Synopsis

The aftermath of the Vietnamese liberation of Cambodia sets the stage for a chilling pursuit of justice. In the refugee camps along the Thai border, a ruthless killer is targeting young girls. Decades later, a series of similar crimes in Phnom Penh awakens painful memories for the Minister of the Interior, whose sister was a victim.
 
Determined to find answers, he assigns his trusted investigator, Chamreun, to join forces with Sophie Chang, a seasoned police officer returning from Boston. Together, they delve into the past while racing against time to solve the murders. As Interpol links the Asian crimes to unsolved killings in Europe, Chamreun and Sophie's investigation takes an unexpected turn. Amidst the unfolding horror, their own connection deepens, forging an unbreakable bond.
 
Through the chilling perspective of the killer's diary and their relentless pursuit of truth, "Angkor Cloth, Angkor Gold" delves into a web of forgotten victims, haunting secrets, and the enduring fight for justice. Will Chamreun and Sophie unmask the killer, or will the victims remain forgotten, denied their rightful closure?

    Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon should be checking off their Christmas present list but instead they're listing murder suspects in this latest entry of the Victorian Mystery series. 
     
     
     
    Harriet Andover had no intention of dying young like her silly siblings had. She intended to outlive them and outdo them as she always had. But Harriet discovers that the best intentions can lead to murder when she is strangled inside her mansion with a house full of holiday guests. 
     
     
     
    As much as Inspector Witherspoon enjoys his job delivering justice, the last thing he wanted was a complicated murder case just a week before Christmas. He soon discovers that Harriet's own husband and grown stepchildren are not overcome with grief and neither are most of her friends. And to put the icing on the Christmas cookies, the room where Harriet's body was found was locked from the inside and she had the only key in her pocket. 
     
     
     
    Mrs. Jeffries and the household have no intention of letting their inspector down and learn that Harriet's sister may have died from foul play as well. As the clues mount, this dedicated band of merry sleuths will not rest until they've delivered a stocking full of coal to a crafty killer.

    Does a police interview count as a meet cute? Asking for a friend... 
    FOSTER 
    It’s not quite protocol to start flirting right after you’ve flashed your badge at a guy. But I can’t resist Craig, the pet resort owner I’ve come to interview. I mean, look at him in his wet jeans and…is that dog hair all over his chest? 
    I’m dying to ask him out, but first I have to do a favor for my great aunt—okay, she bribed me—and go on a blind date with the grandson of her frenemy. 
    But guess who shows up to rescue me with an outrageous cover story and a rhinestone dog collar? 
    CRAIG 
    My last excuse for a relationship ended badly. Like, I-needed-two-years-of-therapy badly. But I can’t stop thinking about the hot cop who told me to call him if I had any questions. 
    Trust me, he meant those italics. 
    When I see an opportunity to save Foster in his hour of need, I decide to go hard or go home. And it pays off — big time. 
    But even if I’m ready to risk dating again, is Foster ready for the reputation my little stunt has given him? And when our lives (and bodies) start to get tangled, are either of us ready to let our hearts get involved? 
    One thing I know is neither of us are ready for the guy with a gun in my house... 
    Heart Me Up is a low-angst MM romance filled with meddling friends, hurt/comfort, game nights, suspense, one very uncomfortable couch, and the creative use of dog accessories... 
    This story takes place before the events in the rest of the Bent Oak, Texas series and can be read as a standalone.

    In a fit of anger, radio DJ Jaye Jordan blows a snowman’s head off with a Revolutionary War-style musket. But the corpse that tumbles out is all too human. Jaye thought life would be quieter when she left New York City and bought a tiny Vermont radio station. But now Edwin Anger—the ranting and raving radio talk-show host who Jaye recently fired—lies dead in the snow. And the Edwin Anger fans who protested his dismissal are sure she killed him. To clear her name, Jaye must find the real killer, as if she doesn’t have her hands full running the radio station, DJing her all-request love-song show, and shuttling tween daughter Ryan to and from school. It doesn’t make matters easier that the governor—Jaye’s old crush—arrived on the scene before the musket smoke cleared. Fortunately, Jaye has allies… if you count the flatulent moose that lives in the transmitter shack and the giant gray cat that lives at the station. If Jaye can turn the tables on the devious killer, she and the governor may get to make some sweet sweet music together. But if she can’t, she’ll be off the air… permanently.

Worse, Shay's assistant is suspected of intentionally serving the lethal brew and committing cold-blooded murder. Now, aided only by Liam and her dog Spirit, Shay must exonerate her employee and save the future of Crystals & CuriosiTeas.
