Publisher's summary
Running low on funds, Macey Spade has accepted a new job—as a teaching assistant at Whaler’s Bay College, presiding over a class on Time-Travel in Film and Fiction. Macey anticipates a relaxed semester grading papers and browsing the stacks of the college library, but fate has several cruel tricks in store for her.
A phone call from crime scene investigator Roddy Overstreet informs her that a body has been found in the dockyards of Whaler’s Bay, in an empty warehouse storing various decorations and supplies for the upcoming fall festival. The body belongs to Perla Waffler, a forty-something heiress with a distinct lack of social awareness. Having but recently arrived in Whaler’s Bay, Perla seemed largely oblivious to the chilly reception she had received from the locals. But who would hate her enough to kill her?
Meanwhile back at the college, all is not well. The new Residence Life Coordinator, Anatole Grahame, is leading a secretive and tightly-knit student group some are alleging is a cult. The members of the group claim to possess extraordinary prophetic and magical powers. When the Dean of Campus Life enlists Macey to infiltrate the group, she finds herself drawn into the orbit of two students—Arianna Marlark, a dreamy theology student, and Gareth Frieslan, a fedora-wearing poet and music-lover. When a member of the group is murdered, Macey must act quickly to uncover Harris’s true origins and break the spell he holds over the group before disaster falls on all parties.
And are these two murders related?

Story
It was supposed to be a holiday to fix the cracks in our fractured family. I knew the seven days would be endless, but I never imagined that one of us would only survive for six of them… As I carry my case into the charming and rustic cottage and smile at my sister-in-law, Kelli, I allow myself a moment of hope. Perhaps this holiday will force our family to address our long-held grudges and leave with the promise of a happier future.

Story
Amateur sleuth Geneva Pomolo is once again drawn into mystery when she helps to acquire a rare collection of signed classics for the town library. The books were terribly expensive - and more than one person is after them. When the glass display housing the books is smashed and the books vanish, Geneva and her best friend Iris are drawn into the case. Their task is to recover the collection before it disappears into the hands of a private collector. But a wave of robberies in Wrangler’s Hill has the entire town on edge, and it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

What???
This was beyond twisted. I kept changing suspects as the story progressed. I was so far off base. I really hate cults, but this was such a miscarriage of focusing on the wrong thing. By the end I was flabbergasted. It takes a deluded mind to stage these murders!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
