Bill watches "Pawn Stars" on TV and mows his lawn while Piper shops for clothes and solves crossword puzzles. One sunny June afternoon, Emily Davenport, who lives in California, telephones Bill and asks if he'll check on her elderly mother Anna living next door to the Robinses. She hasn't answered Emily's repeated attempts to call. After Bill and Piper go over, they discover Anna lies murdered in her bed. The only found clue is her bloodstained gingham bathrobe. Appalled and even more outraged, Piper persuades Bill to become wife-and-husband amateur sleuths, and they set out to find Anna's killer.

Meantime, Bill's younger sister Noreen, a retired CPA, joins the Robinses' investigation. She taps her ex-cop boyfriend Rick Novak and her mysterious, opinionated tuxedo tomcat Snoozy Q for support. While the city homicide detectives run their official investigation, the skillful snoops Piper, Bill, and Noreen train their sights on four murder suspects.

Monk and Natalie have finally settled into a new office routine. Now they just need to work things out with their neighbors — a print shop run by hippies whose music leaks through the walls, driving Monk nuts. But the detectives soon have a more serious conflict to deal with: Captain Stottlemeyer's new lieutenant, A.J. Cartledge — a man of limited skills whom Monk finds insufferable.

Even the presence of Lieutenant Cartledge won't keep Monk and Natalie from attending the funeral of Judge Oberlin, and it's a good thing. In typical fashion, Monk examines the body in the casket — and finds evidence of poison. The judge was murdered.

While there are no traces of the poison at the judge's house, Monk detects that there had been an intruder. The next rainy day, when Captain Stottlemeyer begins to show the same symptoms, Monk deduces that there's a diabolical killer at work, someone who wanted both the judge and the captain dead. Monk and Natalie turn to the captain's ex-lieutenant in Summit, New Jersey for help, but even that might not be enough to solve this crime. With his friend in danger and an enemy close, Monk will have to put his reservations aside to crack the case in time.

What do Boston, Dublin, and Sierra Leone have in common? The movement of blood diamonds at enormous profit but grave human expense: mafia killings in Boston and Ireland and child enslavement and murder in Sierra Leone. And who is ensnared in the middle of all of this — Michael Knight and Lex Devlin. Can they stop the enormously profitable trade of these tainted jewels?

They must come between the Italian mafia in North Boston and the Irish mafia in South Boston including some remnants of the IRA in Ireland. They must also pit themselves against the enslaved and deadly child-army in Sierra Leone, who smuggle these diamonds into the mainstream for cash to buy weapons and drugs. At great personal risk, Knight and Devlin struggle to find a solution that satisfies this disparate combination of characters and, hopefully, dampens the diamond flow.

When a series of bizarre murders based on major trumps of the Tarot rocks the usually staid city of Christchurch, the panel members of radio show The Psychic Connection are drawn into the case when it seems panel member James Myerson may be involved — or even the murderer.

Detective Sergeant Declan Kelly arrives in Christchurch, on sick leave after being wounded during a stakeout in Queensland, and adds his weight to the Psychic Connection panel's investigation of what the press is calling the Tarot Murders. The murderer's calling card, The Magician, left with each new victim, offers a sinister clue to the killer's identity — if only the panel can solve it in time to prevent the death of one of its own members.

Huckleberry Fiend by Julie Smith, Amazon Kindle format

This title was listed for free as of January 10, 2015 at 7:00 AM ET.

The most priceless American manuscript in existence has unceremoniously dropped into Paul Mcdonald's hands — now what?

In between much-needed therapy sessions, Paul's neurotic friend Booker the burglar stole it from his dad's girl friend's roommate, and now wants sometime-sleuth Paul to find its rightful owner. Because he's pretty sure the roommate's not it.

Paul is so awed he can hardly bring himself to touch it. It's none other than the missing holograph of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. And Beverly the roommate's no librarian, she's a flight attendant, so Booker suspects chicanery. He's only too right: Beverly, it turns out, is dead. Murdered for the manuscript, if Paul's guess is right.

It's truly a murder, a mystery, and a marriage … no, not a marriage, a manuscript! But Paul does have his eye on tough and savvy Sardis Kincannon …

Price: $3.99 (as of 01/09/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

An Open Window by Roger Ormerod, Amazon Kindle format

As Amelia Patton approaches a caravan parked in their usual spot, it explodes, killing the woman inside. As she recovers in a hospital near the Welsh coast, she learns that she is the residual legatee in her uncle's will. As she cannot attend the reading herself, her husband, ex-Detective Inspector Richard Patton, drives to the Midlands on her behalf.

He finds that the word "residual" can be extremely deceptive, and that the will is bound to provoke trouble between the children of Amelia's eccentric uncle, Walter Mann, who died just two days after signing the new will. Richard is intrigued by this: Walter had become a virtual recluse and locked himself away in his rooms. But when he was found, having fallen from the third-story window and through the roof of his conservatory, the key for the door was on its chain around his neck. Was it suicide? In which case — why? Or if it was murder, as Patton believes, how had the culprit entered the room? And why the open window?

Faced with enmity and suspicion, and strongly discouraged from intervening by the police, controversies over shares in the family business, and a drama of love and betrayal, all make this one of Richard's most difficult cases yet — especially with him hundreds of miles away from the hospitalised Amelia, and wondering whether the caravan explosion was in fact intended for her …
