Par Jessica Fletcher. 2021
When Nelson Penzell, co-owner of a local art and treasure store in Cabot Cove, is murdered, the nail tech from…
Jessica Fletcher's favorite beauty parlor is the main suspect. After all, she's the one who ran out of the store screaming, covered in blood, and holding the murder weapon. Jessica is positive that despite the circumstances, Coreen can't possibly be guilty, and she's determined to prove it. When Michael Haggerty, handsome MI-6 agent and Jessica's old friend, is caught snooping around the victim's home, it's quickly apparent to her that she was right. Nelson has always had a bit of a reputation for being a rake, but Haggerty is sure his sins go far beyond what anyone in town imagined. If she wants to clear Coreen's name, Jessica will have to work alongside Michael to find out who killed Nelson—and maybe help bust a crime ring in the processJessica Fletcher has had plenty to worry about over her storied career, but she never had any reason to worry…
about her longtime publisher, Lane Barfield. So when mounting evidence of financial malfeasance leads to an FBI investigation of Lane, Jessica can't believe what she's reading. When Lane turns up dead, Jessica takes on the task of proving her innocence—she can't fathom someone she's known and trusted for so long cheating her. Sure enough, Jessica's lone-wolf investigation turns up several oddities and inconsistencies in the murder. Jessica knows something is being covered up, but what exactly? At the heart of Jessica's investigation lies a manuscript that Lane had intended to publish after all other publishers had turned it down. The problem is that the manuscript has disappeared. With her own life now in jeopardy, Jessica refuses to back off and sets her sights on learning the contents of that manuscript and what about it may have led to several murdersBeing Human: Chasers

On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E&’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds&’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the planets&’ royal families plan to marry. Before lasting peace can be established, an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and E&’ronoh back into all-out war. To save both worlds, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her own son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republic&’s interests in the investigation. But Axel&’s deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gella&’s faith in the Force. She&’s never met such a puffed-up, privileged party boy, and he&’s never met a more self-serious, relentless do-gooder. The harder they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation, the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be.
