Sinossi

The Result is the fifth volume in the Ian Caxton Thriller series. When Ian Caxton is offered a 'gift' of a painting worth £25 million he knows it comes with 'strings'... and he'll also be breaking the law. The result could be a fortune... or a long term in prison. Viktor sees a chance to help repatriate hidden paintings stolen by the Nazis during the Second World War, but could his honest intentions bring him into conflict with Ian? Emma is close to unravelling the history of her 'Mademoiselle Chad' painting, worth an estimated £3 million. However, this value can only be realised if she can identify the owner prior to 1889. Another absorbing page-turning tale involving more risks and rewards, but could The Result be the moment when Ian's successes finally come to an end?

    The local university’s Shakespeare troupe already had plenty of drama. Then their manager was murdered. 
    Fresh off her election win, Fenway Stevenson is ready to focus on her job as county coroner. But just hours after claiming victory, she's called to Nidever University, where the manager of a Shakespeare production has been found dead in a stairwell. The scene looks accidental—until Fenway spots signs of a struggle. 
    As the investigation unfolds, it's clear Jessica Marquez's death is no simple fall. Secrets swirl behind the curtain of the Merchant of Venice production, and Fenway begins to suspect the theater's drama didn't stop on stage. 
    Meanwhile, Fenway's father—still in jail following his shocking arrest for murder—casts a long shadow over her every move. Old wounds reopen, and a painful chapter from Fenway's past resurfaces in the form of a professor with dark secrets. 
    With her father behind bars, her relationship with the sheriff unraveling, and a murder investigation that's starting to smell like a political setup, Fenway must walk the razor-thin line between personal loyalty and professional duty. But in a town where alliances shift like sand and danger hides in plain sight, will Fenway's determination be enough to uncover the truth before someone else winds up dead? 
    Smart, suspenseful, and layered with emotional depth, The Upstaged Coroner is the fourth installment in the gripping Fenway Stevenson Mystery Series. Perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell, J.D. Robb, and Louise Penny, this page-turner weaves forensic science, complex characters, and shocking twists into an unforgettable story. 
    The stage is set. The players are in motion. And Fenway is running out of time.

    Lana Lee’s plate is already plenty full. Running her family’s Chinese restaurant in Cleveland’s Asia Village is challenging on the best of days. But just when Lana thinks she might be able to catch her breath before the weekend―which she’s eager to spend with her equally overworked boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau―Lana witnesses a car accident in the parking lot. And now she has no choice but to get involved. 
     
    June Yi, of Yi’s Tea and Bakery, is a serious businesswoman well-known for her heartlessness. But June meets her match when she rear-ends the Cadillac belonging to Mah Jong lover Mildred “Millie” Mao. As each woman curses―and threatens―the other, it becomes clear to Lana that trouble lies ahead. Still, who could have imagined that Millie would end up dead at the beauty salon? The evidence suggests that she was electrocuted while having a foot bath, and all eyes are on June. Can Lana find a way to solve this case before another fatality occurs in Asia Village?

    Twenty-four-year-old Catherine Fellingham keeps a low profile—in society and in her family. A practical young woman, she leaves the spotlight to her beautiful younger sister and prefers quiet pursuits such as reading. But all that changes the moment she learns of her mother’s very excellent scheme to keep the family out of debtors’ prison. The scatter-brained Lady Fellingham has been selling commissions in the king’s army, and Catherine must shake off her indifference in order to save her family from a potentially ruinous scandal. Lady Courtland, her mother’s partner-in-crime, readily agrees to abandon the plan but only because she finds a more absorbing project: nabbing a husband for Catherine. Catherine pays no head to her ladyship’s lavish claim that she’ll have her engaged by the end of the season, but that’s before she overhears Arabella instructing the handsome nonpareil, the Marquess of Deverill, to flirt outrageously with her and bring her into fashion. Mortified, Catherine resolves not to be taken in by the charming marquess's cruel game—and even implements a very excellent scheme of her own. This sensible young lady seems to have everything well in hand. Or is she about to learn that her heart is a great deal less practical than her head?
