Chris Martin's personal life may be looking up now that her two-timing husband has moved out — and her lover has moved in. But her life as a reporter on the local rag is in the doldrums, with a lost cat the high spot of her day. Until she lands an interview with Rick Monday, a local boy who found fame as a rock star in the seventies. Though the interview is a major disappointment, the follow-up is dynamite. Monday is found with an ornamental dagger in his chest and Chris was one of the last people to see him alive.

Determined not to let the biggest story of her career get away, Chris defies her editor and the police by conducting her own investigation into the murder. She pursues the trail as it leads her through the seedy world of rock music and into a web of family lies and secrets. But the price for this big story could be her life.

Social worker Whitney Wentworth is missing. No one is concerned except Jennifer Penny, coffee roaster. One of the residents at the group home where Whitney works was caught smashing her windshield with a bat. Did he hit Whitney, too? And maybe dispose of her body?

When Jennifer's boyfriend, police detective Jerry Decker, discovers Whitney's cell phone with a curiously coded list of names, the two become embroiled in their own investigation of possible blackmail. It appears that the number of suspects involved in Whitney's disappearance has just increased dramatically — and one of them is a candidate for governor.

Stepping her perfect Jimmy Choos into place beside Ben Gallagher's wounded Nikes, straitlaced Philadelphia lawyer Catherine Barrington is surprisingly unable to resist the disarming small-town mechanic's charm. He's one of the heirs to the vast fortune left by his eccentric grandfather Max, a bestselling horror writer, and she's there to carry out Max's last wishes. Routine enough … except that inheriting comes with a catch: none of Max's heirs will get a penny until they've lived together for two weeks in the shadow-filled rooms of his mansion in the wooded hills near Lake Superior.

From beyond the grave, a letter from Max insists that his death was no accident, sending Catherine undercover — and way out of her comfort zone — to catch the killer. Posing as Lexie, Ben's cocktail waitress girlfriend, Catherine soon finds herself trapped with the feuding clan at the sinister Nevermore manor. To save her own life, she'll have to confront the murderer, as well as her growing attraction to Ben — a top suspect.

Even though Agatha Raisin loathes amateur dramatics, her friend Mrs. Bloxby, the vicar's wife, has persuaded her to support the local pantomime. Stifling a yawn at the production of "Babes in the Woods", Agatha watches the baker playing an ogre strut and threaten on the stage, until a trapdoor opens and the Ogre disappears in an impressive puff of smoke. Only he doesn't re-appear at final curtain.

Surely this isn't the way the scene was rehearsed? When it turns out the popular baker has been murdered, Agatha puts her team of private detectives on the case. They soon discover more feuds and temperamental behavior in amateur theatrics than in a professional stage show — and face more and more danger as the team gets too close to the killer.
