Beschreibung

A stolen necklace has British detective Patrick Dawlish running in circles to find the culprit in this classic Golden Age mystery.   A famous jewel thief has struck again, stealing a fortune of gems from Lord Hillmorton and kidnapping his daughter to ensure his silence. But there’s one man to call when there are no other options: Patrick Dawlish.   Hot in pursuit, Dawlish, his wife, and Cedric Forbes find themselves caught between a notorious gang of thieves and a quirky family who may or may not have their own part to play in the crime. As a strand of valuable pearls changes hands, it’s up to Dawlish to orchestrate a plan to root out the fakes from the genuine article—and bring the innocent home alive . . .

    New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis returns with a delicious new Domestic Diva Mystery set in Alexandria, Virginia's charming Old Town neighborhood, and featuring entertaining guru Sophie Winston. 
     
     
     
    In Old Town Alexandria's unlikeliest match, Natasha Smith's free-spirited mother, Wanda, is engaged to notoriously pompous antiques dealer, Orson Chatsworth—leaving Natasha to plan the entire wedding, beginning with an elaborate engagement party. For the extravagant affair, Natasha splurges on trendy food boards created by rising social media star, Stella St. James. The sumptuous boards go way beyond basic cheese and crackers, as Stella dazzles guests with picture-worthy butter boards, dessert boards, and even doughnut boards. Just as Natasha planned, the food is to die for—until someone actually does. 
     
     
     
    When the groom collapses, it seems as if a heart attack is to blame. Then guests discover Orson was poisoned, and suddenly Stella's bespoke boards look a lot less appealing. But with an event this big, the spread of suspects is sure to be impressive. Could Orson's killer be a jilted ex-lover? A money hungry relative? A bitter former business partner? When even Sophie is not above suspicion, she knows it's time to get on board and scrape together an investigation of her own . . . before murder becomes the town's next trend.

    In Agatha Award-winner Maddie Day's delightfully spooky Cozy Capers Book Group mystery, it's Halloween, and Cape Cod bike shop owner Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida and her book club must unmask a killer . . . 
     
     
     
    Just in time for Halloween, a new costume shop has opened on Main Street in Westham, Massachusetts. Cape Costumers is a cut above the usual seasonal pop-up stores with their flimsy mass-produced outfits and cheap plastic masks, mostly due to co-owner Shelly, a former Broadway costume designer. But when Shelly discovers her elderly boyfriend Enzo—a Broadway star who retired to Westham—dead of unnatural causes, Halloween suddenly gets a lot scarier. 
     
     
     
    Sleuthing, Mac has found, is a lot like riding a bicycle: once you learn how, you never forget. Far from being spooked, Mac and the members of the Cozy Capers Book Group put down their weekly book selection and put their heads together to see past a bag of tricks and find a malice-making murderer who's hiding in plain sight . . .

    What happens in Vegas, slays in Vegas.  
    With a show to produce and my career as an actress on the line, I really don’t have time to die—especially violently. However, while that might not be on my agenda, it seems to be on other’s. 
    Awesome.  
    Instead of acting in my latest endeavor, I’m playing the real-life role of Reluctant Demon Who Has To Save The World—or at the very least, the hot hero.  
    Fine. I’m always up for a plot twist or a re-write.  
    Scene One—Save Abaddon from the evil clutches of the hideous Pandora.Scene Two—Don’t die.Scene Three—Avoid Pandora like the plague. I understand she has an evil box …Scene Four—Do not die.Scene Five—Possibly meet my mom, the woman who abandoned me as a baby.Scene Six—Do Not Freaking Die.Scene Seven—Go back to my non-deadly life and win a damn Emmy for Ass The World Turns. 
    Even though I’m living on the edge of evil, half insanity, half upheaval, I’m a pro and the show must go on. 
    As the saying goes, a bad dress rehearsal means I don’t get dismembered on opening night. Or something like that. 
    It’s showtime, folks.
