Book Description
All of the books in this compilation are clean Cozy Mystery short stories that do not contain any foul language, sexual situations, witches, or paranormal events. Book One - Dying To Win Holly Bridges had always dreamed of having her own stable. While out for a drive in the country, she found a farm with a large indoor arena and several outdoor arenas. Even though it looked like it hadn't been used in years, it was the perfect location for holding equestrian shows and stabling horses. Shortly after opening, Holly managed to acquire a prominent local's horse as her first boarder. With the new tenant it looked like Happy Hollow Stable's first equestrian show could be a huge draw for the locals. Well, that is until a dead body showed up in a nearby field. Will the show go on or will Holly have to give up her lifelong dream? Book Two - Kill Them With Kindness While celebrating the windfall of her very expensive Hanoverian gelding, Rufus, the old barn cat, showed up sick. When Holly realized that she hadn't chosen a vet for any of the animals, her assistant suggested that try the local Veterinarian in Hill City. After seeing the vet, Rufus wasn't getting any better, so Holly made a follow up appointment to have him checked out again. Shortly after their arrival at the vet's office she found the doctor dead. Did the Veterinarian die of natural causes or could it have been murder? Book Three - Old Dog New Tricks Holly was just getting settled in at Happy Hollow Stables when she found herself being adopted by a German shepherd that showed up looking for food. Since the dog arrived without a collar or any type of identification, she took him to the local vet to help search for his owner. The vet checked him for a microchip, but couldn't find anything. Since she was unable to locate his owner, Holly decided Happy Hollow Stables could be his new home away from home until his owner could be found. Soon after the dog got familiar with his new surroundings, Holly discovered he seemed to have yet another secret. How will she find out what it is? Book Four - Cart Before The Horse Holly's old truck wouldn't start after hitching up the trailer to pick up a new schooling horse for Happy Hollow Stables. Her assistant, Mckenzie, recommended that she have the truck towed into the local mechanic in Hill City. Once the mechanic completed his inspection, he explained that her truck was simply too old and not worth fixing and referred Holly to his business partner that sells used cars in the attached building.

Book Description
Abigail Logan never expected to inherit a whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. But in the first novel of an engaging new series blending fine spirits with chilling mystery, Abi finds that there are secrets lurking in the misty glens that some will go to any lengths to protect . . . even murder. When Abi inherits her uncle’s quaint and storied single malt distillery, she finds herself immersed in a competitive high-stakes business that elicits deep passions and prejudices. An award-winning photojournalist, Abi has no trouble capturing the perfect shot—but making the perfect shot is another matter. When she starts to receive disturbing, anonymous threats, it’s clear that someone wants her out of the picture. But Abi’s never been one to back down from a fight. Arriving on the scene with her whisky-loving best friend, Patrick, and an oversized wheaten terrier named Liam, Abi seems to put everyone in the bucolic village on edge—especially her dour but disturbingly attractive head distiller. Acts of sabotage and increasingly personal threats against Abi make it clear that she is not welcome. When one of Abi’s new employees is found floating facedown in a vat of whisky, Abi is determined to use her skills as an investigative journalist to identify the cold-blooded killer and dispense a dram of justice before he strikes again. But distilling truth from lies is tricky, especially when everyone seems to have something to hide. Melinda Mullet’s delightful Whisky Business mysteries can be read together or separately.

Book Description
From award-winning author, Ilona Andrews, an all-new novel set in the New York Times #1 bestselling Kate Daniels World and featuring Julie Lennart-Olsen, Kate and Curran's ward. Atlanta was always a dangerous city. Now, as waves of magic and technology compete for supremacy, it’s a place caught in a slow apocalypse, where monsters spawn among the crumbling skyscrapers and supernatural factions struggle for power and survival. Eight years ago, Julie Lennart left Atlanta to find out who she was. Now she’s back with a new face, a new magic, and a new name—Aurelia Ryder—drawn by the urgent need to protect the family she left behind. An ancient power is stalking her adopted mother, Kate Daniels, an enemy unlike any other, and a string of horrifying murders is its opening gambit. If Aurelia’s true identity is discovered, those closest to her will die. So her plan is simple: get in, solve the murders, prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, and get out without being recognized. She expected danger, but she never anticipated that the only man she'd ever loved could threaten everything. One small misstep could lead to disaster. But for Aurelia, facing disaster is easy; it’s relationships that are hard.

The winter of 1139 will disrupt Brother Cadfael’s tranquil life in Shrewsbury with the most disturbing of events. Raging civil war has sent refugees fleeing north from Worcester. Among them are two orphans from a noble family, a boy of thirteen and an eighteen-year-old girl of great beauty, and their companion, a young Benedictine nun.
