Sinopsis

In the fifth novel of Malcolm Archibald's 19th century detective novels, Sergeant Watters finds himself overwhelmed with three simultaneous cases.
 
With a case of poisoning, a series of child kidnappings and somebody with a seeming dislike to clocks and watches, Watters and his team are stretched thin. Things become even more complicated when a circus comes to Dundee, and Watters has to help raid an illegal gambling den.
 
Fortunately, Dr. Beaton is there to help. But who is the mysterious man who crosses his path in Dundee, and why would anyone wish to kidnap boys from impoverished backgrounds? Find out in 'Not A Pukka Gentleman', a riveting historical mystery set in 19th century Dundee, Scotland.

    "WANTED: Companion for sick wife. 
     
     
     
    Landing a job caring for the unresponsive wife of celebrity podcaster Colin Harrington could be the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. I get a place to live, a paycheck, and a way to salvage my comatose career. It's my last chance to finally prove the doubters wrong. I have to make it work. 
     
     
     
    All I need to do is survive a few months in the eerie, high-tech halls of the Harrington's mansion. But caring for Colin's wife Kara is testing the limits of my sanity. Doors seem to open and close on their own, shadows shift in the corners of my vision, and I can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched. 
     
     
     
    I wouldn't mind if it was Colin watching. He's been through hell, and it has been years since his wife's accident. Maybe it's time he moved on—and maybe I'm the only one who can help him. 
     
     
     
    Then I find a cassette tape that reveals a shocking truth . . . 
     
     
     
    Someone in the house has a dark secret—one they'll do anything to protect. But they're not the only ones with something to hide. 
     
     
     
    I have a secret of my own.

    A clinical psychologist is thrown into her dark past as she races to uncover the truth about her mother's death while struggling with her own mental health. 
     
     
     
    Can we ever truly know the people we love? 
     
     
     
    Losing her mother to a hit-and-run at age fifteen threw Beatrice "Beans" Bennett's life into turmoil. Bereft, she developed a life-threatening eating disorder, and went through a challenging recovery process which paved the way for her work as a clinical psychologist decades later. 
     
     
     
    When a new patient arrives at her office and insists that Beans's mother is still alive—and in danger—Beans is forced to revisit her past in order to uncover the truth. She learns the "patient" is a member of a notorious family that owns a drug company largely responsible for the national opioid epidemic, and that her mother was once tangled in their web. In a race against time—and her mother's assailants—while once again facing the disorder she thought she'd put behind her, Beans discovers that, like herself, her mother had a devastating secret. 
     
     
     
    With its fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat action and intimate look at mental health, Since She's Been Gone will keep listeners in its grasp long after the final chapter.

    A bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it. 
    Running a private investigation business in the seaside town of Firefly Bay should be a pretty easy job. One where I call the shots—figuratively speaking because to put clumsy little ole me in charge of a firearm is just asking for trouble. After a hectic few months, all I’m after is an easy day, where my cases add up to nothing more strenuous than deciding if tonight’s takeout is pizza or tacos (or both). 
    Should have known my day was going to go to hell in a handbasket when someone switched out my coffee for decaf (seriously, who does that?) and my main squeeze, Captain Cowboy Hot Pants, aka Detective Kade Galloway’s ex-girlfriend and internal affairs investigator, Savannah Mcintosh, turns up to work a case. 
    Before I can say café latte, Galloway’s dodging my calls, I’ve got a raccoon on my hands who’s decided mi casa es su casa, my ghostly best friend has a crush to die for, and local teenager Kira Melendez has turned up missing. 
    So much for an easy day. I have a sneaking suspicion my life is about to become a whole new level of crazy. 
    Join Audrey Fitzgerald in the Ghost Detective series, a paranormal cozy mystery featuring a cat, a ghost, and a murder to solve.

    When the Tuckers' next-door neighbor mentions someone rang their doorbell late the previous night, Sarah and Kenny Tucker check their home's security camera and discover something shocking: the doorbell ringer also visited their house and it wasn't a teenager playing a prank, but instead a terrified young woman with a shackle hanging from her right wrist. She anxiously pressed the doorbell again and again, glancing over her shoulder as if someone was coming for her, before giving up and taking off into the dark. 
     
     
     
    Almost overnight, she becomes known as The Girl on the Porch—and she's everywhere. There are updates on all the local networks, national coverage on CNN and Fox News, and the video goes viral on social media. Before long, everyone has seen the harrowing security camera footage. 
     
     
     
    Kenny and Sarah figure it's only a matter of time before someone recognizes the woman, but as the days pass and no one comes forward, odd things begin to transpire around the Tucker family: a man intensely watches them at a restaurant and then vanishes, fresh footprints appear in the garden next to their house where no one should have been, a neighbor's pet is viciously killed and mutilated, and a mysterious man has started following their daughter Natalie . . .
