For my youngest baby basset’s end of year report he chose the Minotaur. A mythical creature that has the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man. Sounds interesting, until you realize that you need to make a costume. So far I have gotten as far as using toilet paper rolls as the horns. I am not a costume maker in the least bit. My poor kid is going to be wrapped up in a light blue bed sheet with toilet paper rolls on his head. I hope he remembers all the good things I have done for him since the day he was born, while he is standing in front of that screen, Zooming with the class. I know the other moms. They are masters at this stuff. I will have a small cake ready for him after his presentation.

From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets — the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living… while other people are making a killing.
The Superior Club is where Fort Lauderdale’s wealthiest — and snobbiest — come to play. But for Helen Hawthorne, it’s all work and no play. As a customer care clerk, it’s her job to cater to the clients’ every little whim and take care of their every little problem.
But Helen has a very big problem of her own. After an acrimonious reunion with her ex-husband Rob, she ends up belting the bum in the mouth — which invites suspicion when Rob goes ominously missing. And when a club employee and a philandering member are found beaten to death with a golf club, the police assume Helen was the deadly duffer.
With her freedom — and yet another job — on the line, Helen has no choice but to prove that someone else at the high-class club is a low-down killer…

London in the spring of 1955 and someone’s impregnating glass with vast quantities of prohibited uranium and selling it to the highest bidder.

Spy (and ex-thief) Tristram Upshott has recruited his niece, Rosa Stone, to be a mole at the offices of Heaviside Import/Exports. 19 years young, a Cambridge drop-out and serial absconder, Rosa’s not an obvious candidate for this line of work. However, Rosa possesses an unusual ability; she’s got a photographic memory. Tristram and Rosa’s quest to solve the mystery of the yellow glass will take them from London coffee bars and jazz clubs to the Kent coast and a gigantic uranium distillery secreted inside one of the white cliffs of Dover.
Exciting, funny, outrageous and down to earth, this is a spy story with a difference.

Normally Reece doesn’t handle the details of donation requests personally, but when he sees her name on the introductory letter, he can’t stop himself. He royally messed things up with Piper when they dated before, but he’d never been able to forget her. Helping her navigate the unexpected roadblocks to getting her garden would help make that up to her. And if he is really lucky, maybe he can convince her to give him a second chance.
