Everyone has a past.
Our experiences can make us stronger, or they can kill us.

Meet Detective Chas Beckett, a man who gave up a family fortune in order to serve his fellow man.
His parents disapproved. His fiancé dumped him.
He left the world of elegance and privilege in which he grew up, to tackle crime. Due to a set of dark circumstances beyond his control, he’s driven away from a job that he loves, and winds up in small-town Louisiana.
Disenchanted with life, the detective meets a spunky blonde cupcake shop owner, who fancies herself to be an amateur sleuth.
Melissa Gladstone turns his life upside-down in the best possible way, and the confirmed bachelor begins to question his life choices.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll solve the crimes alongside one of the best in the business, and you’ll discover the man behind the badge, in this sweet tale of a Cozy Mystery leading man.
This snack-sized Cozy Mystery can be gobbled up in no time, and leave you hungry for more!  (Amazon)

Placed on a medical leave of absence from her job as a special agent in the National Protection and Investigation Unit, Mikala Flynn is a woman on the edge―guilt-ridden, depressed, battling war wounds and personal demons. The world and the relationships as she knew them no longer exist. Now, the streets of New York, the bottle, and anonymous sex have become her solace.

In the midst of a fire escape bender, Flynn overhears her crazy-like-a-fox grandmother and her art-world cronies planning a daring theft of a valuable historical document. Eventually Flynn crashes the party and agrees to take on the heist herself. Along the way, Flynn runs into, both literally and figuratively, her now wheelchair-bound best friend, an alluring, mysterious thief who throws multiple wrenches into the works, and the ex-love of her life.

Can Flynn pull off the job without falling victim to vodka and lost love…and somehow begin to find herself again along the way?  (Amazon)

Sometimes the truth isn’t crystal clear…

Head Witch Zoe Clarke has never believed in fate. She’s sure she’s gotten all she has through her own hard work and determination… until a traveling psychic sets up shop in Moon Grove and superstition sweeps everyone in town.

But when the seer accurately predicts the death of a prestigious client, Zoe snaps out of her spell and wonders if there’s more to the mysterious mystic than meets the eye.

From the psychic’s shadowy past to her parade of paranormal patrons, Zoe’s certain the soothsayer has something to hide — especially when her crystal ball goes missing and more of her clients meet unfortunate fates.

Will Zoe divine the identity of the culprit before they strike again? Or will this be her last case for the foreseeable future?

Crystals and Criminals is the eighth book in the Magic and Mystery series of witch cozy mysteries. If you like suspicious psychics, visionary vandals, and magical murder mysteries, then you’ll love this lighthearted eighth entry in Lily Webb’s spellbinding series.
