Middle-aged widow Lois has moved from bustling Toronto to tranquil Fenwater and is settling into her new life away from the dangers of the city. Then two events happen that shatter her serenity: her house is burgled and an antique watch belonging to a Titanic survivor is stolen from the local museum. Her best friend, Marge, was responsible for the watch’s safekeeping until its official presentation to the museum at the town’s 150th anniversary party, and its disappearance will jeopardise her job and the museum’s future. Lois won’t let her friend take the blame and the consequences for the theft.

The Tunnel People by R. L. Saunders Living Sensical
While Marj is helping urban archaeologists, she discovers a secret map that she has to hide from the authorities.
It tells of an underground system of tunnels that cross through mazes of paths under North America, using old limestone caves and aquifers, even connecting to the old ICBM missle bases.
It had been a long and brutal war. At the end, one side was banished underground, long decades ago. If this was true, the war may not be as over as they thought.
She enlisted Rob to help her decipher this map and explore this underground world. They have to work in secret as many of their "finds" have been known to disappear, along with the discoverers.

Another mystery was in how she died. No corpse, just an urn filled with ashes that was distributed over the harbor without any witnesses. Shown by a slick video played at her funeral.
No motive. Just a disappearance. The coroner's report from an upstate, rural county stated natural causes. For a young 20-something advertising executive.

A flash of lightning is the warning of an approaching storm. But, for Mackenzie Aldkin, the lightning can signal something far more sinister.
With her newfound abilities to hear voices after a lightning strike, Mac is once again drawn into the planning of another murder. Or, so she thinks.
Set against the backdrop of a mystery theater production she is helping to put on, Mackenzie is finding it difficult to sort out what is real, and what is pretend.
With the help of her family and friends, along with her new kitten, Shaylee - who seems to have mystical powers of her own - it becomes a race against time for Mac to understand what the voices are telling her.
Can Mac trust what she hears long enough to prevent a murder? Or, are the voices possibly leading to her own ominous end?

It Began With a Lie Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)
A fresh start. That was what Becca hoped the move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin would be for her troubled family. A way to get her crumbling marriage back on track, and to bond with her difficult 16-year-old stepdaughter.
But instead of a new beginning, Becca is thrust into a mysterious past she barely remembers. A past that includes the complications of seeing her old teenage crush Daniel as well as living in her aunt's old house (what the locals call "The Witch House.")
But is the house really haunted? Or is there something far more sinister out to destroy them?

The Case of a Cruising Phantom by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
I knew exactly why I was still here. To haunt whoever had pushed me overboard.
My only problem was finding them. And if they weren't still alive, they had relatives.
Meanwhile, I kept amused by haunting the ship's passengers and crew. And the cruise line didn't have a problem with it. Their "haunted cruises" were a big hit. Full capacity for this old boat and its evening dinner cruises out beyond the harbor.
"Misstep Mary" they called me. Even had a faded photo of me blown up and cut out so passengers could take photos with me "haunting" them. Because they ruled my death accidental. But would I still be here if it was?
So I arranged for the Ghost Hunters to show up and solve this. Otherwise, there was no peaceful 'going into the light'. Getting revenge might be all I get...

Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph who needed her help.
What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant he was going to perish out there when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow?
Regardless, she just couldn't leave him out there. And in spite of his attitude, he was kind of cute, pointy ears and all.
If only she didn't have to now fend off her farm from other very real fairy-tale creatures, like goblins and witches, and of course, more trolls...

The Case of the Sunken Spirit by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
To rescue a 12,000 year old ghost, you have to learn to breathe water.
Our next mystery to solve was the toughest yet. We thought ourselves prepared to deal with being submerged several hundred feet below the surface.
My question was how to communicate with something who was older than all civilization as we knew it. What did it have in common with our modern culture? How to talk through an energy shield built to withstand the pressures of that depth?
I didn't have long to wait after we arrived.
Because something pulled me out of that shield and wanted to talk with me right now - deep underwater, ready or not...

