We all have things to do … until we die. When you die, your 'to do' list gets cancelled. Unless your corpse is prepared for burial by Meg Hargrave.

For thirteen years, Meg has prepared corpses at the Peaceful Slumber Funeral Parlor. When she prepares the corpse of a World War II veteran something extraordinary happens. She becomes aware of a task that had been weighing heavily on the man's mind and she feels compelled to finish it.

Next is a woman killed in a car crash while driving to see her suicidal brother. Meg soon finds herself determined to give him the will to live.

Each new corpse brings a new mission and she is powerless to stop it. It's a bizarre, nightmarish curse until Meg realizes that she is the last hope for these souls to rest in peace. Until she embalms the corpse of a sociopath.

Detective Dave Steere is investigating night club owner Mike McMahon. When McMahon is murdered and the evidence points to Meg, Steere's gut tells him that something isn't right. Now he has to figure out if he's tracked down a murderer, a victim … or something he can't explain.

When Peyton finds a baby abandoned in a frozen field near the border, she's pulled into a deadly conspiracy that puts everything — her life, her career, her family — at risk.

More about our featured title, below …

With the holidays gone and Hillside Manor almost empty, Innkeeper Judith McMonigle Flynn has a bad case of the blues. A housesitting stint at her aunt and uncle's retirement home on Whoopee Island with cousin Renie seems like the ideal pick-me-up. Surrounded by retirees in the off-season sounds peaceful and pleasant — or so the duo thinks. But it isn't long before a dead body pops up in their vicinity. Not surprising in an area full of older folks — until they learn it wasn't a bad ticker that did in the victim, but a very sharp knife. With clouds of suspicion hovering over her and Renie, Judith reluctantly begins sleuthing — if only to prove they didn't commit the crime.

But what she finds is puzzling. The victim reputedly didn't have an enemy in the world — except for the killer. Digging for clams and answers, the cousins discover that retirement can be deadly — at least among the eclectic, eccentric residents of Obsession Shores.

As the owners of the Raven's Nest bookstore, cousins Stephanie and Clara Quinn are the premier booksellers in the quaint town of Finn's Harbor, Maine. But with Clara's inherited ability to read minds and see the future, she's also the premier crime solver …

You don't have to be a psychic to know: The rodeo is coming to town! Clara's boyfriend, Rick Sanders, invites her to the show to meet his high school buddy and expert calf roper, Wes Carlton. But when Clara's Quinn Sense offers her a disturbing vision involving a rodeo clown, she worries that there will be more danger at the rodeo than just the traditional bucking bronco.

Of course, her premonition turns out to be accurate, and a dead body is discovered behind the concert stage, strangled by Wes's piggin' string. Rick is sure that there's no way Wes could have murdered anyone, but he's going to need Clara's Quinn Sense to keep the authorities from roping the wrong suspect …
