  The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes is the final set of twelve (out of a total of fifty-six) Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927.
  The first British edition and the first American edition of the collection were both published in June 1927. However, they had slightly different titles. The title of the British collection was The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (hyphenated "Case-Book"), whereas the title of the American edition was The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes ("Case Book" as two words). Further confusing the issue of the title, some later publishers released the collection under the title The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes ("Casebook" as a single word).

  Gilley's whirlwind romance with creative director Stuart Jacobs began in Paris, where Stuart was sourcing fabric for the world-renowned Texas Rose Festival, which he is heading up for the first time. The festival is nothing short of spectacular, bringing in half a million people (and their wallets) to see the artistic displays, and exquisite gowns and jewels worn by the Rose Queen and her court. Stuart and his crew seem to have it all under control. But the night Cat arrives in Texas, someone is shot in cold blood, and a member of Stuart's staff is named the prime suspect! 
   
   
   
  The Rose Festival is too important to the city's economy to cancel, so while Stuart scrambles to prevent the festival from derailing, Cat and Gilley launch their own investigation into the murder. With a parade of potential suspects to parse, and an even longer list of motives, they bring in East Hampton Police Detective Steve Shepherd to help. As rumors of arson, burglary, and professional sabotage swirl around the already fraught festival planning, Cat and her team immerse themselves in the cutthroat pageantry to identify the killer, who has already picked their next victim . . .

  The propulsive new John Adderley case and follow-up to the award-winning, international bestselling Scandi noir thriller The Bucket List 
   
  Alicia Bjelke has always been “the other sister.” She is the coding genius behind a wildly successful dating app she started with her sister, Stella, but because Alicia’s face is disfigured, she’s created a life in the background while beautiful Stella is  
  the face of the company. When Stella is found dead, Alicia’s life changes utterly as she becomes the focus of the investigation. 
   
  The case is assigned to former FBI agent John Adderley, living in Sweden in witness protection and battling demons from his past life. As John investigates the case, he learns that Alicia and Stella have always had a difficult relationship. The  
  deeper John delves into the sisters’ past, the clearer it becomes that Stella’s murder may be just one piece in the puzzle of a larger crime. As John follows the trail, the old life he thought he left behind in the States begins to catch up with him. 
   
  With a deft mix of masterful suspense and psychological depth, authors Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström deliver a heart-pounding new entry to the John Adderley series. As with The Bucket List, Mohlin & Nyström’s award-winning  
  debut, The Other Sister is an ambitious Scandinavian crime thriller that is compelling, richly textured, and gripping from start to finish.

  After an on-air gaffe goes viral and jeopardizes her career, journalist Desiree Turner retreats home to Verbena, California for some peace and quiet. She begins working one of the quietest jobs around: presiding over funerals for her great-grandfather’s funeral parlor. But the action seems to follow her as a fistfight breaks out between neighbors Rosemarie Brewer and Lola Hansen at one of the first funerals she’s in charge of running. It exposes a nasty dispute and Rosemarie’s husband, Alan, is found murdered shortly after. Lola’s husband, Kyle, is immediately arrested. Desiree, whose own father’s death was devastating, has always viewed Kyle as a second father. Determined to clear his name, Desiree jumps head first into the investigation and quickly discovers that Alan had several unsavory habits at his job and in his personal life, including putting assets into his mistress’s account to hide them from Rosemarie. People murder for money and love all the time, and there’s no telling who he offended just enough to push them over the edge. Desiree is looking in all the right places, but she better catch the killer fast before they come for her next in A Grave Issue, the clever series debut by Lillian Bell.
