Book Description
Holiday time is magical in Sea Harbor, as the Seaside Knitters turn winter yarns of deep reds, greens, and golds into gifts. But when murder comes to this small New England town, they must set aside their needles to pursue justice—and restore joy to the season. In Sea Harbor the scent of snow fills the salty air, and at Izzy’s Seaside Yarn Studio, the Knitters feast on cookies, knit their gifts, and plan their holiday gatherings. Across town, Mary Pisano is sparing no expense to transform the estate she inherited from her grandfather into a bed-and-breakfast. When the Pisano family gathers for their annual meeting, Mary offers to put up her cousins in the refurbished family home, hoping to dispel any ill will over her inheriting the estate. But hard feelings are likely the cause when Mary’s cousin Pamela is found dead on the B and B’s snowy back porch. While the Seaside Knitters begin unraveling the case, Izzy Chambers is knitting her brow over her own mystery—the mystery of love. As the holiday draws nigh, the four friends will need all their crafty know-how to solve the crime and restore holiday peace—and the magic of mistletoe—to Sea Harbor.

Book Description
"An immersive setting with details of running a Catskillsresort in the 1950s (think Kellerman’s in Dirty Dancing) beautifully frame a story with plot twists and a cast of well-delineated characters."--Booklist A summer of fun at a Catskills resort comes to an abrupt end when a guest is found murdered, in this new 1950s set mystery series. It’s the summer of 1953, and Elizabeth Grady is settling into Haggerman’s Catskills Resort. As a vacation getaway, Haggerman’s is ideal, and although Elizabeth’s ostentatious but well-meaning mother is new to running the resort, Elizabeth is eager to help her organize the guests and the entertainment acts. But Elizabeth will have to resort to untested abilities if she wants to save her mother’s business. When a reclusive guest is found dead in a lake on the grounds, and a copy of The Communist Manifesto is found in his cabin, the local police chief is convinced that the man was a Russian spy. But Elizabeth isn’t so sure, and with the fate of the resort hanging in the balance, she’ll need to dodge red herrings, withstand the Red Scare, and catch a killer red-handed.

Book Description
"If you have a Jane Austen-would-have-been-my-best-friend complex, look no further . . . [Barron] has painstakingly sifted through the famed author's letters and writings, as well as extensive biographical information, to create a finely detailed portrait of Austen's life—with a dash of fictional murder . . . Some of the most enjoyable, well-written fanfic ever created."—O Magazine May 1816: Jane Austen is feeling unwell, with an uneasy stomach, constant fatigue, rashes, fevers and aches. She attributes her poor condition to the stress of family burdens, which even the drafting of her latest manuscript—about a baronet's daughter nursing a broken heart for a daring naval captain—cannot alleviate. Her apothecary recommends a trial of the curative waters at Cheltenham Spa, in Gloucestershire. Jane decides to use some of the profits earned from her last novel, Emma, and treat herself to a period of rest and reflection at the spa, in the company of her sister, Cassandra. Cheltenham Spa hardly turns out to be the relaxing sojourn Jane and Cassandra envisaged, however. It is immediately obvious that other boarders at the guest house where the Misses Austen are staying have come to Cheltenham with stresses of their own—some of them deadly. But perhaps with Jane’s interference a terrible crime might be prevented. Set during the Year without a Summer, when the eruption of Mount Tambora in the South Pacific caused a volcanic winter that shrouded the entire planet for sixteen months, this fourteenth installment in Stephanie Barron’s critically acclaimed series brings a forgotten moment of Regency history to life.

Join Miss Wilma Wade as she unravels mysteries that shatter the peace of her holiday seasons, from an unexpected Christmas death to a chilling encounter in the snow and even a New Year's brunch turned into a puzzling crime scene. Get ready to be hooked, as Miss Wade's holiday cheer takes a dark and thrilling twist in 'Murder on the Island,' 'Murder in the Snow,' and 'Murder at the Inn.' But the mysteries don't end there; in 'Murder on the Block,' petty thievery spirals into grand larceny and murder, leaving you on the edge of your seat. Prepare to be captivated by these tales of suspense, secrets, and holiday mayhem. Murder on the Island When Miss Wilma Wade is invited to spend Christmas with her cousin, Martha Bowen, on Acadia Island on the coast of Maine, the little lady is elated at the prospect of seeing her family during the holiday season. However, on the second day of her stay, she strolls on the promontory, where she finds Martha's husband dead at the bottom of a cliff. Harry Bowen was not supposed to be back in town until Boxing Day! Ultimately, Martha confesses that she suspected her husband of cheating on her, but as it turns out, he was cheating the bank where he worked by laundering money for organized crime. The murderer is the same guy who introduced Harry to the lucrative but very dangerous game of money laundering. In the end, Miss Wade is happy to spend Christmas with her family, which she thought she might not see for another year. Murder in the Snow Returning from spending Christmas with her cousin on Acadia Island, Miss Wilma Wade looks forward to spending a leisurely week before the New Year's festivities begin. However, the morning after her return, a blizzard covers the driveway and the front of her house, sending Wilma into a snow-shovelling frenzy as soon as she wakes up. Halfway through clearing the drive, her shovel hits a frozen corpse buried under the snow. Wilma calls the police and is shocked at how excited she is at the prospect of unravelling another mystery.

That’s when they have their annual cookie exchange, access the year’s work, and plan for the year ahead. Wilma and her friends are all aflutter when a guest is found dead in his room. Who’s the stranger, and why is he dead? Murder on the Block When Wilma Wade catches her handyman stealing from some of her neighbors, she approaches the young man’s mother with this problem.
