About: In this Sunny & Shadow Mystery from the
New York Times bestselling author of Last Licks, a fat-cat wedding is making
waves in Kittery Harbor, Maine. Political heiress Priscilla Kingsbury is about to marry Carson de Kruk, son
of business mogul Augustus de Kruk, at the Kingsburys’ waterfront compound.
For reporter Sunny Coolidge, an assignment from the Harbor Courier to cover
the event is like catnip. But when Sunny photographs men pulling the body of a dead woman out of the
water, the Kingsburys’ private security isn’t happy. They claim the woman’s
death was an accident, but the story seems fishy. Now, with a little help
from her police officer boyfriend and her cunning cat Shadow, Sunny is
determined to get the scoop on a killer.

About: New York Times bestselling author Lorna Barrett
is back in town—Booktown, that is—with another page-turning mystery. This
time bookstore owner Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, put their own
problems on the shelf to catch a killer who turns a bookcase into a murder
weapon. Cranky Chamber of Commerce receptionist Betsy Dittmeyer is done reading
people the riot act. After she’s crushed by a fallen bookcase, the next item
to be read is her last will and testament—which is packed with surprises. It
soon comes to light that Betsy was hiding volumes of dark secrets behind
that perpetual frown of hers—and one of them just might have been a motive
for murder. While Tricia tries to help Angelica—the newly elected Chamber of Commerce
president and Betsy’s boss—solve the mystery, she discovers a hidden chapter
in her own family history that rocks her to her very core. And with her ex-
husband and the chief of police vying for her affections, it’s doubly hard
to focus on who might have buried Betsy in a tomb of tomes. But as Tricia and Angelica try to read between the lines, they need to watch
their step-and make sure the killer doesn’t catch them between the stacks.

About: You never know what treasures can be found in
someone's attic. Unfortunately for bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright, some of
them are worth killing for. Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be appearing on the San Francisco edition
of the hit TV show This Old Attic as a rare-book expert and appraiser. Her
first subject is a very valuable first-edition copy of the classic
children's story The Secret Garden, which is owned by a flower vendor named
Vera. Once she hears what her book is worth, Vera is eager to have Brooklyn
recondition it for resale. But after the episode airs, a furious man
viciously accosts Brooklyn, claiming that Vera found the first edition at
his garage sale, and he wants it back-or else. Brooklyn is relieved that
she's put The Secret Garden in a safe place, but Randolph Rayburn, the
handsome host of This Old Attic, is terrified by the man's threats. He
confides in Brooklyn that he fears he is being stalked. He doesn't know who
might have targeted him, or why. In the days that follow, several violent incidents occur on the set, and
Brooklyn is almost killed, leaving both her and her security expert
boyfriend, Derek, shaken. Is someone after Brooklyn and the book? Or has
Randolph's stalker become more desperate? And then Brooklyn visits Vera's
flower shop-and discovers her dead. Is the murderer one of the two obvious
suspects, or is something more sinister-even bizarre-going on? Brooklyn had
better find the clever killer soon or more than her chance at prime time may
be canceled-permanently.

About: This show cat is a no-show.... The one thing celebrity Trish Barrymore and her no-account accountant
husband, Mort, can agree on in their bitter divorce is shared cat custody.
But when Mort is found brained by a mahogany cat tower, and Justine, their
pedigreed Chartreux show cat, goes missing, Trish calls on Helen and Phil.
Despite a ransom note from the catnapper, Trish is still the prime murder
suspect in the eyes of the police. As they await the post-Mort-em, it’s up
to Helen and Phil to find the feline filcher and let the cat out of the bag. Discovering that Mort had some shady dealings within cat show circles, Helen
goes undercover as an assistant for a woman who shows prizewinning Persians.
But Phil is not buying Trish’s cat-that-swallowed-a-canary act—he thinks she
might be staging the whole catnapping. As Helen and Phil get deeper into a high-pressure world of primping, posing,
and purring to collar a killer, they get caught up in a cat-and-mouse game
where the stakes are literally life and death....
