    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.

    From the Arthur Ellis Award–winning Grand Master of Crime Writers comes the next installment in the Joanne Kilbourn series
    		 
    When Joanne Shreve’s former student, Val Masluk, writes the biography of acclaimed novelist Steven Brooks, Val once again becomes part of Joanne’s life. The biography is already raising troubling questions about Brooks’s past, and the wedding of Brooks’s daughter and Joanne’s son is scheduled for the day before the biography is published.
    		 
    Both Joanne and her former student are haunted by memories of the seminar that led to the deaths of two people and the murder conviction of a third. The publication of the Brooks biography poses a threat not only to the future of the man and woman about to be married but also to the futures of those who love them. Joanne is certain that the threat is rooted in either her past or in that of Steven Brooks. The collateral damage caused by exposing that link will bring pain to both families, but life has taught Joanne that the only thing worse than knowing is not knowing.

    Marvin Dimple was a reserved, introverted man, who lived alone and worked as a bookkeeper in Las Vegas. His one major weakness was his addiction to playing roulette in a Vegas casino. One late Friday night, he had a long run of bad luck and had no additional funds available to try and win back his money. Being the last player at the roulette table that night, he and the croupier became engaged in conversation. The croupier referred to Marvin's gold and diamond-studded watch, indicating that Marvin would get substantial cash immediately by getting a loan from a nearby pawn shop, using his watch as collateral. After some initial resistance, Marvin began to consider the idea. He left the casino and began walking home to his nearby apartment when he saw the bright neon sign of the pawn shop referred to by the croupier. Marvin decided to go inside to make an inquiry, a decision that set off a sequence of shocking and ominous events that required the involvement of Detective Sergeant Lucius Bunk of the Las Vegas Metro Police.

    A Disappearance in Fiji

    1914, Fiji: Akal Singh, 25, would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise—or, as he calls it, “this godforsaken island.” After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and grumpy, Akal plods  
    through his work and dreams of getting back to Hong Kong or his native India. 
     
    When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji’s newspapers scream “kidnapping,” the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case. Akal, eager to achieve redemption, agrees—but soon finds himself far more invested than he could have expected. 
     
    Now not only is he investigating a disappearance, but also confronting the brutal realities of the indentured workers’ existence and the racism of the British colonizers in Fiji—along with his own thorny notions of personhood and caste.  
     
    Early interrogations of the white plantation owners, Indian indentured laborers, and native Fijians yield only one conclusion: there is far more to this case than meets the eye. 
     
    Nilima Rao’s sparkling debut mystery offers an unflinching look at the evils of colonialism, even as it brims with wit, vibrant characters, and fascinating historical detail.
