Detective Winston Radhauser has faced darkness before, but nothing prepares him for the night his own children are taken. When his 14-month-old twins vanish from their ranch near Ashland, Oregon, Radhauser and his wife, Gracie, are thrust into a frantic race for answers.

The kidnapper, shattered by grief, is convinced their children are meant to be hers and she will stop at nothing.

As Radhauser follows a twisting trail that leads to Boulder, Colorado, he knows the stakes couldn’t be higher. With each passing hour, the danger grows, and he soon faces an unthinkable choice—one that will force him to let his children die or risk everything to save them.

Suspenseful, emotional, and deeply moving, A Harbor of Hope is a gripping tale of loss, redemption, and the unwavering strength of a father’s love.

Murder At The Maplewood Hall by Erin Macy

Murder At The Maplewood Hall by Erin Macy

A Cancelled Class. A Closed Curtain. And a Killer Hiding in Plain Sight.

Ivy Sinclair arrives at Maplewood Hall to report on the cancellation of classes. Instead, she finds a body behind the stage curtain.

Ivy is a former Chicago journalist now writing for a small-town paper. She can’t ignore details others overlook. The victim left behind threats, grudges, and financial pressure.

Watson, her loyal beagle, won’t stop sniffing around the stage doors. Alice, her cookie-baking neighbor, supplies gossip and steady advice. They help Ivy uncover the truth behind Maplewood Hall’s fundraiser.

The front-desk clerk argued with the treasurer hours before his murder. She looks guilty. The raffle coordinator and the treasurer fought over missing funds from the fundraiser. She looks guilty, too.

Because the closer Ivy gets to the truth, the more someone wants her silenced—and she may be the next target.

The Case at Barton Manor: A 1920s Murder Mystery (Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates – Book 1)

About The Case at Barton Manor: A 1920s Murder Mystery (Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates – Book 1)

Nothing like a dead body to ruin a good party…
If one more person gives Rosemary Lillywhite unwanted advice on when to stop mourning the loss of her beloved husband, she fears she will lose control of her sensibilities.
All she wants is to be left alone to drown her misery in a glass of gin and tonic, but when Grace Barton knocks on the door of her dead husband’s investigative office, Rosemary faces a choice: come out of hiding or turn away someone in need of help.
As Grace recounts her tale of intrigue, Rosemary discovers a shared connection with the woman that has her accepting an invitation she’d just as soon turn down.
With her best friend, bright young thing Vera Blackburn, by her side, Rosemary trades her widow weeds for a party dress and heads to a fancy do at Barton Manor.
The drinks flow freely, but there’s an undercurrent of unease until, finally, the night ends in murder – one in which Rosemary’s brother becomes the prime suspect!
What’s worse, the handsome chief inspector on the case is a man she knows well: he was her husband’s best mate, and he takes a dim view of lady detectives – or perhaps just of Rosemary becoming one.
What will it take for Rosemary to solve the crime before her brother hangs for a murder he didn’t commit?

Room 122

About Room 122

Is there a connection between the unsolved fatal stabbing of an Irish criminal in a west of Ireland hotel in 1971 and the murder of a CIA operative in a Dublin City hotel during US President Reagan’s 1984 visit to Ireland?

In the summer of 1972, eighteen-year-old Tommy Walsh takes a holiday bar job in the Swan Hotel. There he meets Marian, an eighteen-year-old art student, who moved south with her mother after her dad died when the family’s Belfast pub was firebombed during a sectarian riot. Tommy instantly falls in love, and remains in love even though Marian proves elusive and doesn’t stay in touch after her career as a globe-trotting photo journalist takes off.

Tommy initially thrives in the hospitality industry, and while working in Limerick, Dublin and Galway, sometimes encounters Mike Horgan – a former colleague at the Swan hotel – who has become a Garda. As a person of interest in the Dublin murder, Tommy Walsh’s life descends into chaos just as Horgan’s police career sees him achieve the rank of Detective Inspector. Horgan continues to play a pivotal role as the plot develops towards its climax.

This is a story of friendship, love, loss, revenge, murder and international politics, which spans a quarter century of Tommy Walsh’s life. It deals the personal and professional cost to Tommy Walsh through years of hounding by the American secret service, and Irish and international media, to a backdrop of the Irish Troubles, and decades of far-flung international conflicts.

Warm Regards,

Heavy Metal Murder by Kristen Andrews

Heavy Metal Murder by Kristen Andrews

Jessica Byrne’s a rookie PI with an attitude, an overactive sweet tooth, and big problems. She’s got two clients—and one of them is dead. Wealthy Daniel Lakeland is chilling at the morgue, and her other client, sketchy Vlad, is cooling in the clink, charged with Daniel’s murder.

Despite his less than stellar reputation, Jessica thinks Vlad’s innocent. She’s got to find the real killer before Vlad goes up the river for good, the real killer goes free, and her fledgling business flatlines. Jessica’s got backup—her best friend and business partner Sam, a paranormal investigator who swears her Ouija board knows more than the cops do. Jessica’s case collides with her heartthrob ex and main rival, PI Max O’Conner, and they’re forced to team up and beat the weird streets of Pottstown, Pennsylvania—a town overflowing with secrets and trouble.

On the hunt for the killer, they’ll bend the law, dodge gangsters with a fast food habit, go undercover at an ’80s party, and try (and fail) to keep their chemistry under control.

Snark, sparks, and small-town scandal. This mystery proves that sometimes the dead aren’t the only ones haunting you. For fans of Janet Evanovich, Darynda Jones and Jess Lourey.

Witch Slap

About Witch Slap

Never let your brother date a witch, lest they get turned into a talking cat.

Morgan Winters wants an ordinary life:

A job at a bookstore, an apartment she can barely afford, and a healthy amount of existential dread. Her brother (AKA “The Ruiner”) ruins that when he shows up on her bedroom windowsill, transformed into a talking cat.

He claims it’s due to a date gone horribly wrong, but Morgan’s not buying it. Still, when he begs her to take him to a witch who can change him back into a human, she reluctantly agrees. Family is family.

When they arrive in Hollowbeck – a suspiciously small and suspiciously magical town – they find the witch.

Only she’s dead.

And there’s a letter left behind – with Morgan’s name on it.
Even though no one knew she was coming.

Morgan could run. She could hide. But she’s not the type. She’s determined to stick her nose into the middle of the supernatural, figure out who left her the letter, find the murderer – and hopefully sort out Ruiner’s cat problem before he leaves another hairball on the rug.

Witch Slap is the first book in The Hollowbeck Paranormal Cozy Mysteries series from Amelia Ash and bestselling author Kim M. Watt. Join Morgan and Ruiner as they explore a small town full of magic, mystery, and murder.
