  Baby dragons, a paranormal animal shelter, and a magical academy where the professors are know-it-all cats? Throw a dead body in the mix, and Elsie's thinking this magical town might be too hot to handle… 
  For Elsie Thorn, the only magic in her life is somehow being able to make the rent every month. Until a mysterious woman makes her an offer too good to be true. 
  Did she read the contract? No. Who really reads through the pages of terms and conditions? 
  It's not like she's going to get whisked to a fairytale town with cobblestone streets, castles and a dragon hatchery with the hunkiest mountain man caretaker she’s ever laid eyes on... right? 
  Oops. 
  Between studying for lessons at Professor Hissington’s academy, feeding the griffins at the paranormal creature sanctuary and nursing the dragon hatchlings, Elsie finally feels like she’s accomplishing something with her life. 
  But a dead body found in her barn threatens to ruin everything. Elsie’s not about to let a killer walk free in her new home, so she dives into the investigation. Hot on the heels of a killer who always seems one step ahead, she teams up with her newfound friends to unravel the mystery. 
  Will Elsie be able to find the culprit or will her new life go up in a puff of smoke? 
  This is a full-length paranormal cozy mystery novel with animals who won’t shut up, baby dragons too cute for their own good, magic spells for all of life’s little annoyances and a supernatural town hidden deep in the mountains in a land that time forgot.

  A man on the run, a madman on the loose terrorizing the town, and Maigret on the case—a thrilling, nerve-racking mystery from Georges Simenon.The Madman of Bergerac finds Maigret on the train to Bordeaux trying to sleep, to no avail. A man in the bunk above is tossing and turning, perhaps even crying. Suddenly, the passenger jumps up, then jumps off the moving train. Maigret instinctively follows suit but is struck down, shot in the shoulder. When he reawakens, he’s hospitalized and surrounded by officials—who think he is the local murderer. Though the confusion is soon cleared up, Maigret’s interest is piqued by the stories of the madman who has been killing women on the side of the road, first strangling his victims, then stabbing them with a giant needle. It’s a case that comes about by pure chance, and there’s nothing to do but recover, bedridden. So using his indefatigable power of deduction, along with his penchant for mischievous schemes, the inspector resolves to figure out just what the situation is in Bergerac.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

  Marcus Beckham paed his pipe, flicked the lighter, then puffed 5 times — the exact same thing he did every time he felt like indulging. “She’s really quite naive, isn’t she?” Another puff. “Still she serves our purposes nicely I think…” 
  Daniel Carstairs glanced toward the generous window, noting Miami’s stormy skies. “A storm is brewing.” he commented as he returned his attention to his junior partner. “And I’m not talking about the weather…” 
  A snort. “She’s expendable — if things aren’t as we desire, then we simply make other arrangements. It’s really a rather basic solution…” 
  Carstairs stood, his intention clear as he headed for Beckham’s office door. “Should we find it’s not as simple as you pronounce, there will be consequences. If you’re not familiar with them, it will behoove you to become enlightened.” His hand on the door knob, he turned, his eyes signaling the message he meant to deliver. “This better work, Marcus…” 
  When Declan Kilgarry and Colbie Colleen joined forces against a hush-hush and illicit environmental triumvirate, partners of Kilgarry, Bryson and Colleen Investigations find themselves mired in danger, intrigue, and murder, Unsuspecting of undercurrents catapulting them into alarming and deadly situations, each embarks on a case separate from the others. Their intentions clear…make out a alive. 
  Author Faith Wood’s Risk Required transports readers into the lives of Declan Kilgarry and Colbie Colleen, each preferring their own investigative style. Interweaving individual idiosyncrasies, Wood creates an unfamiliar tension as they discover true intentions, deceit, the knowledge that life is precious.
