  An offensive bookseller, a pair of priceless pigs . . . and a dead body just beyond the pen.Sue Jaworski is gearing up for a busy Thanksgiving season—her garden shop needs stocking, her daughter's visit is just days away, and her granddaughter Jessica is about to welcome a baby. So when Alan suggests taking on a new case for the SAJ Detective Agency, she is less than enthusiastic.The job? Figuring out who keeps releasing two treasured pigs from their pen on a rural property outside of town. Not exactly a gripping mystery . . . until a body turns up in the woods beyond the fence.The victim is the abrasive new bookstore owner in Aspen Notch—a man Sue had recently met and instantly disliked. When a decades-old feud surfaces between the bookstore owner and their pig-loving client, Alan joins the county police to investigate the murder. Meanwhile, Sue digs deeper into the oddly specific instructions they were given about protecting the pigs.The more she learns, the more she suspects the pigs may hold the key to more than one mystery, and that someone in Aspen Notch is willing to kill to keep certain secrets buried.The tenth book in the Aspen Notch Mystery series, Two Pigs and a Corpse is a wholesome cozy mystery filled with endearing characters and a satisfying whodunnit at its heart. If you enjoy Betty Rowlands, Murder, She Wrote, or the classic charm of Nancy Drew, you'll feel right at home in Aspen Notch.

  Some secrets keep a couple together. 
   
   
   
  If you ask Jill Tingley, she'll tell you she and her husband Jack are college sweethearts living the dream in Southern California. Wealthy, popular and genetically blessed, theirs is an enviable life, though they've grown distant in recent years. Newly empty nesting with their daughter Maggie away at college, Jill suggests a road trip to reconnect. 
   
   
   
  Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife. He's only stayed in this marriage because of a shared secret, a tragedy in the past he wanted to keep buried. And for his daughter's sake. But Jack is finished with the charade of his marriage. He's filing for divorce as soon as they return, no matter what. 
   
   
   
  But he doesn't realize what else Jill is hiding. 
   
   
   
  So begins a cat-and-mouse road trip as a cunning wife—think Ripley in yoga pants—and a reluctant husband match wits and drive each other to the edge. But everything will be fine. Jill still loves Jack and believes he's the only one for her. She’ll do anything to keep him. Anything. She always has.

  For fans of Janet Evanovich, Sandra Brown, and C.J. Box — a romantic mystery set against the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, where the wilderness is as dangerous as the people. 
  Maggie Killian used to be somebody. Grammy-winning country star. Multiplatinum album. Country number one hit 'I Hate Cowboys.' Then came the crash, and the long rebuild, and the antique shop in Texas that keeps her mostly out of trouble. Mostly. 
  She drives to Wyoming in a vintage magenta pickup because she still has Hank Sibley's championship belt buckle — the one she stole when she left him fifteen years ago. She figures she'll surprise him at a bar in Buffalo, they'll talk, and she'll finally give the buckle back. He's already there with a girlfriend. Maggie orders a drink and reevaluates. 
  When a young cowboy she spent one night with is found bludgeoned to death in a hotel parking lot, the Buffalo PD makes Maggie their leading suspect. Then her truck is sabotaged to keep her on Hank's ranch, someone breaks into her cabin twice, and Hank is shot off his horse on a mountain hunt. She realizes this is no longer a story about a failed reconciliation. It's the story of a stalker who has been watching her for years, and who has crossed a line she cannot walk back from. 
  Pamela Fagan Hutchins lives on the face of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming, and every page of Live Wire proves it. Begin the series with The Maggie Killian Prequels: Buckle Bunny and Shock Jock to understand Maggie's origin story — or start here. Either way, Wyoming will get under your skin. 
  She came to Wyoming to give back what she stole. Someone came to Wyoming to make sure she didn't leave. 
  Buy Live Wire to get your next fix of this addictive mystery series today! 
  The Maggie Killian Series is Part 3 of Hutchins' What Doesn't Kill You Super Series.

  Tiger Lily Of Bangkok In London...

  The Tiger is on the Prowl Again! 
  After the devastating effect her rampage had on her own life and the citizens of Bangkok in her early days as a medical student there, Lily`s life quietened, and she settled down to her studies. After two years, she won a scholarship to work in Great Ormond Street Children`s Hospital in London and moved there without Ron, who continued his education in Bangkok. 
  `Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London` picks up her story in her second of two years as a student doctor at the hospital. She loves her job there, and gets on well with the staff and children patients alike, but she has no friends outside work. 
  On one of her days off, she reads an article in the Sunday Times about organised paedophile rings in London involving the very establishment of the country itself and it incenses her. 
  She can either ignore it or get involved. 
  Her first reaction is to avoid re-arousing the Demon that had possessed her in Bangkok only a couple of years earlier, but when she meets fellow victims of child abuse, the die seems cast. 
  This story is not for the squeamish, but does not describe acts of child abuse. It does, however, make frequent references to notorious scenes of child abuse, especially the infamous `Meat Rack` on Piccadilly Circus in central London. 
  Many of the issues raised are still under police enquiry at the time of writing, although few people expect anything to come from them. 
  Shame on our so-called leaders, who would rather protect the powerful abusers than the powerless abused!

  “Wicked and irresistible….Elmore Leonard is a literary genius.” —New York Times Book Review 
  Before U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens began electrifying TV viewers across America (in the hit series Justified), he “starred” in Elmore Leonard’s Riding the Rap—an explosive, twisty tale of a brazen Florida kidnap caper gone outrageously wrong. Chock full of wildly eccentric and deliciously criminal characters—including a psycho enforcer with a green thumb, a Bahamian bad man, and the beautiful, unabashedly greedy psychic Reverend Dawn—Riding the Rap dazzles with Leonard’s trademark ingenious plot turns and razor-keen dialogue. Gripping, surprising, and unforgettable, it is a crime fiction gem that any thriller writer—from past masters John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain to the bestselling mystery auteurs of today—would be thrilled to call his own.

  As the weather cools down, business heats up at Deputy Donut Café for owner Emily Westhill. But is a stubborn tabby cat, a mysterious new employee, and a murder case with a baker’s dozen worth of suspects too much to manage? 
  With mouthwatering treats selling fast in October, Emily is delighted to welcome her assistant’s younger sister, Hannah, to help at the donut shop while taking a semester off from college. But Hannah’s talent for dishing powdered pastries without dropping a crumb attracts some unusual customers, as two admirers with opposite personalities begin to show up during her shifts—much to her older sister’s disappointment . . . 
  Real trouble comes after hours in the dark forest surrounding Emily’s lakeside house. Emily follows a trail of her freshly-made beignets—just like those purchased by the two admirers—to a dead body. And while the victim may have burned a few bridges, there’s no way to sugarcoat the discovery of Hannah’s hairclip at the crime scene. Now, as suspicions fall on her own employee and unsavory rumors swirl around town, it will take far more than a sprinkle of good luck for Emily to learn the truth and expose a killer with a very deadly craving . . .
