Aunt Dimity Digs in
by Nancy Atherton
The latest in this enchanting and fast-selling series, featuring the beloved ghost Aunt Dimity, opens in a picturesque English cottage where the lovable Lori Shepherd is up to her elbows in pureed carrots and formula bottles, striving to be the perfect mother to twins! Luckily, a beautiful Italian nanny arrives just in time—so Lori can help settle the local civil war stirred up by a visiting archaeologist's excavation. With Reginald, the stuffed pink rabbit and Edmond Terrance, the stuffed tiger in tow, Lori hunts down a missing document, and the archaeologist digs up a lot more than artifacts. It is Aunt Dimity's magic blue notebook that provides the key to buried secrets and domestic malice, and shows all the residents of Finch that even the darkest acts can be overcome by forgiveness.

The Puzzled Heart
by Carolyn G. Heilbrun
"Eminently readable and satisfying," said P. D. James about Amanda Crosss acclaimed New York mysteries featuring English professor Kate Fansler. Those accolades apply equally to The Puzzled Heart, in which Kate Fansler's husband Reed is kidnapped--and will be killed unless Kate obeys the carefully delineated directives of a ransom note.Tormented by her own puzzled heart, Kate seeks solace and wise counsel from both old friends and new. But who precisely is the enemy? Is he or she a vengeful colleague? A hostile student? A terrorist sect? The questions mount as Kate searches for Reed--accompanied by her trusty new companion, a Saint Bernard puppy named Bancroft.Hovering near Kate and Bancroft, almost within touch, are rampant cruelties and calculated menace. The madness of our time is on the move. And the moment is ripe for murder. . . .The elegant crime novels of Amanda Cross have thrilled a generation of readers. The Puzzled Heart reconfirms her standing as the reigning master of the literary mystery.
You Bet Your Life
by
Stella's friends all want her to tell them that their love lives are going to get better; she can't figure out what to do with her own. The weather forecast for Denver is hotter and hotter; she doesn't have air conditioning. And on her desk is a letter foretelling her death. No wonder, then, that when some friends need a fourth for a weekend of bridge and other games of chance, Stella accepts. She's not particularly fond of bridge, and the people in the group are so angry with one another that it doesn't take an astrologer to know the bidding's going to be for blood, but it will be cooler in the mountains and people do get lucky ... The question the stars aren't answering is whether Stella's luck is going to be good or bad.
