The Blood Ballad by Rett MacPherson

The Blood Ballad by
A Torie O'Shea Mystery (11th in series)

The roots of her family tree get tangled in murder when New Kassel, Missouri, genealogist Torie O'Shea discovers shocking information about her fiddler grandfather, John Robert Keith. Not only did he have ties to a popular Ozark Depression-era band called the Morgan Family Players, but he apparently wrote many of the songs, for which he received no credit. Before Torie can sort out fact from fiction, she stumbles upon the body of a Morgan descendant, grandson Cliff Weaver, beaten to death and stuffed in an old trunk.

Adding to the grim discovery, Torie receives a CD mailed to her by the victim before he died. On it is a blood ballad that tells the tale of the murder of Belle Morgan, who disappeared years earlier. And when the song leads Torie to Belle's remains, Torie races to solve murders past and present … as family ties become deadly.

Secrets Dark and Deep by Anne White

Secrets Dark and Deep by
A Lake George Mystery (4th in series)

Fall has arrived in the beautiful Lake George resort town of Emerald Point—and with it comes a murder mystery as old as a deadly secret. Mayor Loren Graham is pulled into the tangled mess, despite the local sheriff's orders to stick to politics, when a neighbor drags her to the ruins of an old home, where a woman's skeleton lies half-buried.

Local residents, including a newly returned travel writer who left town amidst scandal many years before, and Loren's own reclusive neighbor, understand the significance of the body—identified as a college girl who disappeared twenty-five years earlier. Soon Loren is pulled into the dark past…and the haunting present, where a killer waits to strike. Because some secrets are still worth killing for—and, worse, Loren is about to discover why.

Marked by Fate by Laura Bradford

Marked by Fate by
A Jenkins and Burns Mystery (3rd in series)

Newspaper reporter Elise Jenkins enrolls in a journalism class and finds herself interpreting a strange story of murder when her teacher, Hannah Daltry, is found strangled. What makes the case unusual is that more than three decades ago, when Hannah was just seven, she witnessed a bank robbery by hiding under a desk. Two of the robbers were killed, and one escaped. Is Hannah's murder related to this thirty-five-year-old crime? Or to something else entirely?

Elise's fiancé, detective Mitch Burns, is working all the angles, but it's Elise's nose for a story that leads her through the twists and turns of the mystery—and the secrets that surround Hannah's life…and death. Convinced the killer is someone in the writing class, Elise follows her instincts, connecting the dots of yesterday's crime to the modern face of a killer.
