In “Murder By The Sea” by Jennifer Steil, a housekeeper discovers a body impaled on a broken vodka bottle by the Aral Sea, and the entire town falls under suspicion.

In “The Elevating Power Of Art” by Liv Strom, a last-minute heist allows common burglar Ricky the chance to live out his dream of joining the elegant world of art theft, but he soon discovers it is not as easy as it first seems.

“Happy To Help” by Carl Robinette: Daisy Belle is always happy to help and she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. When her buddy, Ray Gage, is arrested for murder, Daisy will stop at nothing to prove his innocence.

“Under Water” by Josh Pachter: Owning a home isn't for the fainthearted, even when the weather is fine. When disaster strikes, though, desperate times call for desperate measures …

“A Cozy Arrangement” A You-Solve-It By John H. Dromey: Natural causes or a sinister plot? It’s difficult to say when a petite piece of evidence—a potentially important clue—goes missing.
