    Welcome to Button, where everything’s perfect except for the occasional murder. 
    Louisa Henry has had the worst year. She never imagined she would be a widow before the age of forty. To cope with the sudden loss of her husband, Lou moves across the country to live near her best friend in a town as cute as a button. Even though it means quitting her fancy New York editor job, she now owns the bookstore of her dreams.  
    Well, almost. She definitely didn’t dream about a dead body showing up in her alley.  
    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.

    People are dying in the town of Sycamore. A string of grisly murders have shaken the quaint Canadian suburb, and the most recent crime scene might provide the first solid lead -- despite an easily fatal amount of blood, the victim is nowhere to be found. Most people would steer clear of a crime scene this gory, but to Private Investigator Felix Renn a missing persons investigation comes as a pleasant surprise. After a few run-ins with "Black Lands entities," Felix has developed an unwanted reputation as a monster hunter, and in a world where paranormal has become the norm, the opportunity to get back to simple human crime is almost refreshing. In Sycamore, though, Felix will find that darkness isn't so easy to escape.  
    A riveting blend of supernatural horror and crime fiction, SYCAMORE is the debut novel by Ian Rogers and the world-at-large's introduction to the Black Lands universe. Set in an alternate-history Earth where portals to a monster-filled parallel dimension began appearing around the turn of the 20th century, SYCAMORE sets the stage for a world of stories centering the things that emerge from our worst nightmares.
