Synopsis

The detectives of Britain’s Department Z look into a murder at an exclusive club. 
 
Sir Basil Riordon is mysterious, frightening, and immensely wealthy. But is he also a killer? As head of England’s elite secret service, Department Z, Gordon Craigie has to find out, but it won’t be an easy investigation with so many important people involved. 
 
A member of an exclusive London club has been poisoned, and Riordon or his son, Marcus, may be involved. Craigie assigns his best agent, Devenish, to find the truth. But what Devenish finds isn’t a clear-cut case of homicide, but a mad masquerade of murder, larceny, and deceit of the highest order. And he and Craigie may be in over their heads . . .

    Members of the Greenhaugh and Hill families are staying at Lily's grandmother's bed and breakfast, and now they've gathered at Tea by the Sea to sip some delicious blends while they shower bride-to-be Hannah Hill with presents. But the last package Hannah unwraps contains a beheaded Raggedy Ann doll and triggers a bloodcurdling scream. A doll like this was the last gift from her father before he died long ago, and she's chilled to the bone. 
     
     
     
    Lily senses that the shocking anonymous gift just might be related to other tensions she's picking up on. The mothers-in-law have been sniping at each other—and then Lily, out walking her dog, overhears the groom's father, Ralph, offering his son a very sizable bribe to call off the wedding. She's relieved when Greg angrily turns him down, but with so many people steamed at each other, can this event possibly go smoothly? 
     
     
     
    The answer is no. It suddenly has to be postponed—when Ralph is found dead in his bed, a bottle of whiskey beside him. When tests indicate the booze was infused with a lethal substance, it becomes a murder case, and of course, accusations are flying wildly with the guests all too willing to believe the worst about each other. Now, to find out whether all this family drama led to a fatality, Lily will have to turn up the heat . . .

    Weddings are murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
     
     
     
    The cranberry bogs at Sassamanash Farms have never looked more festive than when Monica's half-brother celebrates his wedding there. It's a genuinely joyous occasion, and even greeting a strange assortment of guests and witnessing a heated argument can't spoil Monica's mood. But that all changes when one of the guests is found murdered at the reception—and then one of Monica's employees is accused of doing the deed to get his hands on the dead woman's money. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't take long for Monica to discover that the victim had amassed her fortune by marrying a very wealthy—and very ill—older man. What's more, the old man's daughters despised the scheming, gold-digging woman, and thought the inheritance money should have been theirs. That seems like motive enough for murder, but Monica suspects there's more to this case than simple greed. With her employee in hot water and time running out, Monica will have to act fast to catch the killer, before a case that started with a family wedding ends with her own funeral . . .
