  🧈 Daisy Crumbwell's tearoom, "The Buttered Scone," is famous throughout Cornwall for its light-as-air scones and clotted cream. But when a rival baker drops dead after eating one of her signature lavender scones during the annual Great British Bake-Off, Daisy's perfect world crumbles. Accused of using poisoned ingredients, Daisy must prove her innocence while the police focus their investigation entirely on her kitchen. With her business on the line and her reputation in tatters, Daisy teams up with her elderly baking mentor and a handsome food safety inspector to uncover the truth. The investigation reveals a web of recipe theft, ingredient sabotage, and decades-old rivalries that run deeper than her famous triple-chocolate scones. But as Daisy gets closer to unmasking the real killer, she discovers someone is willing to remove the competition permanently—and she might be the next baker to meet a sticky end.

  “Simon Tolkien’s grandfather is J. R. R., but his new novel” –a historical locked room mystery—“owes more to Agatha Christie—and Dan Brown.” (New York Times).   When a famed Oxford historian is found dead in his study one night, all evidence points to his son, Stephen. About to be disinherited from the family fortune, Stephen returns to home after a long estrangement—and it happens to be the night his father is shot to death. When his fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, Stephen's guilt seems undeniable. But there were five other people in the manor house at the time, and as their stories slowly emerge—along with the revelation that the deceased man was involved in a deadly hunt for a priceless relic in Northern France at the end of World War II—the race is on to save Stephen from a death sentence.   Everyone has a motive, and no one is telling the truth.   Unwilling to sit by and watch the biased judge condemn Stephen to death, an aging police inspector decides to travel from England to France to find out what really happened in that small French village in 1945—and what artifact could be so valuable it would be worth killing for.   “Absolutely compelling.” —Booklist, starred review   “A thinking person’s Da Vinci Code.” —Chicago Tribune   “A deft combination of Agatha Christie manor-house whodunit, Erle Stanley Gardner courtroom drama and Dan Brown thriller. Tolkien . . . proves himself worthy—and then some—of his literary pedigree.”  —Richmond Times Dispatch

  "The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. 
   
  Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. 
   
  The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world’s stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held. 
   
  The Hives’ façade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that façade is slipping away. 
   
  Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone?Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints?scrambles to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war. 
   
  Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

  Jill Gardner—or as she's now known, Jill King—is working to provide gifts for needy kids this Christmas. But someone's about to puncture the holiday spirit . . . Jill’s store, Coffee, Books, and More, is co-sponsoring a charity dart tournament on Thanksgiving weekend with Chip's Bar, where toys and cash will be collected. She and her new husband, Greg, will be competing as well—that is, if Greg's brother and his girlfriend don't ruin the evening. But the event leads to something much worse than a family squabble when the bar owner is found dead the next morning after being used as a human dartboard . . . Jill and her police-detective hubby both aim to find the killer—but scoring a bullseye will be hard since the place was packed with a rowdy crowd of locals and a platoon of stuffed-animal-toting, very competitive motorcyclists. And with the night's big haul of cash donations left untouched, what could possibly be the motive for this murder?
