  A 1920s cosy aboard a yacht on the Scilly Seas 
  Golden-age gadabout Anty Boisjoly, his valet Vickers, the weary and wary Inspector Wittersham, and a passenger list of howling eccentrics find themselves prey to the sway and spray of the Scilly Seas when what at first seems a simple, unexplainable, locked-stateroom murder twists into a tale of pirate treasure, perilous weather and treacherous endeavours at sea. 
  Just as with all Anty Boisjoly stand-alone stumpers, Mystery and Malice aboard RMS Ballast is best enjoyed by those who can stand some slight silliness in their maritime mysteries. 
  Anty Boisjoly Mysteries are old-school, clean and cosy, locked-room mysteries with improbable plots inspired by Agatha Christie written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

  In Death Makes A Mistake, P. F. Costello delivers a witty, noir-tinged comedy of errors that follows the hapless Reggie Van Fiddler as he stumbles into a most unfortunate appointment—with Death himself. Reggie, a cocktail-loving bon vivant with a knack for bad timing, finds his leisurely day at the club disrupted by the unsettling presence of Mr. Demise, a small, impeccably dressed man claiming to be Death’s emissary. 
  What follows is a hilarious series of misadventures as Reggie, more annoyed than afraid, scrambles to outwit his unwanted visitor. But as it turns out, even Death can have an off day. Between bureaucratic blunders, misplaced assignment books, and one too many martinis, Mr. Demise proves himself less an ominous specter and more a bumbling rookie on his first job. 
  With a delightful mix of supernatural satire and detective pulp charm, Death Makes A Mistake is a fast-paced romp through life, death, and the perils of poor paperwork. 
  Perfect for fans of vintage noir comedies, Douglas Adams-style dark humor, and anyone who enjoys watching Death get flustered.

  Seattle teacher and part-time blogger Hayden McCall wakes up sporting one hell of a shiner, with the police knocking at his door. It seems that his new crush, dancer Camilo Rodriguez, has gone missing, and they suspect foul play. What happened the night before? And where is Camilo? Determined to find answers, pint-sized, good-hearted Hayden seeks out two of Camilo’s friends—Hollister and Burley—both lesbians and both fiercely devoted to their friend. From them, Hayden learns that Camilo is a “Dreamer” whose parents had been deported years earlier and whose sister is presumed to have returned to Venezuela with them. Convinced that the cops won’t take a brown boy’s disappearance seriously, the girls join Hayden’s hunt for Camilo. The first clues turn up at Barkingham Palace, a pet store where Camilo had taken a part-time job. The store’s owner, Della Rupert, claims ignorance, but Hayden knows something is up. And then there’s Camilo’s ex-boyfriend, Ryan, who’s suddenly grown inexplicably wealthy. When Hayden and Hollister follow Ryan to a secure airport warehouse, they make a shocking connection between him and Della—and uncover the twisted scheme that’s made both of them rich. The trail of clues leads them to the grounds of a magnificent estate on an island in Puget Sound, where they’ll finally learn the truth about Camilo’s disappearance—and the fate of his family.
