Snowhedge
Non-series
After an arsonist sets fire to her kennels and her business partner steals her man, show dog breeder Susanna Kentwood heads for the small northern Michigan town of Maple Creek. House-sitting for a relative at a rambling old manor called Snowhedge promises a safe haven. She wants some time to think and regroup. Instead, she's led into a mystery from the past … and a killer's trap.
Something is disturbing about the old house, especially the unnaturally cold parlor, a room in which Susanna swears she sees ghosts. Is she losing her mind, or being lured into the tragedy of the manor's previous owner? Fascinated by clues to the past, Susanna is unaware that danger has followed her to Snowhedge. Suddenly there's nowhere to hide from an enemy intent on murderous vengeance—and who vows that this time, there will be no escape.

Murder at St. Polycarp
Non-series
When seventh-grade teacher Mildred Pinkerton is found dead before first period, it's another headache for St. Polycarp's beleaguered principal, Father Felix. Especially when two teachers suspect Mildred was murdered. They've got an empty bottle of pills and a motive: Miss Pinkerton was suspicious of something—or someone—rotten at the school.
The victim had requested a meeting to discuss an important matter. Instead, she ended up facedown in her morning coffee. Searching for clues, Julia Hopwood and Amelia Johnston try to connect a series of strange events. The cookie sale money is missing; there's a suspicious new math teacher; and another teacher is hiding a criminal past. When a second death occurs, it's clear a killer plans to teach a lesson in murder that St. Polycarp won't soon forget.
