    When her niece’s fiancé dies suddenly under suspicious circumstances, Miss Marple is drawn into one of her most personal cases. Rumors of madness, poison, and even strangulation swirl around the quiet English town. The local police dismiss it as heart failure, but Miss Marple knows better. 
    With only her sharp instincts, a few seemingly minor clues, and a lifetime of observing human nature, she pieces together the truth behind the man's death. What she discovers is more chilling—and more calculated—than anyone suspected. 
    This short story showcases Miss Marple at her most intuitive and relentless. 
    Perfect for fans of classic detective fiction, small-town mysteries, and clever female sleuths.

    Pascal d'Onscon, once terrorizing wine fraud scammers across southern France, is now pushing papers for the French bureaucracy in the modern Cité du Vin in Bordeaux. But not for long. He dreams of being a vintner, his hands in the dirt, the grape on his tongue, blending his very own creation: a bottle of wine with his own label. 
    Pascal has spent his life surrounded by French wine and winemakers. The idea that he could run his very own vineyard is tantalizing and keeps him up at night, dreaming of finding a small vineyard he can afford, somewhere in southwest France. His companion, Merle Bennett, the middle of five lawyer sisters, has her own aspirations. Two tiny cottages are begging to be renovated for summer rentals. Will the person camping in the back garden scuttle her plans? 
    When Pascal puts an abandoned vineyard in his sights, he doesn't want to let go. But Château des Corbeaux, owned by two Brits, has a complicated history. Not just recently with vandalism and hostile neighbors, but long ago secrets that resurface. Reluctant sellers, his own finances, and more threaten to derail him as he struggles to work out a way to make his dream a reality. 
    The second Pascal d'Onscon spinoff from the Bennett Sisters Mysteries, following DEAD FLAT in 2020.

    Lucy Haskell is returning home to Denver after four years living abroad in China. She's eager to see everything that has changed in her absence and to start the next chapter of her life. When her dear friend and traveling companion, Delphine Collins, goes missing, Lucy realizes she's in a unique position to help. She decides to apply to become a Pinkerton agent, offering her familiarity with the culture to help search for Delphine in Chinatown. 
    Jed Green isn't sure what he thinks about ladies joining the agency. From personal experience, Jed knows it's dangerous work, and he can't imagine putting a woman in such a tenuous situation. When he's asked to train a new female agent, he reluctantly agrees. But when he's asked to marry her for propriety's sake? That's another thing altogether – how utterly preposterous!  
    Before Jed and Lucy can concentrate on their case, they must discover if they can work together. However, resolving their surprising feelings for each other, so they can focus on their dangerous task, is another thing altogether.
