SUFFER THE CHILDREN
The Gardiner and Renner Series
Lisa Black
In the fourth Gardiner and Renner thriller by New York Times bestselling author
Lisa Black, Maggie Gardiner, a forensic expert who studies the dead, and her
unlikely partner, a homicide cop who stalks the living, investigate a bizarre series
of murders in a juvenile delinquent facility.
Maggie Gardiner, forensics expert for the Cleveland police department, and Jack Renner, a homicide detective with a killer secret, return in
bestselling author Lisa Black’s new thriller as they confront the darkest threat yet to their careers—and their lives.
SEPTEMBER 2018 KENSINGTON HARDCOVER

The body of fifteen-year-old Rachael Donahue—abandoned by society, raised in foster homes, and violently unapproachable—has been
discovered at the bottom of a stairwell at Firebird, the secure facility for juvenile offenders in Cleveland. For Maggie and Jack, Rachael’s death
comes with a disturbing twist—the girl may have been involved with a much older man.
But Rachael’s not the only resident at the center to come to a dead end. Firebird’s ten-year-old “wild child” has overdosed in the infirmary—
back-to-back tragedies that appear to be terrible accidents. As a forensic investigator, Maggie knows appearances can be deceiving. And Jack
knows all about deceit. That’s why they both suspect a cold-blooded murderer is carrying out a deadly agenda.

In a brilliantly twisted debut suspense novel set among Boston’s elite, Edwin Hill
introduces unforgettable 4-foot 9 librarian and sleuth Hester Thursby, whose
missing persons case uncovers a trail of vicious murder…

MURDER IN THE OVAL LIBRARY
Lincoln’s White House Mystery Series
C. M. Gleason
April 13, 1861: Rebel troops are across the Potomac River, only 800 feet from the
White House and President Lincoln—but a murderer is even closer…
With the Confederate Army firing on Fort Sumter, the Civil War has begun—and an invasion of Washington, D.C., from Secessionist Virginia
seems imminent. As the population evacuates, the President is in desperate need of men to defend the capital.
Lincoln’s trusted aide, Adam Speed Quinn, and Quinn’s old friend from the Bloody Kansas conflict, Senator Jim Lane, hastily assemble a
motley crew of just over a hundred men and garrison them in the East Room at the White House itself. Dubbed the Frontier Guard, these
rough-and-tumble patriots steel themselves for the inevitable attack.

But even as dawn breaks with no Rebel strike, a single act of violence intrudes within the White House. One of the Frontier Guard lies dead in
the oval library, throat slit ear to ear. There is a murderer among them.
Lincoln promptly assigns Quinn to deal with the matter, who is in turn aided by journalist Sophie Gates and Dr. George Hilton. And to Quinn’s
chagrin, the Southern belle Constance Lemagne insists on being involved in the investigation as well. But when Dr. Hilton examines the body, he

STEPS TO THE SEA
Sara Alexander
In a richly romantic novel set in stunning Positano, Italy, Sara Alexander weaves a
story of love, family loyalty, and sacrifice spanning five decades…
Nestled into the cliffs in southern Italy’s Amalfi coast, Positano is an artist’s vision, with rows of brightly hued houses perched above the sea and
picturesque staircases meandering up and down the hillside. Santina, still a striking woman despite old age and the illness that saps her last
strength, is spending her final days at her home, Villa San Vito. The magnificent eighteenth-century palazzo is very different from the tiny house
in which she grew up. And as she decides its fate, she must confront the choices that led her here so long ago…
KENSINGTON TRADE PAPERBACK SEPTEMBER 2018
In 1949, Positano is as yet undiscovered by tourists, a beautiful, secluded village shaking off the dust of war. Hoping to escape poverty, young
Santina takes domestic work in London, ultimately becoming a housekeeper to a distinguished British major and his creative, impulsive wife,
Adeline. When they move to Positano, Santina returns with them, raising their daughter as Adeline’s mental health declines. With each passing
year, Santina becomes more deeply enmeshed within the family, trying to navigate her complicated feelings for a man who is much more than an
employer—while hiding secrets that could shatter the only home she knows…

GOODBYE CRULLER WORLD
The Deputy Donut Mystery Series
Ginger Bolton
Emily Westhill runs the best donut shop in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, alongside her
retired police chief father-in-law and her tabby Deputy Donut. But after murder
claims a favorite customer, Emily can’t rely on a sidekick to solve the crime—or stay
alive.
If Emily has learned anything from her past as a 911 operator, it’s to stay calm during stressful situations. But that’s a tall order when one of her
regulars, Georgia Treetor, goes missing. Georgia never skips morning cappuccinos with her knitting circle. Her pals fear the worst—especially Lois,

a close friend who recently moved to town. As evening creeps in, Emily and the ladies search for Georgia at home. And they find her—murdered
among a scattering of stale donuts…
Disturbingly, Georgia’s demise coincides with the five-year anniversary of her son’s murder, a case Emily’s late detective husband failed to solve
before his own sudden death. With Lois hiding secrets and an innocent man’s life at stake, Emily’s forced to revisit painful memories on her quest
for answers. Though someone’s alibi is full of holes, only a sprinkling of clues have been left behind. And if Emily can’t trace them back to a killer
in time, her donut shop will end up permanently closed for business…

MURDER IN AN ENGLISH VILLAGE
A Beryl and Edwina Mystery Series
Jessica Ellicott
As friends, the boisterous and brash American Beryl couldn’t be less alike than the
prim and proper British Edwina. But as sleuths in an England recovering from the
Great War, they’re the perfect match…
1920: Flying in the face of convention, legendary American adventuress Beryl Helliwell never fails to surprise and shock. The last thing her
adoring public would expect is that she craves some peace and quiet. The humdrum hamlet of Walmsley Parva in the English countryside seems
just the ticket. And honestly, until America comes to its senses and repeals Prohibition, Beryl has no intention of returning stateside and
subjecting herself to bathtub gin.

