Midsummer, 1145. Walter, the steward of Evesham Abbey, is found dead at the bottom of a well pit. The Abbot, whose relationship with the lord Sheriff of Worcestershire is strained at best, dislikes needing to call in help. However, as the death appears to have not been an accident, he grudgingly receives Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, Serjeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin. The trio know to step carefully with the contentious undercurrents at play.
As the sheriff's men investigate the steward's death, they discover that truth is in short supply. With the tensions between the Abbey and the local castle guard reaching boiling point, another killing will force the investigation down a dangerous path.

    🥔 Chef and comfort food restaurateur Tater Smith is catering the town's annual Harvest Homecoming Dinner when the dinner's wealthy sponsor—a notoriously difficult food critic—is found dead in her kitchen, face-down in a massive bowl of mashed potatoes. The police suspect a kitchen accident, but Tater notices the potatoes have been deliberately undercooked and the victim's review notes contain coded messages about restaurant sabotage. With her restaurant's reputation getting mashed and the culinary community in an uproar, Tater must whip through the evidence to save her business. Assisted by her kitchen crew and the handsome food scientist analyzing starch content, Tater uncovers a scheme involving potato substitution, dairy contamination, and a plot to undermine local restaurants. From suspicious lump patterns that reveal intentional undercooking to dairy proteins that don't match her recipe, every spoonful tells a story. But when Tater discovers the victim was systematically contaminating ingredients to force restaurants to fail health inspections, she realizes the killer is protecting food safety more comforting than any home-cooked meal. With the homecoming dinner approaching and the real saboteur still mashing lies, Tater must smooth out the truth before her own restaurant gets permanently smashed.

    Tyger: A Story of Survival in the Jungle" by Michael James is a thriller that takes you dives deep into the heart of the jungle, where every decision can mean life or death. 
     Five friends, returning from a climb in the Himalayas, are trapped in cabin by a 400 pound Bengal tiger.  The choices the characters are forced to make under pressure, ratchets up the tension to nail-biting levels. Every choice, from deciding their travel routes to handling encounters with the tiger, feels weighty and fraught with potential danger. 
     What makes "Tyger" stand out is not just the external struggle for survival, but the internal conflicts that arise. As the characters navigate the treacherous jungle, their decisions often reflect their deepest fears and values, adding a psychological depth to the physical challenges they face. The overall pacing successfully builds suspense as readers are left wondering what consequences the characters will face next. 
     By turns dramatic and poetic, tender and terrifying, TYGER takes us on an unforgettable trek. The author skillfully forces us to confront our most basic fears, see how our beliefs dictate our choices, and question what we owe to both our fellow humans and the endangered, yet murderously dangerous, Tiger.
