Book Description
Former Olympian and Arizona native Brenna Battle’s crazy dream of running her very own judo school for kids in tiny, historic Bonney Bay isn’t exactly off to a great start. She has a grand total of one student signed up, but she’s determined to succeed even if it means going door to door. Brenna’s search for judo recruits takes her inside the infamous haunted Reiner House, where she befriends a confused old man named Harvey, and finds herself at the scene of the second murder since her arrival in Bonney Bay. Brenna butts heads with Will Riggins, AKA Officer Dimples, when the poisoning of Derek Thompson is pinned on his uncle, Harvey Thompson. Harvey claims the ghosts of Reiner House are responsible. Brenna, busy battling the ghosts of her past failures and heartaches as she tries to get her business off the ground, is determined to prove there’s an earthly explanation for Derek’s murder. One that will set Harvey free, not only from jail, but from the torment of the “spirits” inhabiting Reiner House. Poisoned Pin is the second book in the Brenna Battle Cozy Mystery series. The series starts with Taking the Fall. ABOUT THE SERIES: In this fast-paced, fun cozy mystery series, Brenna, the proud new owner of the building that formerly housed Bonney Bay’s lone recreational opportunity for kids, Little Swans Ballet, is ready to turn tutu-clad powder-puffs into little warriors by opening a judo school for kids in its place. Olympian Brenna Battle once had the fire. Now, she’s just burned out—and burned by love. She’s ready to retire from competitive judo and pursue a new dream in a new town, with her biggest supporter, her recently divorced little sister, Blythe.

Now she must clear her sister’s name and save her new dream from ending even more disastrously than her Olympic hopes.

Book Description
It’s election time in Savannah, Georgia, and Judge Guillotine Gloria—aka Reagan Summerside’s mom—is neck and neck in the polls with Kip “Scummy” Seymour. But the already dirty campaign is about to get downright filthy—with one candidate getting buried six feet under… With her strong opinions and knack for getting into trouble, Reagan is not an ideal volunteer for her mother’s alderman campaign. Plus, she’d rather be running her consignment shop, the Prissy Fox, and eating doughnuts with her dog, Bruce Willis. But when her mother’s opponent, Kip, is found poisoned and her mother is pegged as a suspect, Reagan nominates herself as lead murder investigator. Reagan is intent on finding Kip’s killer and clearing her mother’s good name, but she soon finds herself on the bad side of Kip’s enemies-turned-suspects. This time, no amount of costumes and makeup can keep her inconspicuous and out of danger. Because the closer Reagan gets to the truth, the hotter things get…

Book Description
Brenna and Blythe Battle, the proud new owners of Bonney Bay Battlers, a judo school for kids in small-town, coastal Washington State, are nearing the end of their judo summer day camp for kids and gearing up for Fall, just as Bonney Bay is preparing for its Annual Salmon Bake, and for a special election to fill its most important vacancy—mayor. The heated debate among the candidates—the smooth but possibly smarmy Gunter Hatton, the spacey mother of three hooligans, Jessie Pakowski, who thinks she can wish Bonney Bay’s problems away, and the the kind, honest, but unfortunately boring Herbert Random comes to a head at Bonney Bay’s Annual Salmon Bake. Proclamations, Accusations, salmon, and corn on the cob fly—until murder brings the party to a screeching halt. Former Olympian Brenna Battle finds Dina Hermiston, a respected, lifetime Bonney Bay resident and philanthropist, stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer. Suspicion falls on candidate Herbert Random. Is there more to the innocent-looking Random family than meets the eye? In order to find out, Brenna must make nice with the last man she ever wanted to meet again, Blythe’s ex and Brenna’s former coach, who also happened to break both sisters’ hearts—Jake the Snake. Will Brenna find Dina’s killer, expose the criminals in their midst, and save the election? Will she survive more than three minutes in the same room with Jake the Snake without imploding? Most of all, will her relationship with Officer Will Riggins and with her sister, Blythe, endure once they find out the truth? Single Elimination is the fourth book in the clean, humorous cozy mystery series featuring Brenna Battle. Each of the Brenna Battle mysteries is a complete story with no cliff-hanger endings.

Book Description
The Lost Apothecary meets Dead Dead Girls in this fast-paced, STEMinist adventure. Debut author Kate Khavari deftly entwines a pulse-pounding mystery with the struggles of a woman in a male-dominated field in 1923 London. Newly minted research assistant Saffron Everleigh is determined to blaze a new trail at the University College London, but with her colleagues’ beliefs about women’s academic inabilities and not so subtle hints that her deceased father’s reputation paved her way into the botany department, she feels stymied at every turn. When she attends a dinner party for the school, she expects to engage in conversations about the university's large expedition to the Amazon. What she doesn’t expect is for Mrs. Henry, one of the professors’ wives, to drop to the floor, poisoned by an unknown toxin. Dr. Maxwell, Saffron’s mentor, is the main suspect and evidence quickly mounts. Joined by fellow researcher--and potential romantic interest--Alexander Ashton, Saffron uses her knowledge of botany as she explores steamy greenhouses, dark gardens, and deadly poisons to clear Maxwell's name. Will she be able to uncover the truth or will her investigation land her on the murderer’s list, in this entertaining examination of society’s expectations.
