  Heading for the French Rivieria, recently retired detective Hercule Poirot boards Le Train Bleu in London. This luxury trip, however, quickly turns south—in more ways than one. When the train arrives in Nice, France, American heiress Ruth Kettering is found murdered, and the Heart of Fire ruby that just came into her possession from her father has vanished in an apparent robbery. Add in a jilted husband, a secret lover, and a supposed curse on the missing gemstone, and it's a mystery that just might lure Poirot from his supposed retirement.

  If there was one thing I'd learned over the last few months, it was that absolutely nothing lasted forever. 
   
   
   
  Which was probably why I'd been so surprised when Hunter announced he was staying in Portland. I couldn't help but think, and hope, that it had something to do with me, a forty-year-old divorcee who was half witch and half fae. 
   
   
   
  Or maybe that was just a pipe dream. 
   
   
   
  Either way, a new hunk isn't the only thing that's changed in my life within the last forty-eight hours. For starters, I freed an elf from prison based solely on the fact that he knew my grandfather's name. And then that elf promptly had some sort of magical heart attack, leaving me to wonder just what the heck is going on in the world of the fae. 
   
   
   
  I won't have to wait too long to get answers, though. In fact, they're coming at me more quickly than I can even think.

  🌽 The annual Harvest Festival at Old Mill Farm is a beloved tradition, complete with pumpkin patches, apple cider, and a famously intricate corn maze. But the festivities take a terrifying turn when the farm's owner, a man with a knack for making enemies, is found dead in the center of the maze, propped up like a scarecrow. The police suspect a tragic accident, but city-transplant-turned-farmhand Lark Lennox notices the scene is staged. The real scarecrow is missing, and a single, ominous black feather is clutched in the victim's hand. When Lark's own past connection to the victim makes her a suspect, she must navigate the twisting paths of the maze—and the even more twisted relationships in the town—to clear her name. With help from her perceptive barn cat, Husk, and the farm owner's enigmatic grandson, Lark uncovers a field of secrets. From disputed land rights and hidden family legacies to a local legend about a phantom scarecrow that supposedly haunts the cornfields, the roots of this crime run deep. As the festival reaches its climax, Lark must separate folklore from fact before the killer decides to make her the next harvest horror.

Dealing with deep themes of friendship, identity, child abuse and grief, The Green Indian Problem is, at heart, an all-too-real story of a young boy trying to find out why he's not like the other boys in his class.

  A medieval knight turned private investigator is joined by Geoffrey Chaucer in his latest case featuring "clever twists and convincing period detail" (Publishers Weekly). 
   
   
   
  Private investigator and former knight Crispin Guest faces his most complicated case yet when he witnesses a body fall from London bridge into the frigid River Thames. Though the man's death is declared a suicide, Guest sees evidence of foul play. His investigation leads him to Sir Thomas Saunfayl, an old acquaintance from his knighthood days. It seems the dead man was bargaining with Sir Thomas for the Spear of Longinus, the weapon used to pierce the side of Christ on the Cross, which grants invincibility to its owner. 
   
   
   
  After his friend Geoffrey Chaucer arrives in London, all too eager to help find the spear, Guest finds himself trying to solve a conundrum of many parts, all centered around the same dangerous and coveted relic. With evocative period detail and an unforgettable cast of characters, Blood Lance was a Kirkus Reviews "Top 10 Hot Crime Novels" of Fall 2012.
