"Maggie Bell thought Fair Haven’s annual book fair would be all literary gossip, rare editions, and author autographs. But when a famous local writer turns up dead in a hotel elevator, she stumbles into a real-life whodunnit.
Otto Deitz’s explosive new novel lays bare the town’s secrets and scandals, barely disguising the real people behind them. Now, half of Fair Haven has a motive. As the suspect list grows, Maggie finds herself caught between a relentless private investigator, two twitchy bellboys, and a mystery that twists with every chapter.
Armed with nothing but her tote bag of books, her curiosity, and a serious caffeine habit, Maggie must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
Listen to the 7th book in the bestselling Bookish Cafe Mysteries, a cozy mystery series with a dash of romance."
"Maggie never imagined she would be the prime suspect in a murder case.
When a lavish party hosted by her landlady, Mrs. Peacock, ends with a dead body in front of Maggie's cottage, the quiet life she cherished is shattered. The body belongs to Matthew Spencersmith, Fair Haven’s youngest city councilman. Whispers spread quickly, suggesting Maggie was his secret mistress who snapped upon learning of his engagement to a high–society woman.
Meanwhile, Joshua, Maggie's boss, faces relentless harassment from Roger Hawkes, a local determined to take over their beloved bookstore. Could this be connected to the murder somehow?
Though the townspeople have always seen Maggie as a reclusive wallflower, she must show how bold she is by standing up for herself and clearing her name."

After a hit-and-run driver tragically kills Lily's daughter and son-in-law, she is left with unspeakable grief, custody of her eight-year-old granddaughter Emma, and an impossible wish: to fulfill her daughter’s dream of opening a quilt shop in the old house in their small Western Pennsylvania town.
The house is in shambles, coated with years of grime, but Lily, unable to afford contractors on her late husband’s pension, tackles the job herself. As Emma’s emotional struggles deepen, the old house presents a barrage of increasingly costly obstacles. Worse, when Lily discovers a squatter living on the property, she fears for their safety. Only her unwavering belief that the shop is the best way to build a new life for herself and Emma keeps Lily pushing forward.
But not everyone in town is rooting for Lily’s success, and the line between helper and hinderer isn’t always clear, forcing Lily to make sacrifices she never imagined. She will need to prove it isn’t the patchwork that makes a quilt but the thousands of tiny stitches that bind the layers—and maybe hold a family together."

"Foreword by Tia Newcomer, CEO of CaringBridge
When Cris Ross and Ed Marx were diagnosed with cancer, they thought they knew what to do next. They were, after all, executives at two of the premiere hospitals in the United States—Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. But even decades of obsessing about effective delivery of patient care could not have prepared them for the emotional and logistical complexity of navigating the healthcare system. If it was this hard for them, how hard was it for everyone else?
Diagnosed is the book Cris and Ed wish they’d had when they embarked on their medical journeys, offering guidance, strategies, and more than a few checklists on how to:
- Process the shock and grief of a diagnosis
- Advocate for yourself (or your loved one)
- Harness the power of shared decision-making
- Access the best resources and technologies to support your recovery
- Create a personalized care plan that reflects your values and goals
- Celebrate your milestones, honor your losses, and embrace your new normal"
"In this gripping work of true crime, a criminal lawyer takes readers inside the notorious Lori Vallow case and the devastating doomsday murders.
A blonde beauty queen, missing children, six suspicious deaths, and the twisted Mormon doomsday writings of her fifth husband are only the beginning of a tragic crime saga that gripped Americans and instigated frantic searches all over the country.
It all started when Lori Vallow met Chad Daybell at a doomsday prepper event. Their story grew like a wildfire that creates its own weather, and what happened next will shock even the most experienced true crime reader.
Clinging to and manipulating one another, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell believed the return of Jesus Christ was imminent and that God had chosen them to lead the 144,000 and usher in the new millennium. When the people closest to them began dying, it became clear they would stop at nothing to be together and fulfill their mission. When the bodies of Lori’s missing children—J.J. and Tylee—were discovered in Chad’s backyard, the strange and complex story of their fundamentalist Mormon beliefs was revealed in all its true horror.
Author Lori Hellis, a retired criminal lawyer, had just moved to Arizona when news of J.J. and Tylee's disappearance broke, and there were reports about these missing children that linked them to a neighboring community. She began to follow the case closely, trying to understand this perfect storm of people and circumstances that culminated in the death of innocents. In Children of Darkness and Light, Hellis digs deep into the investigation, trial, and verdict to craft a haunting narrative that illuminates one of the most confounding crimes in recent memory."
