  While the police dismiss the death as an accident, Gwinny suspects murder most foul and it is up to her, with Ace's on-the-ground knowledge, to make sure the killer faces the music.

  Fabric shop owner Polyester Monroe is back in business—this time getting wrapped up in a diabolical but crafty case of murder. 
   
   
   
  With the reopening of her fabric shop rapidly approaching, Polyester Monroe is stocking up on lush fabrics, colorful notions, and best of all, a proprietary weave of velvet. But upon delivery, it's not quite the blend she expected, being ninety-percent silk—and ten-percent corpse. Crushed under a dozen bolts of fabric is local business owner Phil Girard. His wife, Genevieve, local tea shop owner and close friend of Poly, is the prime suspect. 
   
   
   
  Granted, Phil may not have been the perfect husband, but surely Genevieve had no reason to kill him! There's just the small matter of Genevieve's own incriminating confession: I'm afraid I killed my husband. Now, as the grand opening looms, Poly is torn between a friendship pulling apart at the seams—and finding a smooth killer with a velvet touch . . .

  A serial killer is on the loose, going round strangling women with their own tights and removing their right shoes. Various suspects turn up but, with no obvious motive, the police are impotent and the murders continue. The only link they can find concerns a ‘religious’ meeting, regularly held at the local civic centre, which was attended by at least two of the victims. 
  Amateur detective Samantha Powers is dating Jack Parkinson who, it transpires, is seeing another woman behind her back. He comes under suspicion when that young woman becomes another victim of the strangler as it seems he was the last one to see her alive. 
  There are other suspects, including a vicious, depraved copper and a creepy vicar. As the story unravels, the real culprit remains hidden until almost the last page.

  London, 1968. A suburban London street. But this is no ordinary road.

  In number 17 live a bitter daughter and her mother, trapped with each other.
  Or are they?
  The twin brothers at number 3 think they're nothing like each other, but they may be proved wrong. Lesley disappeared from number 49 years ago. Then her body is found, and with it more secrets.

  With a delicious cast of characters, dazzling plotting, and a unique voice, Gay Marris' first book is the fresh and compelling new voice in the world of crime fiction you've been waiting for.

When her dear friend and traveling companion, Delphine Collins, goes missing, Lucy realizes she's in a unique position to help. She decides to apply to become a Pinkerton agent, offering her familiarity with the culture to help search for Delphine in Chinatown. 
  Jed Green isn't sure what he thinks about ladies joining the agency. From personal experience, Jed knows it's dangerous work, and he can't imagine putting a woman in such a tenuous situation. When he's asked to train a new female agent, he reluctantly agrees. But when he's asked to marry her for propriety's sake? That's another thing altogether – how utterly preposterous!  
  Before Jed and Lucy can concentrate on their case, they must discover if they can work together. However, resolving their surprising feelings for each other, so they can focus on their dangerous task, is another thing altogether.

  Emotions are a terrible thing for serial killers to have. 
  Britney Cage’s emotions are getting in the way—of her friendships, of her relationship with the sexy cop she’s dating, of her plans to track and kill her next victim. 
  Florida’s most dangerous serial killer might have outsmarted the authorities for years, but she can’t escape the nagging desire to live something more closely resembling a normal life. 
  Unfortunately, that life will never come unless she can confess the truth of who she really is to those closest to her. Not much chance of that, though, with the police officer who’s steadily working his way into her heart. He’d either arrest her or shoot her on the spot if he ever found out. 
  Worse yet, it’s getting harder to tamp down her urge to kill. And that tug of war between her lust for blood and her need to come clean about it is threatening to tear her apart and land her on death row before she can figure out her next step. 
  In her fourth installment of the popular 13 Reasons for Murder series, author Amanda Byrd again draws back the veil on the dark inner turmoil driving the most lethal serial killer in Florida history.
