Summary

Description:
Mia Carter was a college freshman with a generous heart and a perfectly thought-out plan: sponsor two siblings through school, watch them thrive, feel good about it. The math made sense. The cause felt real. She'd seen it with her own eyes.

Four years later, she stood outside a brand-new two-story house she'd unknowingly helped pay for, watching the girl she'd been funding set off fireworks in the street.

She wasn't the only one.

Ethan Reeves — a young academic who'd spent six years sending nearly his entire salary to the same family — had no idea Mia existed. Together, they'd been played by someone who had turned systematic deception into a full-time job.

*Too Kind for My Own Good* is a smart, satisfying story about how kindness without discernment gets exploited — and what happens when two good people finally decide to fight back.

Being good is not enough. You also have to be smart.

    Burned-out chef, and a bit of a hippy at heart if he's honest, Max Effort has had enough. He's packed in his job at a swanky Michelin three-star restaurant, grown his hair, berated his parents yet again for giving him such a "go get 'em" name, accepted he's never going to get his ex-wife back, and he's hitting the road. 
     
     
     
    The house is sold, a VW Campervan bought, and Anxious, his trusty Jack Russell Terrier, has already picked his spot. 
     
     
     
    Sick of the sight of roux, defiant in the face of deconstructed trifle, green at the sight of truffles, and despairing of anything served on a slate rather than a plate, he's about to embark on a tour of the backroads of Britain. He'll weave his way around the country to visit the sights, go to a few festivals, catch up with friends, and just chill out. 
     
     
     
    And every single night without fail, he's going to make his main meal in his cast-iron pot. It's one-pot cooking or bust for Max, and he cannot wait. 
     
     
     
    Freedom at last. The open road with his best friend for company. No hot, sweaty kitchens, shouting chefs, uppity waiters, or demanding customers. Just countryside, campsites, back-to-basics cooking, and the stars at night. 
     
     
     
    Then there was a murder . . .

    Murderpalooza, the premier thriller writers conference, is meant to be an exciting celebration of the genre and its preeminent writers. But when bestselling author and industry favorite Kristin Bailey is found dead in her hotel room, four rival authors—a midlister, an egomaniac, a has-been, and a newbie—also get targeted by an anonymous social media account and wonder if they're next. 
     
     
     
    First, they find themselves bonding to try to find out who's behind it. As the account taunts them, it slowly reveals secrets that each of them have connected to Kristin—secrets that make them a suspect in each other's eyes. Soon, they are turning on each other and silently accusing each as a killer. With time running out until the awards ceremony where the social media account has promised a big reveal, the only thing they know for sure is that no one is better at both creating and solving a mystery than the people who write them for a living.

    A stormy evening of olive and silver was closing in, as Father Brown, wrapped in a grey Scotch plaid, came to the end of a grey Scotch valley and beheld the strange castle of Glengyle. It stopped one end of the glen or hollow like a blind alley; and it looked like the end of the world. Rising in steep roofs and spires of seagreen slate in the manner of the old French-Scotch chateaux, it reminded an Englishman of the sinister steeple-hats of witches in fairy tales; and the pine woods that rocked round the green turrets looked, by comparison, as black as numberless flocks of ravens.
