Death of a Coupon Queen (Sophie Parker Mystery Series) by Jenna Harte
Genre – cozy mystery, mystery
Things are looking up for Sophie Parker who has settled into her new, poorer life in her small Blue Ridge town. She’s still working at the pirate-themed sports bar, the Booty Burgo, but also, she works a few hours a week doing children’s programming at the library, allowing her to tap into her Folklore degree and love of fairy tales. She and her curmudgeonly great aunt are getting along, for the most part, and her love life with airplane repo pilot AJ Devlin is on a good flight path. Her biggest challenge is learning the ins and outs of extreme couponing, but even that is improving as coupon group member and Powerball winner, Marla Naylor, is tutoring her. Sophie’s new normal is cut to bits when she arrives at Marla’s house to learn about using phone apps for shopping savings and finds her stabbed in the neck with her coupon sheers and her coupon binders missing.
When Marla’s coupon binders are discovered in Sophie’s nemesis, Vivie Danner’s car, the case seems solved, although Sophie has a hard time thinking Vivie would murder in such a messy fashion. With help from Marla’s neighbor, Ellie who is homebound taking care of her ill husband, Sophie and Vivie piece together the goings ons in the neighborhood. As it turns out, there were many people who might want Marla dead. But as Sophie uncovers secrets about the victim and other residents of town, someone is lurking close by, ready to cut her life short.

Appearances can be deceiving. And in Southern California, where the sun shines almost every day and make-believe has its own industry, it’s hard to tell what is real and what is merely illusion. Two inquiries come to MDPI on the same day that seem like fairly straight-forward missing person cases. But it doesn’t take long to discover there’s nothing ordinary about the disappearance of two beautiful sisters from Minnesota and an estranged heiress who has never touched her eight-figure fortune.

While Madeline’s partner, Mike Delaney, heads down to Los Angeles to search for his cousin’s vanished girlfriend and her sister, Madeline heads to San Luis Obispo in hopes of picking up a twelve-year-old trail at a Catholic boarding school. Their separate pursuits lead them into a world where a frightening reality hides behind a glossy veneer. With several lives hanging in the balance, Mike and Madeline are faced with daunting odds and ruthless criminals who will kill to keep what they have taken.

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 3) by Ellen Butler Books
Genre – Mystery / Thriller
Page Count – 270 pages
Cover Designer – RL Sather
Publishing Company – Power to the Pen
International bestselling and award-winning author Ellen Butler presents book three in the Karina Cardinal mystery series! Fans of Melinda Leigh and J.D. Robb, who love the humor of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum will adore this gripping mystery adventure.
The rainbows-and-unicorns period of her friends-to-lovers relationship with Mike Finnegan officially over, Karina Cardinal is taking a tactical retreat. No way is she calling him for rescue from one of her infamous “scrapes.”
Too bad trouble, if not her middle name, is a close relative.
Sadira Manon, friend and colleague of Karina’s sister Jillian, has been dropping way too much cash on designer labels for a middle school teacher. Even one who moonlights as a jewelry store clerk. But when she’s accused of theft, the loose diamond falling out of her purse is enough for the police to sing the song of their people—”Miranda Rights.”
Karina, Jilly, and Silverthorne Security join forces to investigate who’s setting Sadira up to take a fall, and why. They dig up a shady tangle of Russian mob ties and gambling debts. By the time Karina realizes they’ve dug too deep—and maybe a little too far outside the law—Jillian’s in trouble, and the only way out of this particular pot of hot water is to make that phone call…and hope Mike doesn’t let it go to voice mail.

Ann Jones knows the difference between a daydream, a fantasy, and a vision. She’s a decent, middle-class mom with a respectable husband and two kids. And a “wild imagination.”

But what kind of decent woman imagines her husband dead, a relocation across the country, a new career, the perfect boyfriend, and most importantly, Knitting Club?

Not just any old Knitting Club. This one has rules—not one of them concerns knitting.

Ann listens to the club members’ stories, becomes entangled in their lives, obeys their rules, and keeps her suspicions to herself.

Her independent existence is an awakening. Ann Jones has changed.

So what happens when she wakes up?

Steel Magnolias meets Stepford Wives. Moving, powerful, enchanting, and brimming with a glorious cast of characters; this is a joy.
