As Good As Dead
The finale to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series. By the end of this
mystery series, you'll never think of good girls the same way again...
Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last
investigation ended. She’s used to online death threats in the wake of her
viral true-crime podcast, but she can’t help noticing an anonymous person who
keeps asking her: Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?
Soon the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in
real life. When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local
serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is
behind bars.
Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself—or
be the next victim. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything
in her small town is coming full circle... and if she doesn’t find the answers,
this time she will be the one who disappears...
In the Spirit of French Murder
After moving to France, Tabitha Knight has a new friend in fellow expat
and Cordon Bleu student Julia Child, whose culinary tips can come in quite
handy. But something’s cooking in postwar Paris, and it isn’t just cheese
soufflé…
Tabitha has enjoyed an entertaining afternoon in Julia’s kitchen, but her
return home is a bit jarring. As she arrives at her grandfather’s rue de
l’Universitémansion, a woman bursts out the door babbling about messages from
spirits and a warning Grand-père must heed. Oncle Rafe angrily sends the woman
on her way, and neither man will answer Tabitha’s questions.
It’s not the last she sees of the mysterious visitor. While she’s on a date
that evening, she’s accosted by her again—and learns that Madame Vierca is a
medium who claims to have visions of a dark fate that awaits Grand-père and
Oncle Rafe. The very next night, Tabitha’s messieurs host a
soiree at their new restaurant, inviting fellow Resistance fighters from the
war known as the Nine Bluets. To commemorate the work of the Resistance
network, the vase on the dinner table sports nine of the pretty blue flowers.
But shortly after the revelers leave the restaurant, one of Grand-père’s old
friends is found dead on the street . . . and one of the nine flowers is
missing from the vase. When a second member of the Nine Bluets is found
poisoned the next day, and a bluet flower is left with the body, Tabitha cannot
ignore Madame Vierca’s frightening predictions about her dear messieurs. She
has no choice but to share her suspicions and fears with the enigmatic and
unruffled Inspecteur Merveille.
Tabitha soon finds herself caught up in an investigation that takes her and
Merveille to the seediest, most dangerous parts of the Left Bank—home of
strange, fantastical legends, disquieting events, and unusual people. As she
and Merveille desperately try to find a killer, they know they don’t have much
time before the rest of the Nine Bluets are targeted . . . including Grand-père
and Oncle Rafe.
A Ghastly Catastrophe
Veronica and Stoker are practically dying for a new adventure but when
their wish is granted, they find themselves up against a secret society and a
darkly seductive duo in this landmark historical mystery from beloved New
York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–nominated author Deanna
Raybourn.
When the corpse of an entitled young man is found entirely drained of blood in
a carriage next to Highgate Cemetery, Veronica’s interest is piqued. And then a
second victim is found, his death made to look like a suicide, and Veronica and
her intrepid beau, Stoker, know the hunt is on. The two men share one link:
they were both members of a society so secretive that only a singular mention
of it can be found anywhere.
Thirsty for more clues, Veronica and Stoker hear that a young Roma boy may know
more about their first victim, but the only way to the boy is through an old
acquaintance of Stoker’s, Lady Julia Brisbane. Lady Julia and her dashing
husband, Nicholas, occasionally track down murderers and are only too happy to
help. But as it becomes clear the secret society is a dangerous sect looking to
entice immortality seekers, Veronica and Stoker find themselves ensnared by a
decidedly more sinister couple.
The professed leader of the society claims to be a creature of the night; his
partner practices witchcraft and they both fancy themselves emissaries of the
otherworldly. Just as Veronica and Stoker get closer to learning the true
purpose of the society and unraveling this macabre mystery, another body turns
up, and they quickly discover they’ve gone from being the hunters to the
hunted. . . .
