Featured Five

Halloween's got nothin' on him, not when Halloween's cousin, Thanksgiving, is here! And lo and behold, tearoom proprietor Abby Beanblossom is far from feelin' grateful. Her man's off someplace far away, a gang of birdwatchers seems set on trashing her venue, and there's a dead body on the beach aimin' fingers straight at her joint! Abby and Hyperion will need to call on all their wits, the mysterious tarot cards, and their peculiar pals to unveil the truth and free themselves from suspicion before a killer serves up a second helping of murder. - Kirsten Weiss, Darjeeling Dead

War rages on across the seas, and Dottie Lincoln, an abused wife, finds herself in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, tirelessly toiling to move men and materials to the battlefront. When one of her comrades falls victim to a gruesome murder, Dottie will have to put her foremost foot forward, expose a fiendish conspiracy threatening the American war effort, and decisively prove she ain't a German spy. - Kristi Jones, Murder in the Ranks

Dine your senses with the vivid colors of a harvest moon shinin' over luscious California vineyards as you join the lively charge of characters - like ace detective Casey Nolan, her diabetic son, and his loyal assistance dog - in an investigation with trimmings of family love and commemorative sweets. - Erin Hayden-Baldauf, Murder Under the Harvest Moon

Stuff your gourd with this quaint Eastern coast whodunit: When a body turns up among the rotting apples on a hayride, it's up to nosy former investigative journalist Casey Nolan, her trusted crew of brainy chums, and a smorgasbord of lively suspects to catch the killer before Thanksgiving parade is derailed by any more drama! - Julie Mulhern, Somewhere in the Night

Slick up your cornhusk bonnet and saddle up for a wild west Thanksgiving turkey mystery involving gunshots, a handsome detective, and some tasty pie. And just remember, ya can't blame the turkey! - Connie Shelton, Thankful Sweets
