  After deciding to trade L. A.'s chaos for sweet small-town life, Abby Hirsch is finally making Sugar Creek home—starting with moving in with her best friend Cassie and launching her new catering business. But before she can even unpack, the town's beloved Peach Festival turns deadly when a city councilman drops dead from poisoning. 
   
   
   
  To make matters worse, all signs point to Abby as the prime suspect. Not only was she one of the last people to serve him, but he'd just denied her business license, giving her the perfect motive. Now, with her dreams crumbling like a peach cobbler and the town buzzing with gossip, Abby has no choice but to investigate. 
   
   
   
  At least she's not alone—she has Cassie, her too-cute rescue dog, and . . . the maddeningly handsome Sheriff Ryan Iverson, who keeps showing up at the wrong time (or is it the right time?). Ryan says he's just doing his job, but the more he warns Abby to stay out of the case, the more she can't ignore the spark between them. 
   
   
   
  As the festival heats up and the suspect list grows, Abby will have to unravel the truth before her fresh start is ruined—or worse, before she's next on the menu.

  The Celestial Slingers - A...

  Móric Jókay de Ásva was born on the 18th February 1825 in Komárom, then in the Kingdom of Hungary but now part of Slovakia.  
   
  Due to his timid and delicate constitution he was educated at home until the age of 10 and then sent away to complete his studies at the Calvinist college at Pápa. 
   
  At 12 his father died, and he was pushed to honour him by replicating his career as a lawyer.  He studied hard and completed the curriculum at Kecskemét and Pest.  He won his first case as a newly graduated lawyer. 
   
  But he found a career in law to be dull and, encouraged by the positive reaction to his first play, he moved to Pest in 1845.  There he published, first in a newspaper, and then as a novel ‘Hétköznapok’ (‘Working Days’).  It was acclaimed as a masterpiece.  To add to his promise he was appointed as the editor of Életképek, the leading Hungarian journal. 
   
  In 1848 he married the actress, Róza Laborfalvi.  That same year Europe was awash with revolutions and Jókai, a moderate Liberal, enthusiastically supported the nationalist cause and its decision to depose the Habsburg dynasty.  The attempt failed. 
   
  He was now classed as a political suspect and threw himself into his literary career, writing dozens of novels, many of them masterpieces, stories, essays and the like.  In total he wrote several hundred volumes, many of them in the local Magyar language which helped arrest its declining relevance in society.  
   
  By 1867 the political temperature had cooled, and he entered parliament as well as becoming the editor a government journal he had founded.   His skills were much admired and helped the government navigate through several difficult matters.   
   
  His wife died in 1886 but although grief-stricken he continued to work and to write.  
   
  In 1897 the king appointed him a member of the upper house.  Two years later he caused a minor scandal by marrying the young 20-year-old actress, Bella Nagy.  At the time he was 74. 
   
  Mór Jókai died in Budapest on the 5th May 1904.  He was 79.

  "In this business, nothing is as good as dead …" 
    
  The business in question is the high-end art world, and everyone in this darkly comedic mystery wants a piece of it. 
    
  When painter Augie Silver is lost at sea in a sailing accident, his many friends among Key West's artists, writers, and hangers-on mourn—until, that is, they realize that Augie's death has sent the prices for his pictures skyrocketing. What at first seemed a tragedy turns out to be a windfall—until, that is, Augie, rescued at sea, limps back to town alive. Not everyone is thrilled by the artist's resurrection. Someone, in fact, is upset enough to start trying to bump off Augie for real. 
    
  Full of steamy Key West atmosphere and sometimes brutal insights into the wacky world of creative types, SCAVENGER REEF is both a taut whodunit and a wise meditation on loyalty real or faked, friendships sincere or toxic.
