Sarah Grayson and her feline ally, Elvis, get a chance to see if their sleuthing skills are up to scratch in the sixth installment of the New York Times bestselling Second Chance Cat Mysteries.

It’s fall in North Harbor, Maine, where Sarah owns a charming secondhand shop and sells lovingly refurbished items of all kinds. The shop is always bustling–and not just because a quirky team of senior-citizen detectives works out of it and manages to get in even more trouble than Sarah’s rough-and-tumble rescue cat, Elvis.

A cold case heats up when young Mallory Pearson appears at the shop. Mallory’s father is in prison for negligence after her stepmother’s mysterious death, but Mallory believes he is innocent and asks the in-house detectives to take on the case. With Sarah and Elvis lending a paw, the detectives decide to try to give Mallory’s father a second chance of his own.  (Amazon)

Bill Slider and his team investigate the death of a prominent literary agent in this intriguing contemporary mystery.

When one of London’s best-known literary agents is found dead in strange circumstances, having fallen headlong from his office window, DCI Slider is under pressure from the Borough Commander to confirm a case of accidental death. But when the evidence points to murder, Slider and his team find themselves uncovering some decidedly scandalous secrets in the suave and successful Ed Wiseman’s past.

An embittered ex-wife. A discarded mistress. A frustrated would-be author. A disgruntled former employee. Many had reason to hold a grudge against the late lamented literary agent. But who would feel strongly enough to kill him? Any leads in the investigation seem only to result in more questions – not least of which is the identity of the elusive Calliope Hunt. Who is she – and what is her connection to the train of events?  (Amazon)

Bonnie and her mom face the worst mystery of their lives – how many carbs do they really eat a day? That and the only guy in their diet group has been found dead… by Connie.

While some of the members are worried about the group’s national status in the dieting organization, others – Bonnie and Connie in particular – are worried about Connie being pinned as the killer.

The temptation of rice pudding served at brunch is strong!

Not as strong as the danger of a determined ex-husband who is out to nail Connie as the murderer.

Bonnie and her mom have to use family resources to prove Connie is innocent, because going to jail when you didn’t do anything is worse than death. Or so they’ve heard.

Can this mother and daughter team defeat the demons of dieting as well as discover who the killer is before the handcuffs slip into place?
