Michelle Cox

Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A dazzling wedding. A grand estate. A murder no one saw coming.
Henrietta and Clive Howard are finally tying the knot—but family tensions and clashing expectations threaten to upend their plans. As the long-awaited day arrives, love is in the air—but so are complications. Elsie’s budding romance with Stanley is tested by the arrival of the dashing Lieutenant Harrison Barnes-Smith and Henrietta’s vivacious friend Rose—a situation that grows increasingly dark and confused as time goes on.
Clive and Henrietta begin their honeymoon at Castle Linley, Clive’s ancestral home in England, where Henrietta must adjust to a host of new relations—including the brooding Wallace Howard, heir to the estate. When a local man is found murdered in the nearby village, Wallace falls under suspicion, and Clive is reluctantly drawn into the investigation.
Together, Clive and Henrietta must navigate crumbling traditions, family secrets, and disturbing news from home—all while trying to prove Wallace’s innocence. But as they dig deeper into the case, they uncover truths that could shake the Linley legacy to its core.
Can Clive and Henrietta find the real killer and clear Wallace’s name—without destroying the estate’s future?

It's all fun and games until someone gets killed.

Laura Graystone, a beautiful rising Broadway star, is dragged into the heart of their investigation, and she’s none too happy about it. Especially when danger first strikes, and she needs to rely on her own ingenuity to save their hides. 
Join Jax, Laura and Ace on a fun yet deadly ride during the Roaring Twenties that takes twists and turns, and a race against time to find the real murderer before he/she/they stop them permanently.

The Body Falls

Andrea Carter

Bridges Down—Roads Impassable—Killer Trapped 
 
 
 
April in Florida and Benedicta (Ben) O'Keeffe is enjoying balmy temperatures during the last few days of a six month stint with a US law firm. A week later, she returns to Glendara, Inishowen, where a charity cycle event is taking place. The town is abuzz with excitement, but it starts to rain, causing the cyclists to postpone the start of their event and stay overnight in the town. The rain doesn't stop—it becomes relentless, torrential. 
 
 
 
In the middle of the night, Police Sergeant Tom Molloy is called out to Mamore Gap, where a body, dislodged from a high bank by the heavy rain, has fallen onto a passing vehicle. It is identified as Bob Jameson, a well-known charities boss and the organizer of the cycling event. Stunned, the local doctor finds evidence of a recent snakebite. Terrible weather persists and soon bridges are down and roads are impassable. Glendara is completely cut off and since there are no native snakes in Ireland, could there be a killer trapped in the community? With no help from the outside world, it's left to Molloy—with Ben's assistance—to find out who is responsible for Bob Jameson's bizarre death.
