Murder on the Ghost Walk
An Ashley Wilkes Mystery (3rd in series)
Home to some of the Old South's most famous ghost walks, historic Wilmington's "haunted" mansions delight thrill seekers and the curious alike. For Ashley Wilkes, newly commissioned to work as historic preservationist on one of Orange Street's stunning antebellum homes, it's not ghosts she tangles with, but actual dead bodies.
Two skeletons—possibly the remains of owners believed to have left town suddenly and under strange circumstances—have added more spice to the season. Ashley starts poking around, suspecting there is more to the grisly discovery than meets the eye. As she digs into the walls and the mystery, she finds shocking clues that tell her a killer is poised and ready to strike … before she uncovers the scandalous truth at the heart of the crime.

Living With Your Kids Is Murder
A Paul Jacobson Mystery (2nd in series)
Octogenarian Paul Jacobson trades his retirement community for a new life in Denver, Colorado, with his son, Denny. Still cantankerous, trouble-prone and short-term-memory challenged, Paul is now a "person of interest" in two murders—mostly because he happened to be the only person around when the bodies were found. The first victim, a real-estate salesman, was slumped dead next to Paul on the flight to Denver. Paul stumbles over the second body in a local community center's parking lot.
Both victims were related to a big developer in the area, and both had the bad luck to be involved in something dangerous. Despite the due diligence of detectives, it's Paul and his intrepid granddaughter, Jennifer, who uncover the true motive and close in on a killer about to get away with murder.

Probable Claws
A Theda Krakow Mystery (4th in series)
A reporter for the Boston music scene, Theda Krakow has another serious passion—all things feline. So when her good friend Violet, owner of a shelter for stray cats, tells her someone has contaminated the pet food, Theda digs into the matter. The crime turns murderous—and incriminating—when the shelter vet is found stabbed with a scalpel, and Theda is discovered next to the woman's body. Accused of murder, Theda is out on bail, out of a job and racing to clear her name.
Convinced animal-shelter politics and recent threats may have played a role in the kibble poisoning, Theda can't help but suspect the vet's murder was related to a more personal human drama. But with the law closing in—and a killer stalking the streets—her game of cat and mouse is poised to take a deadly turn.
