Summary

When the Woman You Love Belongs to Another Man…
 
Hired gun, Hickman, makes a living of sorts. The pay’s good. He’s not tied down. And he has a talent for what he does.
 
But he’s alone.
 
After all, what are his options? He’s no beauty. No charmer. If she knew he was a professional hitman, what woman would want to share his life?
 
And, when his current employer’s mistress is beautiful, intelligent, and charismatic, why move on? Even if she does see him as part of the furniture.

    A widow in a mansion. Dark secrets. And poison, deadly poison. 
    After amateur detective Molly Sutton stumbles on a dead body, she wastes no time before eavesdropping and elbowing her way into conversations all over the French village of Castillac. But when Chief Dufort is about to clap handcuffs on the wrong man, she’s got to do more than chat to save him. Will she have the stuff—and the skill—to pull it off? 
    The Luckiest Woman Ever is the second book in the Molly Sutton Mystery series. (Though you learn more about Molly and her friends reading the books in order, the mysteries are standalone.) If expertly woven cozy mysteries, characters with depth, and detectives with a taste for French food are your thing, Nell Goddin's tales of murder will be right up your alley.

    Welcome to Black Abbey Towers . . . where murder is just the opening act. 
     
    Halloween, 1899: a satanic aristocrat, a missing village girl, and a fire that scorches Black Abbey Towers into legend. 
     
    Present day: The haunted abbey has been requisitioned as a film set and the cast is dying to be involved. 
     
    Retired NCA advisor-turned-hitwoman Dottie Barker is posing as a stunt expert while secretly bumping off local criminals vigilante style. The "Quirky Quintet"— four fearless WI ladies and their eccentric plus-one—have been cast as extras, but their talent for stumbling into murder investigations proves harder to contain than their cackling. 
     
    As suspicious deaths mount, an ancient diorama predicts the murders before they happen, and the legend of the "Death Collector" comes chillingly to life. Someone is playing a deadly game in the sinister chambers beneath the abbey, and only a gun-toting pensioner and a ghostly girl can stop it. 
     
    But secrets buried in blood have a habit of rising, and for Dottie, the final twist might just break her heart . . .
