  Dante O'Donnell is white, gay, and getting older every day. He has wasted his better years on starstruck dreams and the wrong men, so now he's working as a concierge for a vacation-rental outfit in Palm Springs, where the guests have far more baggage than what's packed in their suitcases. But when he finds a dead body floating in the swimming pool at one of his rentals, his own troubled past comes back to haunt him. So he turns for help to Jazz Friendly, a Black woman who, when she was a Palm Springs cop, nearly arrested him for murdering his husband, which he didn't do . . . not that he knows who did. Now Jazz is a struggling PI, her career derailed by racism. And with her marriage broken by booze, she's desperate to get custody of her kid. Dante and Jazz need each other to solve this murder . . . and to save themselves from personal and professional disaster.

  Thirty-something veterinarian Ally Winter has found a new leash on life since she moved back to her hometown of Willow Bluff, Wisconsin. But when she takes Domino, the black standard poodle she's boarding for the weekend, for a sunny September stroll along the shore of Lake Michigan, the diminutive dog dashes off, only to return with a single polka-dotted high-heeled shoe. Retracing Domino's paw prints back to a weeping willow tree, they find the other shoe. It's still on the foot of twenty-year-old Pricilla Green—lying dead beneath the willow, with a silk scarf knotted tightly around her neck. Willow Bluff's finest—and handsomest—detective, Noah Jorgenson, is soon on the tail of the killer. But he has another worry on his mind when Ally's grandfather, a lifelong true-crime buff, starts to suspect that the recent burglary of a local big-box store may have some connection to Pricilla's murder. Noah cautions Ally to keep Gramps well away from the homicide investigation, but the old dog is drawn to danger like a puppy is to a squeaky ball. The fur flies as Ally, Noah, Gramps, and Domino race the clock to fetch the felon. It will take all of their canine canniness to comb out the twists and curls in this wild and woolly case. And if they fail, they won't live to go walkies again.

  🦃 Event planner and pie shop owner Autumn "Pumpkin" Spice is organizing her small town's annual Turkey Trot charity race when the race's major sponsor—a notoriously competitive local businessman—collapses at the finish line, a mysterious substance contaminating the celebratory giblet gravy. The police suspect a heart attack, but Pumpkin notices the race route was deliberately altered and the victim's sponsorship documents contain coded notes about financial irregularities. With the Thanksgiving festival in chaos and the town's traditions threatened, Pumpkin must race against time to solve the case. Assisted by her baking staff and the handsome food safety inspector analyzing the tainted gravy, Pumpkin uncovers a scheme involving charity fund embezzlement, race fixing, and a plot to sabotage local businesses. From suspicious timing chips that reveal race manipulation to gravy ingredients that don't match the recipe, every clue tells a story. But when Pumpkin discovers the victim was systematically skimming charity funds meant for the town's food bank, she realizes the killer is protecting community welfare more valuable than any sponsorship deal. With Thanksgiving dinner approaching and the real embezzler still cooking the books, Pumpkin must baste together the evidence before her own business gets permanently stuffed.

  Everyone’s favorite moral philosopher and amateur sleuth, Isabel Dalhousie, is  
  back and once again finds herself facing a number of tricky situations and  
  philosophical questions, both public and private. 
  Isabel’s life has fallen into a comfortable and tidy rhythm. Well, as tidy as things  
  can be with two small boys wreaking havoc around the house. But when her  
  husband, Jamie, invites a woman named Dawn—recently embroiled in a  
  contentious affair with a member of Jamie’s orchestra—to stay with them, things  
  begin to go awry. Strange noises can be heard from the upper floor, even when  
  Dawn is supposedly at work, and the couple wonders whether something more  
  nefarious may be afoot. 
  If that weren’t enough, Professor Robert Lettuce is staging an academic  
  conference and has asked Isabel to publish the conference papers in a special  
  issue of the Review of Applied Ethics. But something is definitely suspect about  
  the funding, and it will be up to Isabel to sort it out. As the truth comes to light,  
  Isabel must once more rely on her kindness, powers of deduction and  
  philosophical expertise to navigate these sensitive matters.