Angel of Death Hermione Stark
My name is Diana Bellona and I am the angel of death.
Except I can’t be, because the angel of death couldn’t be a helpless human girl kept imprisoned by a cruel family for 6 years. The only certain thing is that my dreams of death always come true.
Now I have dreamt the murder of Xander Daxx, an angelus engaged to an English princess. His murder could spark war between humans and otherkind. I risk everything to escape, only to arrive at a castle with a royal engagement party in full swing where no one wants to believe me. Worse, I find myself falling for Xander’s long-time nemesis, the mysterious Constantine Storm with his dangerous past.
Is the angel of death even supposed to save people? But I must, because the closer I get to a killer, the closer the killer gets to me.

Escape by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
Hunted by evil, her only escape was to find the light, but her broken wings couldn't carry her to safety.
Why this tiny, suffering pixie was hunted by a monster troll seemed to be a simple urge - he needed to feed off her energy to keep living.
Only a few hours to daylight, when the troll had to sleep to avoid the burning rays of sunlight, or being found by Truth-Seekers and forever imprisoned in stone. After the sun rose, she could heal herself by bathing in sunlight and escape forever.
But why was this troll out of his territory and why was he hunting her? Not just his hunger, that much was certain.
The troll needed food, but she had a secret message to deliver.
And that one message could prevent humans and fairies from losing a coming troll war...

Ghost Hunters Part One by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
It started with a dream.
In it, John Earl Stark solved the problem of a ghost he met. Or did he? It was a dream, after all.
The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small cabin and solitude so he could write his detective stories.
These ladies had another offer - to help them solve the reasons ghosts don't move on. Plenty of new inspiration for stories, decent pay, won't interrupt his writing schedule.
Of course, he could die doing it...

What You Don't Remember Can Get You Killed.
He looked into her eyes - and forgot everything about himself.
He'd done something that night, but couldn't remember.
And she had left him like that. Until she returned as a Homeland Security agent to save him from two cops who wanted him for questioning.
Now on the run, in disguise, his memory wasn't returning very fast. Josh depended on this mysterious Rosa to get and keep him out of harm's way as they travelled out of L.A. and into remote backroads of Southern California.
There's something about her Josh doesn't understand, or just doesn't remember. Yet.
To solve their situation, Josh will have to recover his lost memories.

Lady Molly of Scotland Yard by Baroness Orczy Midwest Classics Press
When her fiancee is falsely accused and the police are unable to find evidence to support his innocence, Lady Molly does the unheard of - she joins the police to improve their methods.
Lady Molly, like her fictional contemporaries, most often succeeded because she recognised domestic clues foreign to male experience. Her entry into the police is motivated by a desire to save her fiancé from a false accusation. Once her superior intuition has triumphed, Lady Molly marries and leaves the force.
This collection of short stories about Molly Robertson-Kirk was written by Baroness Orczy, who is best known as the creator of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
First published in 1910, Orczy's female detective was the precursor of the lay sleuth who relies on brains rather than brawn.

Loveday Brooks is a classic worth discovering. Lady detectives at the time of Sherlock Holmes!?! The author puts a very feminine deduction skills to work in a male-dominated period.

Sherriff Moody is just a lazy old redneck. Well, that’s what’s spray-painted on the wall of his office. He’s nobody’s favorite lawman and nobody trusts him. At least, not until the Rambo brothers rob the local casino.
Everything changes for Moody that day. When survivors of the ordeal arrive at his office and beg him to rescue a hostage, Moody is forced into a high-speed pursuit across the county. His one goal: to prove everyone wrong.
The people hate him, his deputy doubts him, and the life of a hostage hangs in the balance. Sheriff Moody only has one chance to redeem himself in this action-packed, high-octane short story exclusive to subscribers.

What wasn't working was to be anything they wanted. White, Black, Male, Female, Gay, Straight - someone was always offended, no matter what.
And now she had no choice. They had taken all she had, even her job, apartment and everything else she owned. Even her identity. Now she was a no-one.
It was only when she met a heavy-set, happy fellow who everyone liked that she got a clue what she must do to survive in these modern "tolerant" times. Whatever his secret was, she had to solve herself.