For over three decades, Edwina Davenport has lived comfortably in Walmsley Parva, but the post–World War I bust has left her in dire financial
straits and forced her to advertise for a lodger. When her long-lost school chum Beryl arrives on her doorstep—actually crashes into it in her red
motorcar—Edwina welcomes her old friend as her new roommate.
But her idyllic hometown has a hidden sinister side, and when the two friends are drawn in, they decide to set up shop as private inquiry agents,
helping Edwina to make ends meet and satisfying Beryl’s thirst for adventure. Now this odd couple will need to put their heads together to catch

The Black Sheep & Co. Mystery Series
Anne Canadeo
Now available in trade paperback, the first in a new series spinning off from
Ann Canadeo’s popular Black Sheep Knitting Mysteries (Pocket Books), as four
knitting friends and sleuthing heroines take some big steps in their lives. Maggie
has changed the name of her shop to The Black Sheep & Co. and the group is
preparing for Lucy’s wedding, but first there’s a murder for them to solve on their
girls only getaway to Osprey Island.

A relaxing girls’ getaway turns deadly for the Black Sheep Knitters when a pushy killer is on the prowl…
As their beloved Black Sheep member Lucy Binger prepares to tie the knot, the close- knit group decide they need a weekend to unwind before
the big day. Suzanne Cavanaugh has just the spot—her friend Amy lives in a luxury New England community on Osprey Island, renowned for its
famous cliff walk and spectacular ocean views, and she would be happy to host the knitters.
Shortly after their arrival, however, the idyllic setting turns into a crime scene. The body of a prominent resident of Osprey Shores is discovered on
the rocky coastline below the cliffs and evidence suggests his fatal misstep was no accident.

DEATH OF A NEIGHBORHOOD SCROOGE
The Jaine Austen Mystery Series
Laura Levine
Freelance writer Jaine Austen is feeling festive about spending Christmas
house-sitting at a posh Bel Air mansion, accompanied by her friend Lance and
her cat, Prozac. But when a grumpy neighbor gets himself iced, she’ll have
to find the culprit or she may spend the New Year in jail…
Scotty Parker is a former child star who once played Tiny Tim, but now he’s grown up into the role of neighborhood Scrooge. He cuts the wires on
his neighbors’ Christmas lights and tells local kids that Santa had a stroke. And his miserly, bah-humbug attitude lasts year-round—a fact known
all too well by his current wife, his ex-wife, his maid, and many more.
OCTOBER 2018 KENSINGTON HARDCOVER

Scotty thinks he can stage a comeback with the screenplay he’s working on (The Return of Tiny Tim: Vengeance Is Mine!), and Jaine’s been
reluctantly helping him edit it. So when Scotty is bludgeoned with a frozen chocolate Yule log and the police start making a list of suspects and
checking it twice, Jaine’s name is toward the top. True, she’s been under some stress, with Lance setting her up on dates and her fickle feline
taking a sudden liking to someone else—but she’s not guilty of murder. Now she just has to prove it, by using her gift for detection and figuring
out who committed this holiday homicide.

CHRISTMAS CAKE MURDER
The Hannah Swensen Mystery Series
Joanne Fluke
Queen of culinary capers, Joanne Fluke, cooks up the most delicious gift of all: a
recipe-filled holiday mystery prequel to the beloved Hannah Swensen Mystery
series! Readers will devour this story, as it brings them back to when it all began,
during Christmas season many years ago, when a young Hannah was preparing to
open The Cookie Jar and investigating her first murder…
With her dream of opening The Cookie Jar taking shape, Hannah’s life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle in Lake Eden—especially
when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas Ball from the past in honor of Essie Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But
instead of poring over decadent dessert recipes for the merry festivities, she instantly becomes enthralled by Essie’s old notebooks and the tale
KENSINGTON HARDCOVER OCTOBER 2018
of a woman escaping danger on the streets of New York. Hannah’s surprised by Essie’s secret talent for penning crime fiction. She’s even more
surprised when the story turns real. As Hannah prepares to run a bakery and move out of her mother’s house, it’ll be a true miracle if she can
prevent another Yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake…

SILVER ANNIVERSARY MURDER
The Lucy Stone Mystery Series
Leslie Meier
Join bestselling author Leslie Meier to celebrate the 25th installment in her beloved
Lucy Stone cozy mystery series with Silver Anniversary Murder!
As Tinker’s Cove, Maine, buzzes over a town-wide silver wedding anniversary bash, Lucy is reminded of her nuptials and ponders the whereabouts
of Beth Gerard, her strong-willed maid of honor. Lucy never would have made it down the aisle without Beth’s help, and although the two friends
lost touch over the years, she decides to reach out. It only takes one phone call for Lucy to realize that a reunion will happen sooner than later—
at Beth’s funeral.
Beth, who was in the process of finalizing her fourth divorce, had a reputation for living on the edge—but no one can believe she would jump
off a penthouse terrace in New York City. The more Lucy learns about Beth’s former husbands, the more she suspects one of them committed
murder.
Summoning her friend’s impulsive spirit, Lucy vows to scour New York from the Bronx to the Brooklyn Bridge in search of the killer. With each
ex dodgier than the last, it’s not long before Lucy’s investigation leads her to a desperate criminal who will do anything to get away—even if it
means silencing another victim…

