  Murder's just another scandal waiting on the porch. 
  Georgia "Cussy" Hollingsworth thought she’d left small-town drama behind when she traded Kentucky for city life. But when her beloved uncle dies under suspicious circumstances, she's pulled straight back to the last place she wanted to be—right into the middle of a horse and cattle ranch she never asked for and a murder she can't ignore. 
  The plan was simple: settle his affairs, sell the property, and head home. Instead, Cussy finds herself tangled in long-held grudges, whispered secrets, and neighbors who remember everything—except who had a reason to kill. 
  Now she's balancing farm chores with fact-finding, dodging shady locals, and stumbling across more questions than answers. And with someone clearly trying to scare her off, Cussy has to decide: walk away, or dig in her heels and uncover the truth—before the killer makes her the next loose end to tie up. 
  Small town. Big secrets. And a reluctant sleuth who's about to learn that some roots run deeper than she ever imagined.

  "You're the most famous railroad detective that nobody ever heard of," says railroad tycoon Henry Plant when in May of 1887 he hires Jimmy Lee "Choctaw" Parker to investigate the murder of his head surveyor and geologist Leon Skarvo. In a story that ranges from Tampa to Ybor City and along the Florida Southern Railroad line to Arcadia, Choctaw Parker and his colleagues battle deceitful politicians, bolita gamblers, and ruthless cracker cowboys to uncover the truth in this fast-paced mystery set in Florida during the Gilded Age. About the Choctaw Parker Mysteries, The Historical Novel Society says that Brewer creates "…an engaging, anchored crime tale. [He] crafts an interesting cast of many memorable, despicable, and even some semi-honorable characters within a realistic historical setting."

  🧵 Vintage sewing machine repair shop owner and mechanic Stella Stitch is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the show's wealthy patron—a notorious fast-fashion mogul—is found dead in her workshop, electrocuted by a sabotaged antique sewing machine from her own collection. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Stella notices the machine has been deliberately rewired and the victim's final garment contains hidden messages in the stitching patterns. With her repair business under investigation and the sewing community divided, Stella must thread together an investigation as complex as a sewing machine's inner workings. Assisted by her sewing guild and the handsome electrical engineer who admires her vintage machine collection, Stella uncovers a scheme involving machine theft, industrial espionage, and a plot to destroy small sewing businesses. From suspicious bobbin tension that reveals tampering to stitch patterns that don't match the machine's capabilities, every mechanical detail tells a story. But when Stella discovers the victim was systematically putting local tailors out of business to acquire their vintage machine collections, she realizes the killer is protecting a community more tightly woven than any fabric. With the quilt show approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Stella must piece together the truth before her own machine gets permanently unplugged.

  Sheriff Jayne O’Shea is on edge. Hopeful applicants have taken over the commons area, all of them begging to become residents. Villagers who left long ago have returned, causing an uproar among the locals. The slow burn feud between the sister witches has reached the boiling point. And her parents are acting just plain weird. 
    
  Fortunately, it’s time for the annual Beltane celebration, the last opportunity for everyone to gather before tourists invade the village for the summer. Attendees dance around the Maypole, decorate fairy chairs, weave witch ladders, and nibble Green Man cake. Good, innocent fun. 
    
  Except, this year’s fire festival is being held during the driest spring the Northwoods has seen in a decade. And like bees to honey, the event has attracted an arsonist intent on burning the place to the ground one little fire at a time.
