some investigating of her own. Was it a bad review that made the killer mad as a hatter? Or are there other motives at play? 
     
     
      
    In between serving Kiss of the Cider Woman cocktails and book-minded bites to festival goers, Sadie is striving to clear Grayson's name. But it'll take more than a dash of ingenuity to prevent the festival from fizzing out completely—and stop a killer from downing another innocent life

    Found with no identification, the police plaster the man’s face everywhere, along with the name of her bookshop, inundating Lou with negative press before she can even open. Worse, Lou was one of the last people to see him alive, and she didn’t even get his name. 
    Worried the mystery man’s family is left without the answers she so desperately needed in her husband’s death, Lou tries to help find the man’s identity. On closer inspection, she realizes her conversation with the mystery man was full of clues. Starting with a confusing book page he left behind, Lou follows the trail.  
    If she can solve this mystery, her bookstore might have a chance at being known for something more than murder.  
    Dear listener, if you love rescue cats, goats who wear pajamas, and a cozy bookstore, you’re going to love this new series by Eryn Scott. Hold on to your hats. The town of Button is as cute as they come, but that doesn’t mean it’s free of murder. These books are clean with no foul language or gore. Each book and mystery stands alone. Curl up under a cozy blanket, cuddle with a cat (or two), and come join Lou as she solves mysteries in the town of Button.

    Newly widowed, Victoria Blanc built an empire in Louisiana, transforming “The Magnolia” from a struggling plantation to one envied throughout the South. Her wealth and privilege protected her from scorn and ridicule. Victoria operated her southern empire proudly and in defiance of the social mores and norms men in Louisiana tried to impose upon her. 
    One night, her reign would come to an end in violence and bloodshed at the hands of her rivals, bothered by Victoria’s presence and desire for change. Her murder marked not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter in her legacy. For nearly a century and a half, she waited for the right moment to return. 
    Her heirs, inheriting the land, vowed to never live in the home out of respect for her death. “The Magnolia” remained closed to the public for decades before the family decided to open it up for tours with one requirement: no one stay in the home overnight. One tour, unfortunately, had no choice. Their driver missing, blinding rains, flash floods, and violent winds would force them to take refuge in the home. They are quickly brought face to face with the horrors and violence of “The Magnolia.”