A CATERED CAT WEDDING
The Mystery With Recipes Series
Isis Crawford
Sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons run a catering business in their upstate New York
town, and they’re ready to handle any wedding—even one where the bride and
groom have tails in this 14th installment in Isis Crawford’s beloved Mystery with
Recipes series!
Susie Katz is the crazy cat lady of Longely, New York, and goes out of her way to earn her title, right down to her cat T-shirts and porcelain Hello
Kitties. She’s a fanatic for anything feline. Humans, not so much.
However, when she puts up a tent on her property and holds an extravagant wedding ceremony for her two Russian blues, she does make sure
to include a few two-legged guests—primarily to raise some hackles. All her favorite enemies will be there: her bird-loving neighbor, a rival cat
breeder, a local animal rights activist, and the niece and nephew who stand to inherit her considerable fortune…assuming she doesn’t spend it
all on cat tchotchkes first. Susie can’t wait for them all to watch as Boris and Natasha slink up the aisle in their very expensive diamond-studded
collars, before everyone starts digging in to the poached salmon and caviar provided for the occasion by Bernie and Libby.
But chaos erupts when a wedding gift is un-wrapped and a mischief of mice jump out of the box—followed by the disappearance of all the

MURDER FLIES THE COOP
The Beryl and Edwina Mystery Series
Jessica Ellicott
One would hardly call them birds of a feather, but thrill-seeking American
adventuress Beryl Helliwell and quietly reserved Brit Edwina Davenport do one
thing very well together—solve murders…
Sharing lodging in the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva has eased some of the financial strain on the two old school chums, but money
is still tight in the lean years following the Great War. All of Beryl’s ex-husbands have proven reluctant to part with her alimony, which is most
inconvenient.
So when the local vicar—and pigeon-racing club president—approaches them with a private inquiry opportunity, the ladies eagerly accept.

There’s been a spot of bother: the treasurer has absconded with the club’s funds and several prized birds.
Beryl and Edwina hope to flush out the missing man by checking his boardinghouse and place of employment at the coal mine. But when they
visit the man’s loft, they find their elusive quarry lying in white feathers and a pool of crimson blood, stabbed to death—the only witnesses
cooing mournfully.
After a stiff gin fizz, the ladies resume their search for the missing funds and prized birds—and now a murderer. Beryl and Edwina aren’t shy

A HEALING JUSTICE
Kristin von Kreisler
From the bestselling author known for writing novels that uniquely express the
love of animals, comes a richly insightful, heartwarming novel about a woman
police officer forced to commit an unthinkable act and the German Shepherd who
helps her to heal, both spiritually and psychologically.
Two years ago, police officer Andrea Brady fell madly in love with a black-muzzled, slightly rumpled German Shepherd who showed up at her
house one misty autumn day. Now, with the brave and intuitive Justice as her expert K-9 drug sniffer, she’s found an unbeatable partner. Then the
unthinkable happens. A savage attack leaves a teenager dead and Andie trapped in every cop’s worst nightmare. Placed on administrative leave,
she’s pursued by media and investigated by a deputy sheriff whose handling of the high-profile case could earn him a coveted promotion.
Haunted by self-doubt, Andie is in danger of losing everything—her career, her freedom, and the critically injured dog who’s her soul mate.
KENSINGTON TRADE PAPERBACK OCTOBER 2018
But as she finds kind allies in her Puget Sound island community, the road back becomes a journey of healing for both Andie and her canine
companion. And Andie learns important lessons about justice—and about her dog, Justice—as she struggles to find the courage to forgive
herself and reclaim the gift of her life…

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
The Yorktide, Maine Series
Holly Chamberlin
In a charming Maine seaside town, a single mother longs to create a memorable
Christmas for her two daughters before they leave the nest for good–and receives
a chance to make her own wishes come true, in this heartwarming novel from
bestselling author Holly Chamberlin.
At first glance, Nell King’s cozy home in Yorktide, Maine, seems a step down from the impeccably decorated Boston house she shared with her
husband. But in the six years since he left to marry another woman, Nell and her almost-grown daughters have found real happiness and comfort
here. Now, faced with what may be their last Christmas together before Molly and Felicity move away, an identity crisis sweeps through Nell. She
gave up her ambitions when she married and with the daily obligations of motherhood coming to an end, what role is left for her to fill?
Twenty-one-year-old Molly has never forgiven her father for walking out, though she worries about sacrificing her independence the way her
mother did. Should she stay in Maine with her dependable boyfriend, or move to the city and prove herself? Felicity, meanwhile, is torn between
loyalty to Nell and wanting to spend time with her glamorous, ski champion stepmother. Nell is eager to cement the bond with her daughters by
creating a picture-perfect holiday. But there’s a complication—and an opportunity…

THE LAST HOUSE ON SYCAMORE STREET
Paige Roberts
Paige Roberts’ second novel follows one woman giving life a new start…until she
discovers a history of deceit and lies.
When Amy Kravitz opts to leave Washington, D.C. behind in favor of a less stressful life in the Philadelphia suburbs, she has a
certain kind of house in mind. And on a charming street in a family-friendly neighborhood, she and her husband Rob find it. It’s a
perfect brick colonial with plenty of space, a beautiful yard, and great schools nearby. The sellers, Julian and Grace Durant, are
eager to make a deal. In an unexpected bonus, the Durants’ young son, Ethan, strikes up a friendship with Amy and Rob’s
introverted four-year-old, Noah.
Soon, Amy is unpacking boxes in her new home and arranging playdates for Noah and Ethan. But as weeks go by, Amy suspects

something isn’t quite right. Julian’s mail keeps arriving at their old address, and Amy can hardly miss the “Final Notice” stamped
on the envelopes in big, red letters. Behind the laid-back veneer projected by the Durants, Amy senses lives reeling out of control.
But how much does Grace know, how much is she choosing to ignore—and is there more at stake in Amy speaking up or in
staying silent?

