  After deciding to trade L. A.'s chaos for sweet small-town life, Abby Hirsch is finally making Sugar Creek home—starting with moving in with her best friend Cassie and launching her new catering business. But before she can even unpack, the town's beloved Peach Festival turns deadly when a city councilman drops dead from poisoning. 
   
   
   
  To make matters worse, all signs point to Abby as the prime suspect. Not only was she one of the last people to serve him, but he'd just denied her business license, giving her the perfect motive. Now, with her dreams crumbling like a peach cobbler and the town buzzing with gossip, Abby has no choice but to investigate. 
   
   
   
  At least she's not alone—she has Cassie, her too-cute rescue dog, and . . . the maddeningly handsome Sheriff Ryan Iverson, who keeps showing up at the wrong time (or is it the right time?). Ryan says he's just doing his job, but the more he warns Abby to stay out of the case, the more she can't ignore the spark between them. 
   
   
   
  As the festival heats up and the suspect list grows, Abby will have to unravel the truth before her fresh start is ruined—or worse, before she's next on the menu.

Boudreaux makes the most of his concept, populating his page-turning plot with plausible characters and developments.” —Publishers Weekly“Readers who like a story in which someone is shoved headlong into a very different life, à la Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, are the audience for this fast-moving thriller.” —Henrietta Verma, firstCLUE“Boudreaux weaves a daunting story of treachery and puppeteering in this finely crafted race for survival.” —Best Thriller Books

  The Mysterious Mansion by Honoré de Balzac is a gothic mystery set in the quiet French town of Vendôme, where a crumbling manor known as La Grande Bretêche hides a chilling secret. Told through the eyes of a curious traveler and an enigmatic innkeeper, the story slowly unravels a tale of betrayal, confinement, and a deadly silence that has haunted the abandoned estate for over a decade. When whispers of a Spanish nobleman, a secret affair, and a wall hastily constructed in the dead of night come to light, the house’s locked doors begin to echo with ghostly revelations. Balzac’s tale is as much a psychological drama as it is a ghost story, blending romance, suspense, and moral reckoning in classic 19th-century fashion. 
   Perfect for fans of Edgar Allan Poe, Daphne du Maurier, and Charlotte Brontë.
