Upcoming Crime & Mystery

Cassie Mayheim, mystery bookstore owner and self-anointed super sleuth, has solved every fictional case she’s ever read. So when her best friend surprises her with an Alaskan WhoDunIt cruise for her fortieth birthday, she’s ready to put her skills to the test. But the staged murder begins to feel all too real when Cassie senses danger lurking beneath the surface.

For seasoned cruise performer Hannah Garcia, the scripted mystery is just another day at work—until she stumbles into a deadly twist she never saw coming and her life is suddenly on the line. As danger closes in, the only person she can trust is Cassie, the captivating passenger she just met. But Cassie isn’t just another tourist—she’s Hannah’s only hope.

As the ship sails deep into icy waters, they must unravel a mystery that’s no longer a game—because this time, the killer isn’t playing by the script.

Award-winning crime writers J.M. Redmann and Rob Byrnes bring together their iconic characters—hard-boiled PI Micky Knight and charming con artists Grant Lambert and Chase LaMarca—in a fast-paced crossover that’s both grit and grift.

Private investigator Micky Knight tries to keep things mostly legal. But that line gets blurry when she crosses paths with Grant and Chase in a swanky French Quarter bar, and on the other side of her barstool two feuding anti-LGBTQ crusaders are trying to work together. They happen to be carrying a large amount of gold that Grant and Chase would like to relieve them of. Micky doesn't like to break the law, but sometimes the cause is just, right? After all, what could go wrong? Actually, can anything go right?

How far will you go for someone who was never yours?

When a distraught woman bursts into a Louisiana diner, truck driver Cass Blaney doesn’t think twice about offering her a ride out of town. Florence is running from an abusive husband, and Cass is compelled to help.

But is Florence really who she claims to be? As Cass brings her along on long hauls across the South, robberies and bodies seem to be pursuing them along the hot asphalt. Cass wants to believe in coincidences, but Florence’s secrets are impossible to ignore.

Drawn in by her growing love for Florence, Cass crosses line after line to protect her. And soon they’re burying a body together.

In the sweltering heat of the swamp, trust turns to obsession and love becomes a weapon. Does Florence love Cass too, or is she setting her up to take the fall?

Sydney Wade, aquatic landscape designer, is easygoing and easy on the eyes, but her true talent lies in mischief. Funny and fearless, she’s known for her elaborate pranks, much to the horror of her uptight business partner, Marcus, who’s still traumatized by the alien invasion stunt that left him unconscious. There’s only one thing that truly scares Sydney: funerals.

Elle Woodsworth is charming, stylish, and so relentlessly cheerful she could bring sunshine to a cemetery, which is fitting, because she runs one. Elle’s an undertaker with a heart of gold and a perky ponytail to match. She’d be perfect for Sydney if only she wasn’t death’s doorman.

When Marcus arranges a blind date, sparks fly, then quickly fizzle when Sydney learns Elle’s profession. Creeped out, Sydney ghosts her until a tragedy reunites them. Sydney—guilt-ridden—offers to renovate the Woodsworths’ crumbling garden fountain. She didn’t expect to find a skeleton inside. Or that the skeleton wouldn’t be entirely dead.

Now they must unravel a decades-old mystery, fend off a restless spirit, and figure out whether love can survive where the dead don’t stay buried, and the living dig deeper.