THE TESTAMENT OF HAROLD’S WIFE
Lynne Hugo
From award-winning author Lynne Hugo comes a witty, insightful, refreshingly
unsentimental novel about one woman’s unconventional path from heartbreak to
hope…
After losing her husband, Harold, and her beloved grandson, Cody, within the past year, Louisa has two choices. She can fade away on her
Indiana family farm, where her companionship comes courtesy of her aging chickens and an argumentative cat. Or, she can concoct A Plan.
Louisa, a retired schoolteacher who’s as smart, sassy, and irreverent as ever, isn’t the fading away type.
The drunk driver who killed Cody got off scot-free by lying about a deer on the road. Harold had tried to take matters into his own hands, but
was thwarted by Gus, the local sheriff. Now Louisa decides to take up Harold’s cause, though it will mean outsmarting Gus, who’s developed an
unwelcome crush on her, and staying ahead of her adult son who’s found solace in a money-draining cult and terrible art.
Louisa’s love of life is rekindled as the spring sun warms her cornfields and she goes into action. But even the most perfect plans can go awry.
A wounded buck, and a teenage boy on the land she treasures help Louisa see that the enduring beauty of the natural world and the mystery of
human connection are larger than revenge…and so is justice.

FERAL ATTRACTION
The Cat Groomer Mystery Series
Eileen Watkins
A feral feline frenzy invades a local retirement community in Eileen Watkins’
third Cat Groomer Mystery featuring the owner of a cat grooming and boarding
business in the picturesque town of Chadwick, New Jersey.
Cassie’s good friend Dawn is part of an organization trying to protect a colony of stray cats on the property of a senior condo community in
Chadwick, New Jersey. The residents have got their backs up over the cat invasion, and Dawn has come to her grooming and boarding shop,
Cassie’s Comfy Cats, to ask her help in talking sense to them.
Not everyone’s against the cats. Eccentric Sabrina Ward feeds them and has even created makeshift shelters for them in the nearby woods,

infuriating her neighbors. Following a heated community meeting—in which Cassie and her veterinarian boyfriend come up with a proposal—
Sabrina’s body is found in the woods. The police are calling her death an accident, but Cassie smells a rat. Narrowing down the list of suspects
may be tougher than herding cats, but Cassie is determined to collar the killer before another cat lover has a fatal accident…

TREACHEROUS IS THE NIGHT
The Verity Kent Mystery Series
Anna Lee Huber
In 1919 England, in the shadow of The Great War, many look to the spirit world for
answers. But it will take an all too earthbound intrigue to draw in the discerning
heroine of Anna Lee Huber’s second Verity Kent Mystery.
It’s not that Verity Kent doesn’t sympathize with those eager to make contact with lost loved ones. After all, she once believed herself a war
widow. But now that she’s discovered Sidney is very much alive, Verity is having enough trouble connecting with her estranged husband, never
mind the dead. Still, at a friend’s behest, Verity attends a séance, where she encounters the man who still looms between her and Sidney—and
a medium who channels a woman Verity once worked with in the Secret Service. Refusing to believe her former fellow spy is dead, Verity is

determined to uncover the source of the spiritualist’s top secret revelation.
Then the medium is murdered—and Verity’s investigation is suddenly thwarted. Even Secret Service agents she once trusted turn their backs on
her. Undaunted, Verity heads to war-torn Belgium, with Sidney by her side. But as they draw ever closer to the danger, Verity wonders if she’s
about to learn the true meaning of till death do us part…

After a long hiatus, bestselling author Jean Stone returns with a charming holiday
novel in which a solitary writer’s life is forever changed one night during the long
dark winter on Martha’s Vineyard, when a baby is left on her doorstep in the
middle of a Christmas blizzard.
It’s taken a long time and a little heartache, but Annie Sutton is finally following her dream of living on Martha’s Vineyard. She fell in love with
the island’s singular beauty while using it as a setting for two of her novels. In her cozy rented cottage on Chappaquiddick, she’s settling in for
her first Vineyard winter—complete with a fierce nor’easter on the way, forecast to bring high winds and deep snow. But the blizzard also brings
something unexpected to Annie’s front porch: a basket, encircled by a ribbon, containing a baby girl. The note reads: “I named her Bella, after my
KENSINGTON HOLIDAY TRADE PAPERBACK OCTOBER 2018
grandmother. Please help her, because I can’t.”

Adopted as a child, Annie is grateful for wonderful parents who raised her as their own. Yet she also hopes to spare little Bella the feelings of
abandonment that still haunt her. And so, rather than take the baby to the police, Annie decides to keep her and try to find the birth mother,
giving her a chance to change her mind.

High school English teacher Angie Holloway has been in this little Ozark hamlet for a few years, but she still feels like an outsider. And with no
family of her own and single to boot, she’s rusty when it comes to opening her heart to anyone new. Nevertheless, she’s been drafted to direct
the annual Christmas pageant—whether she likes it or not. As for her assistant, that job’s been handed to Seth Parker. He may be smoking hot,
but the brawny construction engineer is definitely not her type. After all, she loves literature and he “reads” blueprints…

The Granny Reid Mystery Series
G.A. McKevett
After 23 Savannah Reid Mysteries (and counting!), G.A. McKevett launches a brand
new mystery series that is part prequel, part spin-off, taking readers back to the
1980s in the small Georgia town where Savannah grew up, when a much younger
Granny Reid went by Stella and was in her big-haired sleuthing prime!
Christmas has arrived in sleepy McGill, Georgia, but holiday cheer can’t keep temperamental Stella Reid from swinging a rolling pin at anyone
who crosses her bad side—and this season, there are plenty. First an anonymous grinch vandalizes a celebrated nativity display. Far worse, the
scandalous Prissy Carr is found dead in an alley behind a tavern. With police puzzled over the murder, Stella decides to stir the local gossip pot for
clues on the culprit’s identity…
Turns out Prissy held a prominent spot on the naughty list, and suspects pile up like presents on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, the more
progress Stella makes, the more fears she must confront. With a neighbor in peril and the futures of her beloved grandchildren at risk, Stella must
somehow set everything straight and bring a cunning criminal to justice before December 25th…

