There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of an unpopular games mistress—shot through the heart point-blank. The school is thrown into chaos when the “cat” strikes again.

Korean-American adoptee Siobhan O'Brien has spent much of her life explaining her name and her family to strangers, but a more pressing problem is whether to carry on the PI agency that her dead boss unexpectedly left to her. Easing into middle age, Siobhan would generally rather have a glazed donut than a romance, but when an old friend asks Siobhan to find her daughter who has disappeared from her dorm, the rookie private detective's search begins at Llewellyn College. A women's institution of higher learning in upstate New York, Llewellyn, for the first time in its two-hundred-year history, has opened its doors to male students. Fringe group The Womyn of Llewellyn are furious, but their ex-fashion-model president declares they have little choice due to financial shortfalls. But if that's true, where did she get the money to build a brand new science center, and why is it under 24/7 surveillance by the town cops? As Siobhan delves deeper into the search for her friend's daughter, she encounters politely dangerous men in white turtlenecks, vegan cooking that might kill her, possibly deadly yoga poses, and a woman named Cleopatra who's got more issues than National Geographic. This first in a new series introduces an endearing P.I. heroine in the tradition of classic female detectives like Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone and Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski readerswon't be able to put down.Zum Buch
Less regal, more penal.Jenna Skye, the new Duchess of House Lilith, is losing her mind. After spending eight months holed up in the duke’s manor with her new sire, the slightly nutty and ever moody Ursula, all she wants to do is to get out of the house. She’ll take any excuse she can to ditch the princess’s etiquette lessons and do something worthwhile with her time—even if it means visiting a fancy blood finishing school where one of Dante’s potential scions has gone missing. Jenna’s sudden jealousy forces her to take a closer look at the conflicted feelings she has for Dante, and the guilt she still harbors over Roman Knight’s fateful farewell. Of course, a house full of new residents, preparations for the upcoming All Hallows’ Eve ball, and unsolved murders don’t leave much time for introspection.
