Sinopsis

A whirlwind romance takes British sleuth Patrick Dawlish and his wife across the English Channel on the hunt for a suspected killer.   According to the widow of Patrick Dawlish’s late friend, it all happened so fast. Her daughter met a man at a party for antique dealers and, within a month, they eloped in France. Worrying about her daughter’s judgment has taken a backseat to worrying about her life. Not long ago, an almost identical situation had fatal consequences. An assistant in an antique shop left for France without warning saying she was going to get married. But then she disappeared and was found dead weeks later.   How dangerous can a favor for a friend be? Dawlish and his wife Felicity are about to find out. Tracking the young couple across France turns into a race against time. Because someone is out to make sure that before the Dawlishes catch up to their prey, the newlyweds will be newly dead . . .

    Normally, the scent of cookies, scones, and waffle cones fills the air around Whispering Pines’ bake shop, but kitchen witches Sugar and Honey Graham have mysteriously lost their touch. Sugar’s pastries won’t bake properly, and Honey’s ice cream tastes awful.  
    Certain they’ve been cursed, the sisters turn to their coven’s high priestess, Reeva Long, for help.  
    Reeva, however, is busier than ever with her own shop this season. Add a crabby teenage tenant, a moody best friend, and a new boyfriend—er, manfriend?—and Reeva’s plate is not only full, it’s overflowing. How can she possibly squeeze in more? 
    But when a tourist is found dead and a villager is accused of murder, Reeva knows the village has bigger problems than icky ice cream. It’s time for Long & McLaughlin Private Investigators (aka Reeva and Ruby) to put their sleuthing skills into action and catch the real killer.

    It’s summer festival time in Confection, Oregon, and that means a barrage of tourists are making cash registers ring at Sweet Fiction Bookshop. But what should be bookseller Lexi’s most lucrative time of year turns disturbing when a member of the chamber of commerce suddenly dies of a heart attack. It’s not entirely unexpected—considering her family history—but it’s a different story when another chamber member dies just one week later…also, presumably, of natural causes. Something about this doesn’t read right to Lexi. And it gets more unfathomable when her friend Dash—who dated both women—stands accused of murder! With Cookie, her lovable border-collie mix, at her side and countless volumes of inspiration on her shelves, Lexi opens the book on another perplexing case. Who could have murdered two prominent townspeople without leaving even a hint of evidence on the scene? And why is an irksome-but-intriguing detective always seeming to catch her and Cookie working the case? Lexi’s Confection Rose-colored glasses come off when she learns of thorny discussions among the council members involving a string of secretive real-estate transactions. Enlisting her faithful fellow members of the Macaroon Book Club, she sets out to bind the clues together and clear Dash’s name. But if she can’t devise a clever trap for the real killer, she may soon end up with a very unhappily ever after of her own.

    A haunting gothic thriller about legacy, grief, and the haunted echoes of family secrets. 
    Some inheritances should be left to the dead. 
    Blair Graves doesn’t believe in ghosts—she grew up watching her father chase them for a living. His disappearance years ago was just one more reason to write off the supernatural as nonsense. 
    After selling her family’s estate to cover her brother’s gambling debts, Blair sinks what’s left of her savings into a crumbling mansion known as Solomon House, hoping the project will fill the void left by loss and regret. But as strange sounds echo through its halls and flickers of movement appear in dark corners, Blair begins to question everything she thought she knew about her father, the Solomons who built the house, and herself. 
    When an online paranormal investigator named Cash arrives, eager to document the haunting, the lines between skepticism and belief blur—and the ghosts of Solomon House begin to reveal the truth about what happened there, and what still lingers within. 
    Richly atmospheric and emotionally charged, The Haunting of Solomon House is a gothic psychological thriller about family secrets, grief, and the stories that refuse to die—perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, and Darcy Coates.
