When the 72-year-old convinces her long time friend and neighbor, 68-year-old Eloise Mueller, to take a road trip with her in search of the best southern food across the nation, the two quirky women are in for a treat.

But their plans will have to change when they get wrapped up in a mystery to find a waitress's missing daughter.

These aren't your typical sleuths, and their good humor and sarcastic banter might be the key to solving this case … and having some great meals along the way.

Ghastly Hijinks by Madison Johns

An Agnes Barton Paranormal Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Outrageous Books

Price: 99¢ (as of 10/23/2016 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

See all five mysteries in the popular Agnes Barton Paranormal Series for $2.99 or less each on Kindle. The 1st book in the series, Haunted Hijinks, is currently FREE!

Life for Agnes has been spooktacular ever since a ghost named Caroline became attached to her. Caroline was killed in the 1930s and now she assists Agnes and her partner Eleanor on cases. (Well, Caroline assists when she doesn't fade away.) Okay, so Caroline's not really attached bodily to Agnes, but the spirit usually helps out with things like opening doors for the sleuths. At least that's the case until Caroline goes into a Victorian mansion and never returns.

When Agnes and Eleanor finally go into the mansion themselves, they encounter a ghost — but this one isn't Caroline. This ghost has a gun and he looks like a mobster! He's holding Caroline hostage and refuses to release her — and he also restrains Agnes and Eleanor. Then he suddenly disappears, taking Caroline with him.

As if that isn't enough, Agnes and Eleanor find a corpse while checking out a house down the road. Why is there a mummified body in a dilapidated house? And why does the house get burned to the ground when they begin to ask questions?

This might be a case for the record books as the ladies track down the truth, determined to discover not just the origins of the ghost, but also where the body came from — and who is to blame.

It is November, 1929. The stock market has crashed. The Roaring Twenties are about to end. But Cyrus Skeen, private detective, is not too concerned. He never bought on margin or gambled on "sure things" to make a quick buck; his wealth is secure. But many businessmen and investors made that mistake and have been bankrupted. Ruined, some have committed suicide. But not all have jumped from their office windows to end it all.

Lucian Maxey, president of Maxey Motors in San Francisco, seems to have committed suicide by putting a gun to his head. The medical examiner and police have written off the death as a suicide. Eugene Maxey, his son, a professor at Stanford University, hires Skeen to prove that his father was murdered. But then Skeen discovers that the man who hired him is not the real Eugene Maxey, but an imposter. Skeen is drawn into a bizarre conspiracy that leads to a twisting trail of lies, half-truths, England, and an organization with ties to the burgeoning Nazi Party in Germany.

Darina, too, is under suspicion and determines to clear her name by revealing the murderer's true identity.

New Yorked by Rob Hart

An Ash McKenna Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Polis Books

Price: 99¢ (as of 10/23/2016 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

Ash McKenna is a blunt instrument. Find someone, scare someone, carry something; point him at the job, he gets it done. He generally accepts money upon completion, though a bottle of whiskey works, too — he's comfortable working on a barter system. It's not the career he dreamed about (archeologist) but it keeps him comfortable in his ever-changing East Village neighborhood.

That's until Chell, the woman he loves, leaves him a voicemail looking for help — a voicemail he gets two hours after her body is found. Ash hunts for her killer with the grace of a wrecking ball, running afoul of a drag queen crime lord and stumbling into a hard-boiled role playing game that might be connected to a hipster turf war.

Along the way, he's forced to face the memories of his tumultuous relationship with Chell, his unresolved anger over his father's death, and the consequences of his own violent tendencies.

Peter Shand is the 'safe pair of hands' — a high-flying police administrator seconded to a quiet rural CID team to gain the operational experience he needs for promotion. On his second day he's thrust into a high-profile murder case. A woman's body is discovered in an old stone circle — with another woman buried alive beneath her.

The pressure on Shand is enormous. The media is clamoring for answers, but everything about the case is baffling. Then a local journalist singles out Shand as the reason for the lack of progress, and goads him at a press conference. Shand responds by inventing a lead, and keeps on lying — to the press, his boss, his team — telling himself that he'll solve the case before anyone finds out.

And then another murder occurs. And had there been a third?

Shand begins to doubt his ability. He's desperate, increasingly unpredictable, pursued by an amorous psychic, and somehow gaining a reputation for arresting livestock.

Which will break first? The case, or Shand?
