Snow River

Jennifer Bernard

Sinopse

In Firelight Ridge, Lila Romanoff's unusual intuitive abilities have stayed (mostly) silent -- until now. When she starts having dream conversations with a murdered local, it’s time to skedaddle. But she only gets as far as the overlook on Snow River before she can’t go any farther, and it’s not just because she runs out of gas (don’t ask). Her gut literally won’t let her leave. Maybe it’s her feelings for her huge hunk of a boss at the local bar. Or maybe it’s the mystery about to unfold around the dead woman on the banks of the river below…
 
Bear Davis always knew his employee would flit out of town sooner or later. Lila is sunshine itself, and with winter fast approaching, he’s not surprised she’s ready to take her light elsewhere…but he’s also not about to object when she abruptly decides to stay. And when she starts digging into the recent murder on Snow River? Well, as an ex-cop (don’t ask), there’s no one better suited to make sure she stays safe while they nose around.
 
When the recent death appears connected to a decades-old murder spree that involved Lila’s dream visitor, everything seems to point back to Snow River. As Bear and Lila follow clues that include local lore, old gossip, and even mysterious pranks, the couple gets closer and closer. Both to each other…and to an explosive truth someone will do anything to keep hidden deep in the wilds of Alaska.

A Lethal Walk in Lakeland

Nicholas George

Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder …

Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky.

The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying.

Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
