  🍲 When the town's most competitive cook, Betty Crockwell, collapses face-first into her famous green bean casserole at the annual church potluck, everyone assumes it's a tragic accident. But café owner and amateur chef Daisy Dish suspects foul play when she notices the casserole tastes... unusual. With the police dismissing her concerns and the town eager to move on, Daisy must take matters into her own oven mitts. Teaming up with the church's new young pastor and her gossipy baking club, Daisy investigates a simmering pot of small-town rivalries, secret recipes, and long-buried resentments. From a suspiciously perfect pie crust to a casserole dish that doesn't match the victim's usual set, every culinary clue points toward a killer who knows their way around a kitchen. But as Daisy gets closer to the truth, the killer serves up a warning: a threatening note tucked into her own recipe box. Now Daisy must uncover which of her neighbors added a deadly ingredient to the potluck before she becomes the next course on the menu.

  From British journalist and bestselling author Tom Bradby, Yesterday’s Spy is a brilliantly plotted historical espionage novel about a father searching for his disappeared son against the backdrop of the 1953 coup in Tehran  
   
  London, 1953. Harry Tower is a recently widowed and world-weary British spy, out of favor and down on his luck. After a night spent drinking away his sorrows, he is awakened by a phone call with chilling news. His estranged son Sean has  
  gone missing in Tehran after writing a damning article about the involvement of government officials in the opium trade. Harry springs to action, eager to reunite with his son and atone for past wrongs. 
   
  When he arrives in Tehran, a city roiling with political dissatisfaction and on the brink of a historic coup, Harry joins forces with Sean’s Iranian girlfriend, Shahnaz—seemingly the only other person interested in finding the disappeared journalist.  
   
  Harry’s career as a spy soon proves perfect training for this much more personal mission as American, British, Iranian, and French players flit in and out of the scene. But as the first attempt at a coup in the city fails and foreign powers jockey  
  for oil, money, and influence, Sean’s disappearance takes on a more sinister tone. Was he really taken in retribution for his reporting, or is this an attempt to silence a globally significant revelation he was preparing to make? 
   
  Or, most terrifyingly, does Sean’s disappearance have nothing to do with him at all? Has Harry’s past caught up to them?

  Welcome to Marion, Texas, where missing persons cases are the norm and the population remains...delicious! 
  The Harvest Trilogy reaches its epic finale in the next town over from the now scorched alien battlefield of Schertz, the city that developed and secretly tested the Celluloss serum on its unsuspecting citizens. 
  Marion, Texas, population 3,700, is so small, if you blink driving through, you'll miss it. An area business owner is awarded 'Tastiest Meats in Town' by the Chamber of Commerce. John Hester's family-owned meat market is a staple in the region. Respected by the locals, he is above reproach. When he befriends new resident, retired 9/11 firefighter, Jack Callaghan, things get weird. Stranger still are the disappearing residents, thousands of unsolved cold cases dating a half a century back that Callaghan discovers as he and his wife try to settle in. When they begin receiving veiled threats from the Reverend Harcourt Cane warning them to leave, Jack must find a way to protect himself and his wife while helping the FBI solve the mystery of the federal Census that never budges...despite all the missing residents. 
  "Suspense-filled! I loved what she did with the final part of the trilogy. It was pure genius!" ~ Willow Star Serenity
