Detective Isaac Triarrd of the Springvale Police Department is already dreading the advent of Christmas, "when what to his wondering eyes should appear," but the assignment of a new partner; yet another unwelcome adjustment for the taciturn sleuth. Happily for Triarrd, desperate to fill the aching void left by the recent death of his wife, an anonymous note has appeared among the few holiday cards on the senior detective's desk, hinting that the death of wealthy valley socialite, Helen Danford-Marshall, although ruled a heart attack by her attending physician, was in fact, a murderous yuletide gift to all! Now, a disgruntled Triarrd and his anxious new partner, Leonardo Rossi, will work together for the first time to unwrap the face of a killer!

A sleuth rescues two orphaned Golden Retrievers—and tries to solve their master’s murder—in this “delightful” mystery from the Agatha Award finalist (Publishers Weekly). This year, all Melanie wants for Christmas is a dull moment. Between her teaching job, and showing her Standard Poodle puppy, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. But when her son Davey’s usual bus driver, Henry Pruitt, disappears and is replaced by a surly, pierced twentysomething, Melanie is concerned. The elderly, amiable Henry was a friend to all in the neighborhood, so she decides to check on him…only to find that he died two days earlier, under suspicious circumstances. As if that weren’t bad enough, Henry’s two Golden Retrievers are now bereft of both master and home. Melanie can’t just abandon them, so she brings them to her Aunt Peg, the most stubborn woman on the planet, who’s now determined to find out the truth about Henry's death, no matter what it takes. Soon, the indomitable Aunt Peg has Melanie making a list of suspects and checking it twice. And unless she sniffs out this Scrooge of a killer fast, a lump of coal in her stocking may not be the worst thing Melanie gets this Christmas… “As ever, the author provides a captivating behind-the-scenes look at the world of show dogs.”—Publishers Weekly "Melanie Travis is a terrific character."--Romantic Times

Just when you thought it was safe to enjoy Christmas Vacation, fifteen-year-old Adriana Hofstetter is back with another case to solve. She and her mother are volunteers at the Hollywood Historical Society, a group of Hollywood old-timers and preservationists dedicated to saving what's left of classic Hollywood iconography. When one of their key players kills himself, Adriana begins to wonder if the suicide isn't really murder. Using her journalistic skills, she begins a mission to uncover the truth. Along the way, she meets an incredibly colorful cast of characters, and learns all about Hollywood when it was not only a place but also a state of mind. It's a sometimes dangerous, sometimes treacherous journey, but Adriana Hofstetter cannot-and will not-stop until she reaches the journey's end. Her mother Margaret is back (and listening to her classic rock-and-roll as loud as ever), as are Adriana's best friend, musical theater-loving Billy Feldman, and her cat, Furball. And Detectives Ramirez and Coyne are back, too, as skeptical as ever. Murder At The Hollywood Historical Society is fast, funny, and filled with wonderful portraits of Hollywood, then and now. And, of course, a mystery to be solved.