OVERKILT
The Liss MacCrimmon Mystery Series
Kaitlyn Dunnett
Liss MacCrimmon’s meddlesome mother is back in Moosetookalook, Maine to
serve up a hefty portion of trouble in time for Thanksgiving. But when a scandalous
murder case threatens to leave Liss alone at the table, family drama takes on a
terrifying new meaning…
While Liss preps the Scottish Emporium for November’s inevitable shopping rush, other local businesses aren’t half as lucky. Year after year, her
father-in-law’s rustic hotel can barely turn a profit during the stretch between autumn’s peak and ski season. Except this time, Mr. Ruskin realizes

that the recipe for success lies in enticing an untapped niche clientele—childless couples desperate for a holiday away from family…
The unusual marketing tactic has everyone in Moosetookalook talking. Unfortunately, it also inspires a scathing social media campaign aimed at
persuading tourists to boycott the hotel for affronting family values. Liss dismisses the bad publicity as being totally “overkilt”—until angry mobs
fill the streets, the troublemaker who started it all turns up dead, and her loved ones are suspected of murder…
With so much at stake, Liss can’t possibly follow police orders to stay out of the investigation. There’s just one wee problem: saving her own
clan could mean sending a friend or two behind bars. Now—partly helped, partly hindered by her difficult mother—Liss must digest a slew of

PURLS AND POISON
The Black Sheep & Company Mystery Series
Anne Canadeo
When a fellow Black Sheep Knitter is suspected of poisoning her coworker, the
group puts down their needles and takes up their friend’s defense…
Suzanne Cavanaugh has just about had it with her office rival at Prestige Properties. It’s bad enough that Liza Devereaux is constantly needling
her at work, but when she shows up at one of Suzanne’s open houses to poach potential buyers, it’s the last straw. No one in the office fails to
hear the two snarling at each other.
When Liza is later found dead in her office cubicle—poisoned by a diet shake—Suzanne becomes the prime suspect. It’s soon discovered,
though, that Liza had double-crossed so many around town and stashed their dark secrets in her designer handbags that anyone could be the
culprit.
The Black Sheep Knitters have no doubt their friend has been framed—but they need to prove it. Stirred to action, they pull together to catch
a sneaky killer who’s trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes…

SÉANCES ARE FOR SUCKERS
The Eleanor Wilde Mystery Series
Tamara Berry
When something goes bump in the night…it’s most likely a plumbing problem,
or something equally mundane. But fake medium Eleanor Wilde is happy to
investigate and cleanse your home of spectral presences—for a fee. Hey, it’s
a living…
Ellie has an ailing sister to care for, and working as a ghost hunter who doesn’t believe in ghosts helps cover the bills for both of them. When
she’s lucky, it also pays for the occasional tropical vacation. Her brother doesn’t exactly approve, but Ellie figures she’s providing a service. On her

latest job, though, she may be in for some genuine scares.
The skeptical, reserved, and very rich Nicholas Hartford III has flown her all the way to his family’s ancestral estate in England—supposedly
haunted by a phantom named Xavier. Nicholas thinks it’s all just as much a crock as Ellie’s business is, but the fact remains that something is
causing the flashes of light, mysterious accidents, and other apparent pranks in the chilly, eerie castle. His mother is sure that Xavier is real, and
he’s willing to employ Ellie if she can get to the bottom of it and put a stop to the nonsense.
While the food and accommodations are somewhat disappointing (dorm-room furniture? Really?), Ellie is finding it an adventure to get to know

SOMETHING WORTH SAVING
Sandi Ward
An unusual exploration of family life that will appeal to fans of The Art of Racing
in the Rain and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Sandi Ward’s
shrewdly observed, funny, and wonderfully touching novel tells of a fractured
family, a teenage boy, and a remarkable cat whose loyalty knows no bounds…
A boy and his cat. It’s an unconventional friendship, perhaps, but for Charlie and Lily, it works beautifully. It was Charlie who chose Lily from
among all the cats in the shelter. He didn’t frown, the way other humans did, when he saw her injured back leg, the legacy of a cruel previous
owner. Instead, Charlie insisted on rescuing her.
KENSINGTON TRADE PAPERBACK NOVEMBER 2018
Now Lily wants to do the same for Charlie.

She’s the only one who’s seen the bruises on Charlie’s body. If she knew who was hurting him, she’d scratch their eyes out. But she can’t
fix this by herself. Lily needs to get the rest of the family to focus on Charlie—not easy when they’re wrapped up in their own problems. Mother
kicked Father out weeks ago and has a new boyfriend who seems charming, but is still a stranger. Oldest son Kevin misses his father desperately.
Victoria, Charlie’s sister, also has someone new in her life, and Lily is decidedly suspicious. Even Father, who Lily loves dearly, is behaving
strangely.

WHEN WINTER COMES
V.A. Shannon
In the voice of an unforgettable heroine, V.A. Shannon explores one of the most
harrowing episodes in pioneer history—the ill-fated journey of the Donner Party—in
a mesmerizing novel of resilience and survival.
Mrs. Jacob Klein has a husband, children, and a warm and comfortable home in California. No one—not even her family—knows how she
came to be out West thirteen years ago. Jacob, a kind and patient man, has promised not to ask. But if she were to tell her story, she would
recount a tale of tragedy, mishaps, and unthinkable choices—yet also sacrifice, courage, and a powerful, unexpected love…
1846: On the outskirts of Cincinnati, wagons gather by the hundreds, readying to head west to California. Among the throng is a fifteen-year-old
girl eager to escape her abusive family. With just a few stolen dollars to her name, she enlists as helpmate to a married couple with a young
daughter. Their group stays optimistic in the face of the journey’s hazards and delays. Then comes a decision that she is powerless to prevent:
Instead of following the wagon train’s established route, the Donner Party will take a shortcut over the Sierras, aiming to clear the mountains
before the first snows descend.
In the years since that infamous winter, other survivors have sold their accounts for notoriety and money, lurid tales often filled with half-truths or
blatant, gory lies. Now, Mrs. Klein must decide whether to keep those bitter memories secret, or risk destroying the life she has endured so much

