A meddlesome aunty, an editor-turned-amateur sleuth, and three aspiring widows—these three new cozy mysteries will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing out loud, and turning page after page until you solve their murders.
What's a mother to do when her daughter gets accused of murder? Why, assemble a band of quirky associates and use her masterful meddling skills to find the real killer and clear her name, of course!
Kausar Khan returns to Toronto after her daughter Sana finds her landlord sprawled on the floor of her clothing store with a dagger from her window display plunged into his heart. When Sana is arrested for the murder, Kausar becomes determined to find the real killer, only to realize it's just one of many recent crimes that have remained unsolved. And if Kausar and her friends aren't careful, they might make it to the murderous list, too...
When their husbands lose their savings to a botched investment, best friends Pam, Nancy, Shalisa and Marlene are desperate to find a new way to fund their fast-approaching golden years. Fortunately for them, their husbands have seven-figure insurance policies.
Unfortunately for them, their retirement plan might now need to involve a couple of murders.
Even more unfortunate, their husbands might also have a murderous plan of their own.
Editor Susan Ryeland is working on a new manuscript, a murder mystery written by Eliot Crace, troubled grandson of the late Miriam Crace. Eliot is convinced his grandmother was poisoned twenty years ago.
When Susan realizes that the circumstances around the murder in the manuscript seems eerily similar to Eliot's claims about his grandmother's death, it becomes clear he's written clues about her death in the book.
Susan tries to keep her increasingly agitated author out of harm's way, and as another murder occurs, she must solve the mystery of the manuscript before it leads to her own murder.
