It doesn’t matter where you are, what century you live in, or what culture you
embrace, you will always find a woman on a mission—to better her life, help
loved ones accomplish goals, or improve her community; she is driven to make a
difference. This week I have three women ready to put evil in it’s place. After
all, crime cannot be solved by man alone—but maybe, a woman hell-bent on finding
the truth will do.
Elizabeth
Harris
With its peaceful, hardworking Amish population, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, is a rural paradise. But former NYPD homicide detective Elizabeth
Harris knows that evil lurks there—it’s just easier to hide...
By solving the murders of two local girls, Elizabeth has gained some trust in
the Amish community. So, she’s the first person its members turn to when a fast
and fatal illness takes hold, though many believe that the sickness stems from a
hexerei—a curse placed by a practitioner of old-world folk magic.
Elizabeth doesn’t believe in curses, and when an entire Amish family is found
dead, she begins to suspect something far more sinister...
As the CDC is called in to investigate, customers of a Philadelphia farmers
market selling Amish raw milk start dying. Amid rapidly escalating panic,
Elizabeth must peel away layers of superstition and fear to save the
livelihood—and lives—of an entire community. Because what has happened isn’t an
accident of nature or an act of God, it’s the handiwork of someone who has only
just begun to kill...

Royal Spyness
Mystery #10
Nothing is simple when you’re thirty-fifth in line for the British crown,
least of all marriage. But with love on their side, and plans to elope, Lady
Georgiana Rannoch and her beau Darcy O’Mara hope to bypass a few royal
rules...
With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motor car, I soon discover
that he isn’t planning to introduce me to the pleasures of sinning in secret—as
I had hoped—but to make me his wife!
Of course, there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing
special permission from the King to marry a Roman Catholic and the question of
where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy
is as broke as I am. Even his family’s Irish castle has been sold to a rich
American who now employes Darcy’s father as a hired hand.
Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our
mission—except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just been
arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered and Darcy’s father had more
than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement postponed, we head for
Ireland where he insists he’s innocent, and it’s up to us to prove it—for better
or worse.

Mystery of Old
San Francisco #2
The author of NO COMFORT FOR THE LOST returns with a new mystery of Old
San Francisco...
British-born nurse Celia Davies runs a free medical clinic to assist the poor
women of San Francisco. Aided in her endeavors by her half-Chinese cousin
Barbara and feisty housekeeper Addie, Celia has earned the trust and friendship
of many of the city’s downtrodden, including a young orphan named Owen—who’s
just confided to her that he’s stumbled upon a corpse.
Owen recently started working for the ruthless real estate and development
group, Martin and Company, and discovered a dead body in the office’s basement.
Celia turns to Detective Nick Greaves for help, only to learn that one of the
main suspects—the husband of Celia’s dearest friend—is an old enemy of Nick’s.
Now, Celia and Nick must put aside their personal feelings about the case—and
each other—if they’re going to bring a killer to justice...