AN UNCONDITIONAL FREEDOM
The Loyal League Series
Alyssa Cole
A man ravaged by the horrors of slavery works with a Cuban woman to aid the
Union cause…but all is not as it seems in this third novel in Alyssa Cole’s highly
acclaimed series exploring the untold role of people of color in the fight to end
slavery.
Daniel Cumberland’s uneventful life as a freeman in Massachusetts ended the night he was kidnapped and sold into slavery. To then have his
freedom restored by the very man who stole his beloved’s heart is almost too much to bear. When he’s offered entry into the Loyal League,
the covert organization of spies who helped free him, Daniel seizes the opportunity to help take down the Confederacy and vent the rage that
consumes him.
When the Union Army occupies Janeta Sanchez’s small Florida town, her family’s goodwill and ties to Cuba fail to protect her father from being
unjustly imprisoned for treason. To ensure her father’s release, Janeta is made an offer she can’t refuse: spy for the Confederacy. Driven by a
desire for vengeance and the hope of saving her family, she agrees to infiltrate the Loyal League as a double agent.
Daniel is both aggravated and intrigued by the headstrong recruit. For the first time in months, he feels something other than anger, but a partner

Kate Summers’ teenage son, Jon, has been having nightmares. Someone is chasing him, the footsteps drawing relentlessly nearer. Jon can’t see

Daegan O’Rourke has come to this remote corner of the Pacific Northwest to find answers only Kate can give. He understands why she’s wary of
him, but there’s a far greater threat at hand. Someone is tracking Jon down—ready to kill him and anyone who gets in the way. And convincing

DEATH COMES TO THE SCHOOL
The Kurland St. Mary Mystery Series
Catherine Lloyd
In the English village of Kurland St. Mary, few things are worse than having one’s
reputation besmirched. A struggling marriage is one. Murder is another…
Three years have passed since Major Sir Robert Kurland and Lucy Harrington, the rector’s daughter, became husband and wife.
Having established a measure of contentment among the gentry of Kurland St. Mary, the couple lately have found an unsettling distance
grown between them. But when the small-town peace is disrupted by the arrival of an anonymous letter accusing Lucy of witchcraft, her as yet
unfulfilled desire to be a mother becomes the least of her worries, especially after she learns she is not the only one to have received such a

malicious letter.
Speculation in the village only escalates when the local schoolteacher, Miss Broomfield, is discovered murdered at her classroom desk. An
investigation reveals that Miss Broomfield had also received a number of threatening letters and the village populace is understandably on edge.
Lucy offers to teach in the school until a replacement can be found, hoping the schoolchildren might inadvertently reveal a clue, but by doing so
she may be putting her own life at risk…

plans. When the storm hits, Jake’s grown son Sam is stranded in a Boston bus station, and her husband Wade is stuck on a cargo ship. But as
bitter as the storm is, something even more sinister is brewing in the kitchen of The Chocolate Moose—where health inspector Matt Muldoon is
found murdered.

SUGAR COOKIE MURDER
The Hannah Swensen Mystery Series
Joanne Fluke
The holidays are the icing on the cake for bakery owner Hannah Swensen.
Surrounded by her loved ones, she has all the ingredients for a perfect Christmas—
until murder is added to the mix…
When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion—and the little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah leading the
way. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook.
The recently divorced Martin Dubinski arrives at the buffet with his new Vegas showgirl wife—all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife,

however, seems as cool as chilled eggnog. And when Hannah’s mother’s antique Christmas cake knife disappears, its discovery in the décolletage
of the new—and now late—Mrs. Dubinski puts the festivities on ice.
With everyone stranded at the community center by a blizzard, Hannah puts her investigative skills to the test, using the ingredients at hand:
half the town of Lake Eden—and a killer. Now, as the snowdrifts get higher, it’s up to Hannah to dig out all the clues—and make sure that this
white Christmas doesn’t bring any more deadly tidings…

LET THE DEAD KEEP THEIR SECRETS
The Gilded Age Mystery Series
Rosemary Simpson
Set amidst the opulent mansions and cobblestone streets of Old New York, this
second Prudence McKenzie historical mystery by Rosemary Simpson brings
the Gilded Age to life—in a tantalizing tale of old money, new love, and grave
suspicion…
When a young mother dies shortly after giving birth, no one except her twin sister suspects murder. As Prudence MacKenzie and Geoffrey Hunter
investigate this cold case, they learn that another woman is in danger. The husband who has already profited once from the death of a wealthy
spouse is again deeply in debt, facing social ostracism and financial ruin if he cannot pay his gambling losses.
Unable to prevent the second murder, and despite Geoffrey’s objections, Prudence disguises herself as a rich heiress and sets out to trap their
suspect into incriminating himself. But the death-dealing groom has an accomplice, a post-mortem photographer obsessed with capturing the
image of a soul leaving a body at the moment of death. When the two men discover her true identity, Prudence nearly becomes their next
victim…

STORM RISING
The F.B.I. K-9 Mystery Series
Sara Driscoll
The third installment of Sara Driscoll’s heart-pounding thriller series continues
as F.B.I. Special Agent Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue K-9 companion
confront the fury of nature—and the more dangerous nature of man…
In the wake of a devastating hurricane, Special Agent Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk—invaluable members of the F.B.I.’s Human Scent
Evidence Team—have been deployed to Virginia Beach. They have their work cut out for them. Amid graveyards of debris, and the buried cries
for help, the search and rescue operation begins. The most alarming discovery is yet to come—a teenage girl hiding in the Great Dismal Swamp.
Shaken by the storm, she has reason to be scared. But this young survivor is terrified of so much more.
Her name is Emma—a disheveled runaway lost to the sordid underbelly of a Virginia sex-trafficking ring. Its leader has disappeared in the
chaos—along with other victims. With so much evidence, and so many witnesses, seemingly washed away, Meg joins forces with Special Agent
Walter Van Cleave to ensure no further harm comes to their vulnerable charge. They soon discover that this is no small-time localized syndicate.
Its branches are rooted in some of the most influential powers in Virginia. Now as Meg’s investigation digs deeper, she’s making some very
dangerous enemies. And one by one, they’re coming out of the storm to stop her.

