For this is something new, something lethal, perhaps something unstoppable; and it's not from round here...

  Poison in Paris

  When the British Government asks Harry Delamere to courier a secret document from Constantinople to Paris on the Orient Express, it seems such a simple way to cover a couple of months' rent and some outstanding bills; pleasant, even. But somebody knows a lot more than he does, nobody trusts him, and pretty much everybody's trying to kill him. 
  Poison in Paris: all the glamour of the Orient Express, melodrama, excitement, sinister foreign gentlemen, exotic foreign ladies, bandits, revolutionaries, assassins, other exotic foreign ladies, interruptions to the regular timetable, disguises, explosions, outrages, breath-taking escapes from death and an unfortunate incident in a Viennese lavatory. 
  Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen, following the highly-regarded entertainment of Death and the Dreadnought (the one with the burlesque dancer and the duck pâté sandwich, though not at the same time) it's another extract from the memoirs of Sir Henry Delamere, and another he could have well done without.

  Normally, the scent of cookies, scones, and waffle cones fills the air around Whispering Pines’ bake shop, but kitchen witches Sugar and Honey Graham have mysteriously lost their touch. Sugar’s pastries won’t bake properly, and Honey’s ice cream tastes awful.  
  Certain they’ve been cursed, the sisters turn to their coven’s high priestess, Reeva Long, for help.  
  Reeva, however, is busier than ever with her own shop this season. Add a crabby teenage tenant, a moody best friend, and a new boyfriend—er, manfriend?—and Reeva’s plate is not only full, it’s overflowing. How can she possibly squeeze in more? 
  But when a tourist is found dead and a villager is accused of murder, Reeva knows the village has bigger problems than icky ice cream. It’s time for Long & McLaughlin Private Investigators (aka Reeva and Ruby) to put their sleuthing skills into action and catch the real killer.

  With a career-ending injury, Olympic kickboxer Sheila Stone is forced back to her small hometown, where her older sister, the local Sheriff, offers her a spot on the police force. Sheila, struggling to face past demons, must draw on her fighting skills when a deadly serial killer surfaces, pitting her against an opponent unlike she's ever encountered….
  "A masterpiece of thriller and mystery."
  —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  This is Book #1 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestsellers have received over 20,000 five star reviews.
  With her Olympic dreams in tatters, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila's life and career start anew.
  As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
  This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she'll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer.
  Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
  A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
  Future books in the series are also available.
