Old World Murder

A Chloe Ellefson Mystery

Kathleen Ernst

Hoping to leave behind her heartbreaking past, Chloe Ellefson makes a fresh start as the new collections curator at Old World Wisconsin. This outdoor ethnic museum charms visitors with authentic historical artifacts and costumed employees who churn butter, make shoes, and reenact 1870s settlement life. But Chloe’s first day on the job only brings misfortune when an elderly woman pleads with her to find the priceless eighteenth-century Norwegian ale bowl that she donated to the museum years ago. Minutes later, the disappointed woman dies in a mysterious car crash.

Throwing herself into a dangerous investigation, Chloe discovers that someone is desperately trying to erase all traces of the bowl’s existence by any means necessary … including murder. With the unnervingly attractive part-time cop Roelke McKenna at her side, Chloe must solve a decades-old puzzle, catch a covetous killer, and stay alive in this deadly heirloom hunt.

If You Can’t Stand the Heat

Poppy Markham: Culinary Cop

Robin Allen

Poppy Markham knows the restaurant biz. She practically grew up at her dad’s restaurant, a beloved eatery in Austin, Texas, and—until recently—worked as a sous chef under her surly stepsister Ursula. Poppy’s not sure if her dad will ever forgive her for leaving Markham’s Grille to become a public health inspector—the most feared figure in the restaurant industry. Despite everything, Poppy agrees to help at the restaurant’s grand re-opening featuring Michelin-rated chef Evariste Bontecou. Chaos ensues when Evariste is found stabbed to death with Ursula’s knife. Mon dieu!

Weeding through everyone who had it in for the hot-headed, philandering chef is like deboning a Coho salmon. Could it be the bad boy sous chef eyeing his chance at the top or the pretty waitress rumored to be Evariste’s paramour de jour? Interrogating the kitchen crew soon propels Poppy out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Deadly Currents

An RM Outdoor Adventure Mystery

Beth Groundwater

The Arkansas River is the heart and soul of Salida, Colorado. It fuels the small town’s economy and thrums in the blood of twenty-seven-year-old Mandy Tanner, a river ranger. When a whitewater rafting accident occurs, she deftly executes a rescue, but a man dies anyway. But it wasn’t the river rapids that killed him; it was poison. Tom King was a rich land developer with bitter business rivals, who cheated on his wife, refused to support his kayak-obsessed son, and infuriated environmentalists.

Mandy cooperates with the local sheriff’s department to solve the murder. But little does she know how greatly the case will affect those she loves, including her beloved Uncle Bill—the respected owner of an outfitting business, out of whose raft Tom King fell. She goes on an emotionally turbulent quest for the truth—and ends up in dangerous waters.