seem as strong and dependable together as the houses he builds. They live in Portland, Oregon, and Natalie is co-owner of a successful

THE SISTERS
Rosalind Noonan
A young woman must infiltrate the house of a secretive cult in Rosalind Noonan’s
new novel featuring three sisters, two families and three unreliable points of view.
Eleven years ago, Glory abandoned her two daughters—five-year-old Ruby and baby Aurora—at a fire station, running off to a man who
promised love and protection. Though the refuge she hoped for turned out to be a sham, she believes Ruby and Aurora are better off without her.
But Glory has since given birth to another daughter who’s clamoring for a life beyond their close-knit, tightly controlled world.
Sixteen-year-old Ruby loves her adoptive parents, but she hasn’t forgotten Glory. Now that she has her driver’s license, Ruby sets out in search
of her birth mother. What she finds is a ramshackle house of castaway women, referred to as “sisters,” ruled over by a charismatic bully who
monitors their every move.
Glory would take nine-year-old Luna away in a heartbeat if they had somewhere to go. On good days, the girl is confined to the fenced-in yard;
on bad days, she’s sent to the dusty attic as punishment. When Ruby makes contact, Glory seizes on a chance for escape. Ruby is desperate to
help, but how much does she owe to family she barely knows—and how can she fix someone else’s life when she has so little power over her
own?

DATING BY THE BOOK
Mary Ann Marlowe
Mary Ann Marlowe puts a modern spin on the beloved The Shop Around the Corner
and You’ve Got Mail storylines with a sparkling tale of romantic fiction full of flirty
fun and rom-com action for fans of Emily Giffin, Sarah Morgan, and Taylor Jenkins
Reid.
Six months ago, writer and bookstore owner Maddie Hansen was left at the altar. Since then, she’s had zero interest in romance—despite
running a book club full of sexy eligible bachelors. But when her latest novel is panned by an anonymous blogger who goes by the name Silver
Fox, who accuses her of knowing nothing about passion, she decides to prove her nemesis wrong—by lining up a series of dates…
There’s the failed rock musician, the college professor, and her childhood friend whom she blames for single handedly wrecking her wedding.

Even Silver Fox is getting in on the action, sending Maddie alarmingly—and intoxicatingly—flirtatious emails. And that’s not all. Her ex wants
her back.
Now Maddie is about to discover that like any good story, life has twists and turns, and love can happen when you least expect it—with the
person you least expect…

When the body of Dolly Cavenaugh, a vivacious friend of Color Me Read bookstore

coloring book, Florrie must delve into the deceased diva’s background to draw
out the murderer. The second installment of New York Times bestselling Krista
Davis’ innovative Pen & Ink cozy mystery series features a colorable cover

Life is looking rosy for Florrie Fox, manager of the Color Me Read bookstore in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. She’s working on an adult coloring
book of gardens, her romance with Sergeant Eric Jonquille has entered a new chapter, and the bookstore’s weekly coloring club is a source of
friendship and entertainment. No member is more vibrant than Dolly Cavenaugh. Dolly likes to say she was blessed with beauty and cursed with
lousy husbands, but at least she has a grown daughter and a stunning brownstone to show for it!
When Dolly’s love of garage sales results in her showing up at Color Me Read with a rare book in hand, Florrie is astounded. The Florist, the
earliest known coloring book, was originally published in 1760. An authentic copy would be worth a fortune—and someone else knows it. That

The 11th Hour Series

Jackie Ashenden returns with her signature crackling chemistry, fast-paced plotlines
and gorgeous alpha heroes: the men of the 11th Hour. Made up of former soldiers,
the men of the 11th Hour play by their own rules to protect the innocent, capture
the guilty, and stay in fighting shape for whatever—and whoever—comes their
way…
Jacob Night, ex-Black Ops, owner of a billion-dollar security company, and leader of the 11th Hour, spends his life completing dangerous missions
for others. But there’s one personal mission he has yet to complete: finding his missing brother, who was betrayed by the woman he should have
been able to trust. But when he finally tracks down his brother’s ex, there’s one surprise: she can’t remember a thing.
Faith has no memory of who she is. She can’t remember life before she came to work for Jacob Night, and she’s not sure she wants to. But
when she and Jacob are ambushed by men who have come to kill her for sins she can’t recall committing, she has no choice but to face the past.
Yet once she does, and Jacob’s identity—and her own—come to light, they may not survive with their lives intact, let alone their hearts.

The Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery Series
Alyssa Maxwell
In the sobering yet hopeful years following the First World War, Lady Phoebe
Renshaw and her lady’s maid, Eva Huntford, find their summer plans marred by an
instance of murder…
Phoebe and her sister Julia are eager for a summer getaway at High Head Lodge, the newly purchased estate of their cousin Regina. But they are
not the only houseguests. Regina’s odd friend, Olive, is far from friendly, and Regina’s mother and brother—bitter over the unequal distribution
of her father’s inheritance—have descended on the house to confront Regina.

