Murder in Cascade
Jill Brown
When recently retired Ellen Douglas discovers a dead woman beneath a fallen tree in her beloved hometown park, she's certain it's a tragic accident—until the police chief's careful questions suggest otherwise. What begins as idle curiosity at the local diner quickly becomes a determined investigation, drawing on thirty years of experience uncovering hidden truths. As Ellen asks the questions no one else will, she uncovers a web of secrets that reaches far beyond her quiet Midwestern town, all while navigating new friendships, unexpected romance, and the surprising discovery that reinvention at fifty might just be the perfect time to solve a murder.

Deeds and Dead Ends
River T Thorn
A dead woman, a forged will, and a strip of headland worth killing for. Painter Brandy Davis expected a quiet summer at her inherited lighthouse, not a dead woman’s final request or a will that doesn’t add up. With Jasper, her sharp-tongued black cat who notices everything, Brandy follows Nell Ferris’s trail from a mysterious envelope to Whitmore & Associates, where one document could decide the fate of Moonstone Bay’s headland strip. Nell’s devoted carer, Daisy Kell, looks guilty enough to make the whole town suspicious: She inherits the property and knows every detail of Nell’s affairs. Then there’s Old Tom Ferris, Nell’s estranged brother, who wanted the land protected and argued with her over its future. Both have secrets. When a second death proves someone is willing to silence anyone who gets too close, Brandy realizes the forged will is only the beginning. With the killer closing in, she must uncover the truth before the headland strip, and the next life, becomes another dead end.
