  An Atlanta investigative reporter who speaks for those without a voice. A female-owned strip club famous for treating its performers as well as its customers. But when one popular dancer is ritualistically murdered, reporter Keke McCoy’s investigation won’t leave hers—or anyone’s—secrets safe, in the first of a thrilling mystery series by L. Divine … 
   
  When Keke starts looking into secretive stripper Monaka’s grisly death, she’s instantly caught between her past and her present. Through The Honey Pot club owner “Honey Mama’’ Thiboudeaux, Keke found refuge from the streets, earned much money from her stage persona “Brandy,’’ and got a chance at a new life all her own. Her bombshell exposé about the club launched her reporting career. But it caused a bitter, seemingly irrevocable split between her, the only family she’s ever known—and Drew, the one man Keke won't admit she's never gotten over … 
   
  At Honey Mama request, Keke goes undercover as Brandy to find the truth before political pressures shut the progressive club down for good. But Keke has to watch more than her back when she finds Monaka had an unshakable, dangerously elusive stalker, an illicit club sideline—and vicious conflicts with rival dancers.  
   
  Even more explosive, Keke’s persistence is putting her at odds with Drew, now a police detective working this case … and the secrets she herself can no longer hide. 
   
  Now with the clock fast ticking down, Keke must tantalize the killer with the one lure he—or she—can’t resist. But using fantasy as a trap could put more than her pursuit of justice on the line—it risks ending her career and life for good …

  🏡 Tea shop owner Violet Brewster adores her picture-perfect English village of Honeycroft, where everyone knows each other and life moves at a gentle pace. But when the village's beloved mayor is found dead in the prize-winning rose garden during the annual Spring Fete, the peaceful facade shatters. The police call it a tragic accident, but Violet notices the carefully planted clues that suggest otherwise—a misplaced gardening glove, a broken teacup, and a cryptic note pinned to the village notice board. As old grudges surface and long-buried secrets bloom like spring flowers, Violet teams up with the village's retired Scotland Yard inspector and her gossipy book club to investigate. From competing jam recipes to disputed property lines, every quaint village tradition hides a potential motive. But as Violet digs deeper into the community's carefully tended soil, she uncovers a root system of resentment that runs generations deep—and a killer who's been waiting decades to settle a score.

  🥖 Beatrice "Bea" Crumb owns the most popular bakery on Baker Street, but her world turns upside down when a rival baker is found dead in his own shop—with one of Bea's signature sourdough loaves as the murder weapon. The police see an open-and-shut case of competitive rage, but Bea knows her bread would never be used for such a nefarious purpose. With her business crumbling faster than a dry scone, Bea must rise to the occasion and prove her innocence. Assisted by her bookish apprentice and the charming coffee shop owner next door, Bea follows a trail of flour-dusted clues. From a suspiciously perfect croissant that reveals baking sabotage to a mysterious flour code written in spilled semolina, every baked good tells a story. But when Bea discovers the victim was investigating a recipe theft ring targeting local bakers, she realizes the killer might be part of a much larger conspiracy. With the real criminal still at large and the annual Baker Street Bake-Off approaching, Bea must knead through the lies before she becomes the next victim in a town where some competitions turn deadly.
