    “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
      
    Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid. 
      
    Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends offline—none, really, unless you count the Thackery family—Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to … a dead buddy. 
      
    Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.

    Life in a Supermarket Basket is a darkly comic, emotionally charged story about a man who dies on the parking lot asphalt of his favorite grocery store and is given one bewildering chance to make sense of the life he squandered. As he is led through the afterlife by an impatient spirit guide, with each memory triggered by one of his supermarket items, he’s forced to confront the truths he buried, and the strange, unexpected mercy that might still be waiting for him. 
    Blending absurdity with genuine emotion, the story unfolds in supermarket purgatory where humor and heartbreak sit side by side. Characters from his past and present collide in scenes that are sharp, surreal, and unexpectedly tender, revealing the fragility of a life built on avoidance, longing, and small acts of grace. 
    Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “a gleefully cynical riff on life, death, and second chances,” and named a finalist in the 2023 American Fiction Awards, Life in a Supermarket Basket explores what it means to be seen, forgiven, and possibly redeemed—even in the unlikeliest of aisles.

    They know what Declan did to the real Red Reaper a year earlier. Something only Declan and the closest members of his team keep secret. 
     
    Is this the real Reaper, back to gain revenge on Declan and his family - or is this a protégé, staking his own claim to the serial killer name? And can Declan stop this new run of murders before the unit's secret is found out, and his own daughter is added to the list - with the unlikeliest of allies by his side? 
     
    The eighteenth audiobook in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of procedural crime thrillers featuring recently-promoted DCI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon, Harvest For The Reaper is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J M Dalgliesh and Ann Cleeves, among others.
