Who would kidnap a developmentally disabled teen and his adult sitter? A random grab? A sex crime? Zaag falls hard for Andrea, the boy’s single mom, 30, so damaged by her parents’ rejection. Running out of other angles, he reaches into the murky depths of Andrea’s past and uncovers a thicket of possible suspects and motives. When the truth finally emerges, it’s so toxic he fears simple justice will destroy this woman he loves. But who says justice has to be simple?

MacLean, a best-selling author known for his action-packed thrillers, does not disappoint with Breakheart Pass. The suspense woven into the story is a testament to his skill in the genre of westerns.

V.M. Burns

Mystery bookstore owner Samantha Washington is about to find out it's not so easy to play Monday morning quarterback when it comes to murder… 
  
To the town of North Harbor, Michigan, MISU quarterback Dawson Alexander is a local hero. To Samantha Washington, owner of the Market Street Mysteries Bookstore, Dawson is more than a tenant—he’s like an adopted son. But to the police, he is their prime suspect after his ex-girlfriend is found murdered. It’s more than enough real-life drama for Sam to tackle, but her role as a mystery writer also calls. Returning to the English countryside between the wars, she finds Lady Daphne Marsh in quite the quandary. Someone has tried to murder the scandalous American divorcée Wallis Simpson, for whom Edward VIII so recently abdicated his throne. It seems finding a suspect is no small challenge when most of England has a motive… 
  
While Sam’s lawyer sister Jenna rushes in to build Dawson's defense, Sam and her lively grandmother, Nana Jo, huddle up to solve the mystery and blow the whistle on the real killer. With the tenacious members of the Sleuthing Senior Book Club eager to come off the sidelines, Sam and her team just might stop a killer from completing another deadly play…

With the chaos of the festival and the already short-staffed local police focused elsewhere, a body is found on a trail in the park nearby. The park is closed off, so it only makes sense that the deceased came from the festival, and also his murderer. 
Little did Clementine know, that instead of cold brew, she’d be brewing up a case of a cold-blooded murderer. 
In Cold Brewed is the second book of six in The Roastwood Hollow Cozy Mystery series. If you love amateur sleuths, animal companions, small town drama, and aaaall the cozy vibes, then you will love In Cold Brewed.
