  A music career within reach. A childhood friend murdered. One chance to catch a killer before Ava becomes his next target. 
  “Just when I think I couldn’t love another Pamela Fagan Hutchins novel more, along comes Ava.” 
  Ava Butler dreams of giving her daughter a better life—one built on island pop songs, late-night gigs, and a breakout moment that changes everything. When a temporary office job turns into a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a New York record deal, Ava is finally ready to chase her future. 
  Then she finds a dead body outside her office building. 
  The victim is a sex worker Ava recognizes instantly: her childhood friend. Horrified and grieving, Ava is torn between pursuing her long-awaited musical breakthrough and seeking justice for the woman no one else seems to care about. 
  When another friend is killed, Ava realizes the murders may be tied to a shared trauma she’s spent her entire life running from. As the pressure mounts, her relationship with her cop boyfriend collapses, forcing Ava to confront the pain—and the secrets—that could cost her love, her career, and her life. 
  Before Ava can step into the spotlight, she must face the darkness of her past and unmask a killer who’s getting closer with every song she sings. 
  Bombshell is the first book in the Ava Butler Trilogy—a sexy, fast-paced romantic mystery and a standalone spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You super series. 
  If you like Sandra Brown or Janet Evanovich, you’ll love USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins, an up-and-coming powerhouse writer whose mysteries readers call unputdownable, spellbinding, and fast-paced.

  Those weasels are up to something... 
  Between them, Bernard and Melody Earls have looks, charm, brains . . . everything but money. That's why they steal from the rich and give to themselves. So when Alexander Hamilton Plaskett hires them to nick a silver statuette of a pine marten from his brother Paul Revere Plaskett, they're happy to oblige. But it won't be as easy as it looks. For one thing, the little beast is guarded by Fitzroy Fortresses, the best security system money can buy. For another, the five Plaskett siblings are obnoxious buffoons. Still, a job is a job, and this one may offer more than it appears. 
  At least, that's Bernard's theory. The pine marten isn't particularly valuable, so why do the Plasketts contest its ownership so fiercely? To find out, he and Melody insinuate themselves into the Plasketts' world and enlist a college geek to hack the unhackable Fitzroy system. Failure means poverty. Discovery means prison. And the biggest obstacle to Bernard's brilliant schemes? Melody's penchant for running off-script!

  Shadow's Mystery

  When the dead can't speak, the shadows whisper their secrets. 
  There’s never a dull moment on Shadow Island, especially for its small but growing sheriff’s department. This time, Sheriff Rebecca West, along with new deputy Viviane Darby, discover a man hanging from the rafters of the caretaker’s shed at Oceanview Cemetery. 
  Does death follow Rebecca? Or does she attract it? 
  The scene suggests suicide—an unlocked padlock, a rope, a toppled bench, and the lifeless body. The plot thickens when they unearth the fact that the man’s high school love and former wife, claimed by cancer, lies buried close by. Surely, the man took his own life. 
  Rebecca’s gut says otherwise. 
  When she investigates the dead cybersecurity expert’s office the next day and interrupts a burglary in progress, things are suddenly not so cut and dried. Now they’re looking for a murderer—one who’s gone to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks and make the victim’s death look like a suicide. 
  And he isn’t finished. 
  A cybersecurity expert could make a lot of enemies. The next "suicide" victim had only one. And Rebecca must find and stop him before he strikes again. 
  From the staggering beginning to the unpredictable conclusion, Shadow’s Darkness—the tenth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a reminder that sometimes, the answers lie in embracing the shadows, because everyone has a hidden side.

  An engineer, Victor Hatherley, attends Dr Watson's surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherley had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. Hatherley was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "crust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped.
