19 CRIMINALS
Maizie Albright Star Detective 8
by Larissa Reinhart
Releases January 16
It's Spy vs Spy — or rather, Detective vs Detective — when Maizie and Nash realize they're both tailing the same subject for very different reasons. Can Maizie out-investigate Nash to learn the secrets he’s probing into at her father’s company? Her relationship is on the line, but it's more than her heart at stake. Her career rests on this case. And there’s a killer at large. One who will do anything to keep dark secrets from getting dragged into the light.
A SWATCH OF MURDER
by Summer Prescott
Released December 1

DIRT & DECEIT
A Clean Sweep Cozy Mystery
by Dianne Harman
Releases December 16
Known for her keen ability to unravel the most confounding mysteries, Jane is approached by a high-society socialite to solve a case that’s as scandalous as it is deadly: the murder of the socialite's boyfriend. As Jane delves deeper into the opulent world of the wealthy, she quickly learns that beneath the veneer of privilege and glamour lie the same passions and pitfalls that affect us all – love, jealousy, and, in this case, murder.
