1920's New York City
Desmond Cooper is nursing a broken heart. He's so distraught, in fact, that his arrival in the Big Apple doesn't go as planned. Instead of living it up at The Plaza Hotel, he ends up wandering around a bad part of town and stumbling over a dead body!
Enter feisty speakeasy proprietor Imogene, a woman unlike any Desmond has ever met. She wields a pistol, drinks whisky out of a teacup, and won't settle for anything less than the truth about the murder--even if it means discovering one of her closest friends is the killer.
Will she mend Desmond's heart in the process, or leave him wondering why out of all the juice joints in the city, he had to wander into hers?
A cozy historical mystery set in Prohibition-era New York, Half Seas Over features characters from the Red Door Speakeasy Mysteries as well as the Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates Mysteries.

Scottie Ramone has been having second thoughts about a lot lately; her pastry chef job in a five-star restaurant, her looming extravagant wedding (future mom-in-law’s idea) and spending the rest of her life with Jonathan Rathbone. The one thing she has no doubts about are her plans to open a vintage bakery.
When Scottie receives a frantic, late night call from her grandmother all her dreams, second thoughts and a truly delicious banana chiffon cake are put on hold. Much to her fiancé’s chagrin, Scottie packs a bag and heads up to Grandmother Evie’s house in Ripple Creek.
A missing grandmother, a murdered neighbor and a crush from the past are just a few of the surprises waiting for Scottie in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Will she be able to sort out the chaos? Will she make it back in time for her own wedding?
Scottie knows one thing for sure; no amount of flower bouquets or yards of silk and lace will pull her away from Ripple Creek.

Match Box Murder Leslie Langtry
It’s just another weekend camping trip for ex-CIA agent Merry Wrath and her precocious Girl Scout troop. This time the girls are learning riflery, taught by Merry’s assassin friend, Hilly (who isn’t an assassin because the CIA doesn’t have assassins because that would be illegal…but she totally is). What could go wrong?
Plenty, because the creepy camp caretaker is soon found inconveniently dead behind the rifle range. Naturally, a violent storm comes out of nowhere and strands the troop with four suspect camp staffers. The scout manual explains how to keep kids safe during storms, hiking trips and the overly-enthusiastic application of matches to start a campfire, but there’s nothing on what to do when trapped in a lodge with a murderer. Can Merry unmask the killer before she and the girls get burned?

Now, Ryli, Aunt Shirley, Bevie, and Willa must spend the weekend at a treehouse resort in the middle of nowhere with three other couples. Ryli wasn't sure what was worse--Willa's catsuits and high heels, or the obnoxious behavior from one of the campers. When a dead body turns up, and the emergency phone is smashed to smithereens, Ryli takes up the mantle to try and figure out which of the remaining campers is a killer. Between hot tub soaks with strangers and sleepless nights due to Aunt Shirley's snoring, Ryli is at her wit's end. But instead of throwing up her hands--and throwing Willa over the bridge--Ryli pulls up her big-girl panties and pushes through to solve the mystery. Can Ryli and the girls figure out who the killer is before one of them is next?

Nocino Noir: A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery (Franki Amato Mysteries) Traci Andrighetti
A new coffee shop across the street from Private Chicks has PI Franki Amato’s suspicions percolating. The place is straight out of a hardboiled detective movie complete with the saxophone soundtrack and strange comings and goings. Not only that, some shady business with a walnut cappuccino has Franki wondering whether the erratic owner and his witchy nonna are real-life villains. As she delves deeper into the dubious family, Franki must uncover the identity of a femme fatale and the meaning of a deadly delivery. If she doesn’t, this noir mystery could turn Grimm fairy tale.
Nocino Noir is the latest investigation in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone story. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you’ll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti. Cheers!
