Synopsis

When a serial killer stalks a sleepy English village, a Scotland Yard detective must search for clues among terrified townsfolk in this classic mystery. 
 
Samuel Bracknell is found dead in his home with a knife in his back. It’s the third murder of its kind in as many weeks, and the residents of Carleton Unthank are left shaken. When Superintendent Littlejohn learns that all three crimes were committed with the same knife, a disturbing question arises: why, then, was the knife left in Bracknell’s body? 
 
When a fourth body turns up, this one an apparent suicide, Littlejohn is baffled. This once quaint village is gaining a ghoulish reputation. As the threat of murder looms each time the sun sets, Littlejohn must face sleep-deprived residents, no clues, and a race against the clock to prevent the body count from rising any further.

    Mia Carina has steered her Italian-American family's Astoria, Queens, catering hall into becoming the borough's premiere party site, and nothing could make her happier—except her boyfriend proposing. There's just one presumed-dead obstacle in the way. 
     
     
     
    A strong, independent woman and respected entrepreneur, Mia never imagined she'd pine for a marriage proposal. Yet lately, with her beloved Shane, she's on tenterhooks. It's especially surprising, considering Mia's first husband, Adam, was a philandering grifter, assumed lost-at-sea after a boating disaster. But everyone knows what happens when you assume. 
     
     
      
    While working a huge wedding expo in Manhattan, Mia is shocked to spot the man who nearly destroyed her life. The one who's supposed to be sleeping with the fishes. But she loses him in the crowd. And when it happens again the next day, it's time for an emergency meeting with the family—and the Family. Because if Adam is alive, Mia is still married. 
     
     
      
    Everyone wants Adam dead. Everyone except Mia. She's dealt with enough police for a lifetime. Mia needs to be a divorcée, not a widow. But someone out there disagrees, and if Mia doesn't discover who, she may never be free to marry Shane.

    🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Vatson is hosting a natural dye workshop when the workshop's wealthy sponsor—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature madder root dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's business contracts contain hidden clauses about color patent theft. With her studio shut down and the dyeing community in turmoil, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful conspiracy. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome forensic chemist analyzing pH levels, Indy uncovers a scheme involving dye formula theft, color patent infringement, and a plot to sabotage natural dyers. From suspicious colorfastness tests that reveal chemical tampering to plant material that doesn't match the growing region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more vibrant than any synthetic color. With the natural dye symposium approaching and the real color thief still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the evidence before her own business bleeds out completely.
