  Ever wondered what ancient secrets lie buried beneath the sands of Egypt? Let me tell you about Sekhet, a curious and determined girl from a humble village whose life takes an extraordinary turn. She stumbles upon a mysterious amulet—heavy, pulsing with an otherworldly energy, and etched with cryptic hieroglyphs. It's like it has a life of its own, hinting at forgotten powers and secrets lost to time. 
  Intrigued by this enigmatic artifact, Sekhet seeks out Neferu, a girl from a distant and mysterious family who've just moved into the grand, crumbling estate on the outskirts of the village. But this isn't just any old mansion. The estate is a relic of a bygone era, filled with whispers of curses and dark secrets. Especially the eastern wing—long avoided and shrouded in fear—it's said to conceal something sinister that even the bravest souls dare not confront. 
  As Sekhet and Neferu become fast friends, they start to uncover unsettling truths about the estate's hidden past. Strange footsteps echo through empty halls, mysterious lights flicker in the dead of night, and it feels like the very walls are trying to speak to them. With each revelation, the boundary between the known and the unknown starts to blur, pulling them deeper into a web of intrigue connected to some of ancient Egypt's most cryptic legends. 
  Dive into The Whispering Amulet, a gripping tale of suspense and discovery where the past and present collide. Join Sekhet and Neferu on their thrilling adventure to uncover the truth—a journey that could unlock the greatest secrets or awaken the darkest forces. Are you ready to unravel the mystery?

  An unscrupulous realtor pays the ultimate closing costs in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
   
   
   
  Autumn is settling in on Cranberry Cove, but things are starting to heat up when Monica's stepmother shows up at her back door gripped by panic. Gasping out an explanation, she tells Monica she'd been dozing in her realtor's car when he was shot dead. Refusing to alert the police for fear that the killer will target her next—or that the police will consider her their prime suspect—Monica's stepmother goes mute, and Monica decides to track down the culprit herself to clear her name and keep her safe. 
   
   
   
  Finding the killer won't be so easy, though, as the victim had run afoul of buyers, sellers, and even other realtors at one time or another, and it seems that nearly everyone in the small town had a reason to want him dead. Even more puzzling is that the deeper Monica digs into the background and final days of the victim, the more the clues point to her stepmother. Then a second body is found, and Monica realizes she's going up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to put everyone involved out of commission . . .
