Par Lis W Wiehl. 2011
"At first glance, the crimes appear random. Arson. Theft. Fraud. Murder. But these are more than random crimes. They're moves…
in an increasingly deadly game. And the one element they have in common: a woman who is gorgeous, clever... and lethal. Elizabeth Avery has a winsome smile and flawless figure, but underneath is a heart of ice. She's a master manipulator, convincing strangers to do the unthinkable. And she orchestrates it all without getting too close. Until now. When Elizabeth ruthlessly disposes of an inquisitive young reporter, her crime catches the attention of Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, and crime reporter Cassidy Shaw. They know they're dealing with a cold-blooded murderer who could strike at any time. What they don't know is that they're already on a first-name basis with the killer. And one of them may be next on her list." -- GoodreadsLa sed

as a result of this loss will fall into a spiral of sadness, remorse, and despair, which will lead him to face the same vice that overshadowed the possibilities of happiness in his childhood and youth. Mourning becomes a shadow that looms over all his actions and thoughts, and his present becomes a continuous wandering through bad memories and black omens. The abandonment and humiliation to which alcohol leads him cause him to fall out with the town and his loved ones. Ausencio is the story of a descent into hell, of a son who fears repeating his father's mistakes, of a young man who seems to be followed by three ghostly women to announce a fateful destiny, of a man who flees and exposes himself in the open to the face of his death." -- Translation provided by NLSUn diamante al rojo vivo (Dortmunder mystery #01)

Ethan McKinney lends her a shoulder to lean on. And as a carpenter, he volunteers to help Ann get the Fletcher family home into shape for selling. His strong presence is a pleasing distraction. Ann's twelve-year-old neighbor, Keith, has Down Syndrome and the guile to believe he can actually see and hear angels. In fact, he insists they are looking out for her in ways she's never imagined. God begins to reveal himself to Ann--both in her newfound friends and through supernatural events. As she discovers the very real presence of angels around her, will she finally open her heart to receive God's healing love?" -- GoodreadsImitación de Guatemala: cuatro novelas breves

former Chicago Stars quarterback, Cooper Graham. Problem? Graham's spotted her, and he's not happy. Which is why a good detective needs to think on her feet. "The fact is...I'm your stalker. Not full-out barmy. Just...mildly unhinged." Piper soon finds herself working for Graham himself, although not as the bodyguard he refuses to admit he so desperately needs. Instead, he's hired her to keep an eye on the employees at his exclusive new nightclub. But Coop's life might be in danger, and Piper's determined to protect him, whether he wants it or not. (Hint: Not!) If only she weren't also dealing with a bevy of Middle Eastern princesses, a Pakistani servant girl yearning for freedom, a teenager who just wants to fit in, and an elderly neighbor demanding Piper find her very dead husband. And then there's Cooper Graham himself, a legendary sports hero who always gets what he wants-even if what he wants is a feisty detective hell bent on proving she's as tough as he is." -- GoodreadsRespira (Bad Ash #02)
