Sinossi

An amateur sleuth investigates a case of books worth killing for in this classic English crime novel by the author of the Department Z series.

However, neither of them expected the arrival of Felicity’s American relatives to plunge them into an international drug smuggling conspiracy. 
 
Wealthy Uncle Zebediah is amassing an extensive library of antique books. Unfortunately, his latest acquisition has drawn attention from a group of criminals desperate enough to kill. But why? With the police proving useless, it’s up to Dawlish to deliver justice before his guests’ visit ends in murder . . .

    In a cathedral built for silence, the loudest sound is a shared breath. 
    Dr. Elara Vance doesn't seek company; she seeks data. Inheriting a remote, perfectly acoustic Cold War observatory in the searing desert is the crowning achievement of her career. Her goal is the Silence Project: mapping the micro-variations of human emotion within absolute quiet. But the steel dome she has claimed is harboring a ghost in its decommissioned architecture—one who doesn't just watch, but listens. 
    Julian Kade knows her rhythms. He has memorized the cadence of her sleep and the hesitation in her voice. He breached her sanctuary without a single touch, rerouting legacy audio channels to capture her most unguarded moments. When Elara discovers his hidden existence in the subterranean tunnels below, she doesn't flee. Instead, she flips the switch. Every microphone goes live. Every acoustic channel opens. What begins as a violation morphs into a meticulously orchestrated game of auditory cat-and-mouse. 
    Velvet Trespass is an intensely psychological, slow-burn romantic thriller about the lines between voyeurism and vulnerability, control and exposure. In a space where the slightest friction of fabric against skin sounds like a confession, Elara must decide whether the unseen man below her feet is a threat to be eradicated... or the exact variable she has been searching for her entire life.

    Enjoy this witty, paranormal cozy mystery by award-winning and bestselling author Lucinda Race. 
    Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
    In a small New England town, Lily Michaels is reveling in a tranquil day in her happy place—her bookstore. Contentment evaporates when two archeologists burst through the door on a mission. They're searching for books about amulets—precisely, the cursed Heart of the Soul, on display at the Olde Town Library in Pembroke Cove. Lily’s familiar, Milo, hops onto the counter and the conversation halts Milo’s tail mid-swish. After the out-of-towners leave with the same frenzy as they entered, Milo reveals a secret that could change the coven of the Michaels witches forever. 
    Later that night, Lily and her fiancé, Detective Gage Erikson, are enjoying a moonlit stroll on the beach. They stumble upon the lifeless body of Petra Addington, one of the archeologists from the bookstore, clutching the Heart of the Soul amulet. Questions tumble through Lily’s brain: How did Petra steal it, and why did she end up on the beach, dead? Could the reported curse from the Heart of the Soul have claimed a new victim? 
    With the clock ticking, Lily must uncover the amulet's secrets and protect those she loves. As she investigates the murder and Milo’s past, the very foundation of Lily's life may change forever. Will her determination and skill as a witch be strong enough to solve the murder before there are more victims—including her beloved familiar? 
    Artifacts and Amulets is the 8th novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as standalone. It is a sweet and clean, cozy mystery with a guarantee that the culprit is caught. Happy listening!

    One snowy night in 1998, Brooke Mulcahy's car slides off the road in rural Vermont. Her car is discovered. She is not. Twenty-one years later, Robert Kirby, Brooke's stepbrother, is paid a visit from a young woman (Lily), claiming to be Brooke's daughter. Since a tumultuous upbringing, Robert, formerly known as "Bobby," has enjoyed considerable success. Now an esteemed professor at a private Upstate New York university, Robert has just received a significant NEH grant. After Lily's visit, Robert's life is upended. 
     
     
     
    His wife Stephanie reveals she is unhappy in the marriage and takes their teenage son to visit her sister. Brooke's former best friend, Aaron Reardon, still devastated from Brooke's disappearance, offers to help. And forever lurking in the background is Mike Rakowski, Brooke's ex, a possessive, abusive drug addict. 
     
     
     
    As Robert's world unravels, he revisits that night twenty-one years ago where everything went wrong, unearthing a horrible, bone-chilling secret. In the vein of Simone St. James's Sun Down Motel, All Who Wander mines the depths of past transgression, begging the question: do past sin automatically negate future happiness?