In addition to the family tension, Eva is increasingly suspicious of Lady Julia’s new maid. She questions Miss Stanley’s loyalty and integrity,
wondering why she left her former employer so suddenly. And why does Regina seem ill at ease around the maid, as if they were previously
acquainted? Everyone, it appears, is on edge.
But things go from tense to tragic when their hostess meets an untimely end—mysteriously murdered in her bed with no signs of struggle. Now,
with suspects in every room, Lady Phoebe and Eva must uncover secrets hidden behind closed doors—before a killer ensures they never leave

Mystery bookstore owner and author Samantha Washington is working on a new
novel about murder and scandal in the household of Winston Churchill when she is
called on to prove that her Nana Jo’s been framed for the murder of rival granny
Maria Romanov, a loudmouth faker who’s taken the lead in the Shady Acres Senior
Follies, in the second book in V.M. Burns’ dual-storied Mystery Bookshop series.
The small town of North Harbor, Michigan, is just not big enough for the two of them: flamboyant phony Maria Romanov and feisty Nana Jo. The
insufferable Maria claims she’s descended from Russian royalty and even had a fling with King Edward VIII back in the day. She’s not just a lousy
liar, she’s a bad actress, so when she nabs the lead in the Shady Acres Senior Follies—a part Nana Jo plays every year in their retirement village
production—Nana Jo blows a gasket and reads her the riot act in front of everyone.
Of course, when Maria is silenced with a bullet to the head, Nana Jo lands the leading role on the suspects list. Sam’s been writing her newest
mystery, set in England between the wars, with her intrepid heroine Lady Daphne drawn into murder and scandal in the household of Winston
Churchill. But now she has to prove that Nana Jo’s been framed. With help from her grandmother’s posse of rambunctious retirees, Sam shines a

go head-to-head with ambition, deception—and each other…
Derrick. Ricky. Jamal. One’s responsible; one’s a player; one’s upwardly-mobile. Sentenced to the Branch Avenue Boys’ Youth Institute at twelve,
they grabbed the chance for better futures. They stayed tight even when their lives diverged—but the times…they are a-changing.
New deputy mayor Jamal is anti–corruption, which means severing ties with Ricky, now a “criminally-adjacent” businessman. But political power
plays and unrequited love will lead Jamal to a lethal choice…
DAFINA TRADE PAPERBACK DECEMBER 2018
Ricky doesn’t mind running a front for D.C.’s biggest drug dealer, but when he pursues a sexy customer at his strip club and discovers she’s a cop,
any wrong move could end Ricky’s good times permanently…
Now the Institute’s new leader, Derrick is torn between his job and his fiancée, Melissa. But when a cute new instructor who supports him and
his mission arrives, he wonders if he should leave Melissa behind, not the Institute. However, this dilemma is nothing compared to a problem
brewing right under his nose, and the fallout will strike at the heart of the three friends’ bond—and put more than their survival on the line…

CARMINE THE SNAKE
Frank DiMatteo and Michael Benson
Today, Carmine “The Snake” Persico schmoozes with Ponzi king Bernard Madoff
behind bars, where at age 84 Persico’s legend, packed as it is with coldblooded
brutality, continues to inspire goodfellas everywhere through this shocking true story
of the most ruthless and deadly mob boss in the annals of the American Mafia.
In the golden age of organized crime, Carmine “The Snake” Persico was the King of the Streets. The defacto boss of the Colombo Mafia family
since the 1970s, he oversaw gang wars, murders, and major rackets, even from prison. He is suspected of personally murdering as many as 60
people and ordering the hits of hundreds more. Sentenced to 139 years, he continued to exert power over a vast criminal empire from behind
bars. His brutal rise and bloody reign is the stuff of legend.
CITADEL PRESS THARDCOVER SEPTEMBER 2018
In this blistering street-level account, “Mafia survivor” Frank DiMatteo teams up with true-crime master Michael Benson to take down one of the
most notorious figures in the American La Cosa Nostra. This is the real inside story of Carmine “The Snake” Persico, from his crime-filled childhood
on the streets of Brooklyn to the long-term jail sentences that didn’t stop him from controlling his criminal empire with the help of his brother, the
equally kill-crazy Alphonse “Allie Boy” Persico.
His deadly teen years as leader of the fearsome Garfield Boys. His induction into the Profaci—later the Colombo—crime family. His bloody
betrayal of the Gallo brothers. His role in the hair-raising ambush-slaying of Albert Anastasia—the Lord High Executioner of Murder, Inc.—as he

CHIN
Larry McShane
The first-ever and definitive biography of one of the Mafia’s greatest—and
deadliest—bosses, Vincent “Chin” Gigante, the Genovese Family crime overlord
who ruled a sprawling criminal empire for a quarter century with an iron—and
deadly—fist. Vinnie “Chin” Gigante displayed signs of insanity that stunned the
public, stymied the police and the F.B.I., and secured his power for decades. Was
he really crazy? Or crazy like a fox?
He started out as a professional boxer—until he found his true calling as a ruthless contract killer. Hand-picked by Vito Genovese to run the
Genovese Family when Vito was sent to prison, Chin raked in more than $100 million for the Genovese family and routinely ordered the murders

hundred made men, making the Genovese Family the most powerful in the U.S.
And yet Vincent “Chin” Gigante was, to all outside appearances, certifiably crazy.
He wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in a ratty bathrobe and slippers. He urinated in public, played pinochle in storefronts, and hid a

ICED IN
Chris Turney
Iced In is the inside story of how an Antarctic exploration to study climate change
on the polar ice caps became a fight for survival and a worldwide media sensation,
written by the scientist who led the expedition.
“The Antarctic Factor: if anything can go wrong, it will. It’s basically Murphy’s Law on steroids…”
—Chris Turney
On Christmas Eve 2013, off the coast of East Antarctica, an abrupt weather change trapped the Shokalskiy—the ship carrying earth scientist
Chris Turney and seventy-one others involved in the Australasian Antarctic Expedition—in a densely packed armada of sea ice, 1400 miles from
civilization. With the ship’s hull breached and steerage lost, the wind threatened to drive the vessel into the frozen continent, smashing it to

pieces. If nearby floating icebergs picked up speed, they could cause a devastating collision, leaving little time to abandon ship and potentially
creating an environmental disaster. The forecast offered no relief—a blizzard was headed their way.
As Turney chronicles his modern-day ordeal, he revisits famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s harrowing Antarctic expedition almost a century
prior. His ship, Endurance, was trapped and ultimately lost to the ice, forcing Shackleton and his men to fight for survival on a vast and
treacherous icescape for two years. Turney also draws inspiration from Douglas Mawson, whose Antarctic explorations were equally legendary.
