Sinopsis

Police Chief Mark Friessen and his wife, social worker Billy Jo McCabe, keep a watchful eye on their small island town in the Pacific Northwest. As the couple comes to grips with the fact that a hub of crime run by the political elite has turned the quiet, sleepy Roche Harbor into a playground for the rich and powerful, a young executive of a major international charity moves to town. When Mark and Billy Jo dig deep into the secrets and lies that seem to follow the man, they uncover a twisted truth, one they may wish they had never found.


 
Newlyweds Mark Friessen and Billy Jo McCabe are back home in the town of Roche Harbor, settling into their life as a married couple while coming to grips with the evil that has woven its web in their small community. Police Chief Mark keeps a watchful eye on all the residents, learning who comes and goes on his island, so when a stranger buys a large property on the west side, Mark shows up on his doorstep to find out why he has moved in.


 
Walter Crandall tells him the island is home to his five-year-old daughter and his ex-wife, who owns a local bar, and all he wants is to keep a low profile and be left alone to make amends for his mistakes. But there’s something about the man that Mark doesn’t trust, and when he and Billy Jo begin digging into Walter’s past and the charity he was part of, they uncover a deception so twisted they’re convinced it can’t possibly be true.

    Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman is a bit old-fashioned, but he’s also willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits. 
     
    On a freezing November morning a man jogs down to the shore at a small Welsh beach. He strips off all his clothes and strides out into the icy water. 
     
    No one knows who he is. But locals say only a fool — or someone with a death wish — would go into the sea at this time of year. 
     
    With no body, Detective Norman’s young team are baffled. Who was this man? And why would he go into the water that day? 
     
    Then builders in town make a gruesome discovery. A skull is found in a shallow grave. 
     
    Llangwelli Police now have two unsolved deaths on their hands. And things only get stranger when it seems the two are connected . . . 
     
    It’s going to take all Detective Norman’s experience to whip his band of misfits into shape to crack the case. 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    The 1980s: a decade when thousands of children vanished—and most were never found. 
     
    When six-year-old Charlotte Mercer disappears from her front yard in Silver Spring, Maryland, rookie FBI Agent Daisy Adams is thrust into a case that feels more like a haunting. There are no witnesses. No clues. 
     
    Daisy has seen horror before—but nothing like this. As the investigation deepens, so does her fear. Because every missing child reminds her of her own daughter, Lila. And the more she digs into Charlotte's disappearance, the more she's forced to confront the question she's spent years avoiding: 
     
    What if one day, it's Lila who vanishes? 
     
    Inspired by real events, The First Thread is a chilling psychological thriller about the monsters hiding in plain sight—and the parents who live in fear of hearing the words: your child is missing.

    Will I be burned by the flames of Detective Dragon? 
     
     
     
    Hannah: The building I'm renovating to turn into a B&B in the cozy coastal town of Mystic Harbor, where humans and monsters live in harmony, is either haunted or someone's trying to sabotage me. 
     
     
     
    After someone rips up my flower beds for the third time, and the local law enforcement can't find any clues, I head to Monsters, PI, where I hire a much-too-gorgeous dragon shifter to determine if I'm a victim of crime or paranormal activity. After someone creeps through my building late at night, Reylor moves in with me to further his investigation. Now that I'm bumping into him in the kitchen and snuggling up with him on the sofa, is it my fault if I'm falling in love? 
     
     
     
    Reylor: I don't believe in ghosts, though I do believe that whoever's sabotaging Hannah's building renovations needs to be locked up for good. From the moment I meet Hannah, I know she's my fated mate. I'll do everything to protect her and solve this crime. If that means moving in with her and watching over her twenty-four-seven, then I'm the right dragon shifter for the job. 
     
     
     
    And when the case is closed? I'm going to make Hannah mine.

    🎃 The annual Harvest Fair in the small, agricultural town of Podunk is famous for one thing: its giant vegetable competition. This year, all eyes are on farmer Clem's colossal pumpkin, a surefire winner. But the festivities turn fatal when the notoriously petty and biased judge, Herb Crust, takes one bite of a complimentary pumpkin muffin and drops dead. The cause: a rare, fast-acting pesticide. The prime suspect is Clem's granddaughter, Maya, who baked the muffins and had a very public argument with Herb after he unfairly disqualified her sunflowers last year. To clear her name and save her family's farm from a scandal, Maya must dig into the dirt of the competitive growing world. With help from her pot-bellied pig, Gourd-on, and a disgraced botanist seeking redemption, she uncovers a fertilizer-fueled underbelly of the competition. From sabotaged seedlings and stolen growth formulas to blackmail and a decades-old grudge over a legendary, now-missing, prize-winning tomato, the roots of this crime run deep. Can Maya weed out the real killer before the fair closes and the culprit vines their way to freedom?
