Sinopse

Finalist 2021 Killer Nashville Claymore Award for 'Best Historical'. This fascinating, well researched historical novel, ‘The Genizah Codex', Book 2 of the ‘Academy of Sisters’ series, is a detective story spanning three timeframes. They are linked by one common factor - an ancient document which may hold keys to solving the crimes. Modern-day PhD student Catherine Simpson travels to Jerusalem to conduct research for her thesis. In the crypt of a Nestorian monastery she stumbles upon a second century Aramaic codex. Shiphrah, a member of the Academy of Sisters in second century Alexandria, leads the translation of their founder Sophia’s memoirs into Greek. Ex-Templar Hughes seeks to find who betrayed his father to Philippe le Bel’s Inquisition. He purchases a set of Aramaic scrolls. The Genizah Codex reveals its secrets and makes everyone rich and famous.

    “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen from the house,” the policeman said in an awe-inspiring tone. 
    “Samuel Knight’s body was stolen! Impossible!” Jackson replied. 
    “Yes. You didn’t hear of it?” 
    “Hear of it?” Jackson echoed. “No! I haven’t heard of it whatsoever. I can’t believe it. God, Samuel’s body, was stolen. It sounds impossible to me. Do you have any clue who stole it?” 
    “We don’t know. It was lying in state in the living room at the home, awaiting the undertaker to pick it up.” 
    “Wasn’t the body watched?” 
    “No. Why should it be watched? Who would have supposed for one single minute someone would come and steal the body?” 
    “We don’t have any idea. Tim Collins, the undertaker, arrived this morning and found the body gone. One of the windows was open in the room, and Doctor Clair was the only one with a key.” 
    “Any theories on who might have done something like that?” 
    “The Chief thinks someone hid under the table with a big cloth hanging to the floor draped over it. So, someone hid under the cloth until all was quiet and the door locked and then came out, stole the body, and went out the window.” 
    “I’ve never heard of anything like this in all my life,” exclaimed Jackson. 
    The big question is, why was Samuel killed, and what happened to the body?

    Two workplace rivals. One festive competition. And a romance that upends it all. 
     
    Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham--Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace. Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they'll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she'd be a contender in her company's holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise? 
     
    Jeremy Fletcher's life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year's promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she's his rival, he can't stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he's afraid that if he can't get his head on straight, the promotion isn't the only thing he'll end up losing to Mackenzie.

    From Agatha and Edgar Award nominated author Valerie Burns, influencer-turned-bakery-owner Maddy Montgomery has sold plenty of wedding cakes before, but before she turns one out for her and her fiancé’s wedding, she’ll have to solve a little case of murder first … 
      
    Aunt Octavia would be so proud! Maddy has turned Baby Cakes Bakery—named for her 250-pound English Mastiff, Baby—into a runaway success, and she’s marrying the love of her life, veterinarian Michael Portman. #DreamWedding! Plus the timing couldn’t be better: the country’s biggest bridal expo has come to New Bison, Michigan, and Maddy has secured a spot for Baby Cakes to showcase their cakes. She’s also entered a contest for an all-expenses-paid wedding extravaganza offered by world-renowned wedding planner Serafina. 
      
    Unfortunately, supremely nasty Serafina truly takes the cake—she makes the worst bridezilla seem like a shy flower girl. But there’s one thing the wedding planner didn’t plan on—being impaled by one of the skewers Baby Cakes uses on their tiered wedding cakes. 
      
    While Maid of Honor Sheriff April Johnson rounds up suspects at the expo, Maddy and her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars, and even Baby join forces to unveil a killer hiding in plain sight … before wedding bells start to chime.

    But in her wildest dreams, she never imagined she'd be tossed out the window of a moving train, broken and bleeding. And she could never have predicted the dark horse who would come to her aid, or the comeback story that lay before them both.
