MULLED MURDER
KINGSBURY, KATE
With one of her housemaids leaving to get married, Cecily Sinclair Baxter wants nothing more for
Christmas than some good help. Instead of visions of sugar plums, she’s calling the plumber to deal with
flooded bathrooms. Then there’s the surly new janitor, who acts like he got coal in his stocking. But as
Cecily scrambles to hire and train new staff in time for the holidays, one of her guests is beyond help.
Gerald Evans is found stabbed to death on the beach, and Cecily soon discovers he was a private
investigator from London looking into dark doings involving the Pennyfoot.

MURDER AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
HESS, JOAN
Longtime bookseller and single mother, Claire Malloy has recently married her long term beau and moved
out of her less than opulent apartment into a sprawling, newly remodeled house. Her daughter, Caron, is
making plans for college. All of which leaves Claire with something she hasn't had in quite a while: spare
time. When her attempts to learn French cooking start getting "mixed" reviews, she agrees to help Caron
and her best friend Inez in fluffing up their college applications by volunteering as an ESL tutor with the
Farberville Literacy Council. But her modest effort to give back quickly becomes a nightmare when she's
railroaded onto the Board of Directors of the troubled nonprofit. Just as she decides that it might be best
to extricate herself, Claire gets a frantic call from her husband, Deputy Chief Peter Rosen. One of the
students, an older Russian woman named Ludmilla, famed for her unpleasantness, has been murdered in
the offices of the Farberville Literary Council.

MURDER SHE WROTE: CLOSE-UP ON MURDER
FLETCHER, JESSICA
Cabot Cove is about to be invaded—by Hollywood. One of Jessica’s older novels is being made into a
big-budget movie. The producer has decided to shoot most of the film on location in town, since the book
was loosely based on a murder that shocked Cabot Cove over a decade earlier. The murder occurred
when a judge was gunned down while walking her dog.. Unfortunately, everyone on the set has a hidden
agenda. A novice director wants his shot at the big-time. A fading star, making a comeback, has many
unreasonable demands. And a stranger on the movie lot is stalking Jessica. But fiction and reality fatally
collide when the actress playing the judge is shot—the only witness her dog—and there’s a cast and crew
of possible suspects.
