    When a vineyard accident during harvest season leaves Lucie Montgomery without a valuable employee, it's her worst nightmare. But before she can search for a replacement, there's more bad news: Paul Merchant, her winery manager's husband, is found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool. 
     
     
     
    Police rule Paul's death an accident, but his wife insists he was murdered because of his leadership of Don't Pave Paradise, a conservationist group lobbying to keep the region's beautiful country roads unpaved. And six weeks ago, Paul's predecessor also died under mysterious circumstances. 
     
     
     
    As Lucie is drawn into investigating Paul's death, she discovers more than one motive for the crime—and more than one person in their close-knit community who wanted Paul dead. And when she finds an old photo of a beautiful local heiress who died tragically in a fire eighty years ago among Paul's papers, she starts to wonder if the modern-day crime might have roots in the past. 
     
     
     
    Either way, someone is determined to make sure Lucie, who's agreed to continue the work of Don't Pave Paradise, hits a dead end before she even gets started. Even if it means committing murder. Again.

    Spencer Charnas is dead. That's the bold claim detailed by Roy Merkin in Welcome to Horrorwood, written in the maverick journalist's courageous and virile prose. This is a forbidden chronicle ripped from the controversial manuscript of District Attorney Marcie Kent, the very woman who put Spencer Charnas on trial and then put him in the ground. The people and organizations who want the world to believe that the person, thing, or artificial intelligence masquerading as Spencer at concerts, conventions, and correctional facilities around the globe is the real deal have fought mercilessly to keep this book from publication. Welcome to Horrorwood unpacks the trial of the century with a first-person view as Merkin's razor-sharp annotations guide readers through Kent's obsessive psyche to reveal deep layers of conspiracy, collusion, and cavalier con jobs. Welcome to Horrorwood is the book they don't want you to read. Coverage you can count on, from the Merkin you can trust.

    But hey, it's okay. Ava's got this. She gets the disgusting sea monster—slime tentacles, ew—back to its fiery prison, then returns home to find the Vikings have come to call. They want Alfred, and they want him bad. 
     
     
     
    Over Ava's dead body.

    The truth stone aids in the search, but Ava begins to doubt even that as everyone who has ever met Alfred becomes a suspect. 
     
     
     
    Not to mention Winnie. As Alfred's main squeeze, Aunt Winnie is losing it. And that is putting it mildly. 
     
     
     
    When Winnie begins giving their family and friends the skeptical side-eye, Ava knows she's got to find Alfred and fast. Not just for his safety, but for the safety of anyone who crosses Winnie's path.
