  Empathetic to a fault, librarian Alice Pepper always had a natural talent for figuring out people and puzzles in the small Oregon town of West Hazel. But as a mystery permeates the quiet Pacific Northwestern community, murder is a challenge she’s not prepared to solve … 
   
  Down-on-her-luck Alice had hoped to retire before turning sixty-five, not struggle to keep her cozy home and dependable job. But even after divorce leaves her golden years a mess, the pieces always come together with a little help from her friends—a fun-loving crew who thrive on jigsaws over coffee, cocktails, and gossip. So, when it’s time to defend close confidant Ruby Milliner, she springs into action. Only, in this case, supporting Ruby means proving she didn’t murder her cheating husband! 
   
  Ruby never wanted to kill George, although anger can make a person say questionable—and incriminating—things. And scheming, deceitful George made a lot of people angry. A quick investigation reveals the man was blackmailing whoever he could for a quick payday, from his mistress to the most prominent residents in town … 
   
  Alice dives into a secret search to exonerate Ruby, fiercely committed to cracking the crime and patching up torn relationships along the way. Despite using her unassuming persona to fly under the radar, slimming down a massive suspect list and restoring peace to West Hazel is a real gamble. Because if successful, Alice will meet a vengeful killer whose game she doesn’t yet know how to play. 
   
  “Much as her librarian sleuth Alice Pepper completes her much-loved jigsaw puzzles, author Roz Noonan snaps the final piece of this delightful and entertaining whodunit into place with a satisfying click. I can’t wait for the next Puzzle Club mystery!”—Leslie Meier, author of Patchwork Quilt Murder

  Enjoy this small town paranormal cozy mystery with an amateur sleuth by award-winning author Ada Bell. 
  Much Ado About Murder 
  When the local college announces the spring play, Aly’s roommate Amy proposes trying out together. Amy’s a drama major, so it should be fun. Aly’s surprised to be cast as understudy to the lead. Erica’s a real diva, so Aly vows to learn her lines and stay behind the scenes. But when a stage light falls onto their star, it’s curtains for Erica. Her death looks like a tragic accident until Aly receives a vision of murder. 
  Initially, the police think Aly killed Erica to take her part, but what they don’t know is how badly Amy wanted the role. Or how much she hated Erica. When Amy takes center stage as the prime suspect, Aly takes on the detective role once more to prove her friend’s innocence. She just needs to do it without further implicating herself. 
  Erica treated the entire cast and crew with contempt; who hated her enough to kill? Was it the ex-boyfriend forced to share the spotlight with the woman he once loved? The costume designer whose hard work wound up in tatters? Or was it the rival furious that Erica got cast as the lead? With Aly’s help, maybe the play’s the thing to catch the conscience of the killer. 
  The Psychic's the Thing is the seventh book in the Shady Grove Psychic Mysteries series. This small town paranormal mystery with an amateur female sleuth will appeal to fans of Annabel Chase, Amy Boyles, and Lily Webb.

  Shanghai 1927. Pearl of the East or Whore of the Orient? Depends on who you ask. It's a cesspool of poverty, thronged with refugees, gripped by civil war. But for some it's still a fever dream: jazz clubs, film stars, and opium dens, celebrities and spies, easy money and easier women. 
   
   
   
  The son of a rural Irish cop, Michael Gallagher has joined the Shanghai Municipal Police to escape an Ireland crippled by its recent bitter independence fight and escape a personal tragedy. 
   
   
   
  Michael encounters Shanghai's biggest philanthropist, a man called Big Ears Lu—who is also its creepiest racketeer. He falls for the beautiful courtesan Miriam Tsai. 
   
   
   
  But does Michael's collusion with Lu keep Miriam trapped in the House of Multiple Joys? 
   
   
   
  Shanghai in 1927 is a city where after dark anything seems possible. A city where anyone can be crushed, and anyone corrupted. Even an innocent Irish cop. 
   
   
   
  From the wreckage of guerrilla war in Ireland to the dawn of world war in Asia, Gangsters of Shanghai seethes with twentieth century turbulence and temptation. 
   
   
   
  Can Mike Gallagher remain uncorrupted, and escape the imploding city with his life and his self-respect?
