Someone is targeting Toledo's single women when they turn forty, tucking them into bed and turning birthday greetings into obituaries. Newly-assigned Toledo Homicide Detective Veronica Jadzinski vows to prevent the body count from increasing and to prove her transfer from Narcotics wasn't a fluke-departmental regulations, disparaging lieutenants, and a rigid new partner be damned. Jadz learns to trust a new partner while balancing the unwanted attentions of an almost-ex-husband, a needy widowed mother, and a drama queen sister as the detectives fight to unravel the bizarre murders. When the killer targets Jadz's sister, things get personal. Jadz must heal an old family rift to stop the murders and protect those who really matter.

Baffled in Boston marks the debut of the most likable-and unlikely-sleuth to come along in years. Burned-out true-crime writer Scotty Scotland has been abandoned by his wife, ordered to give up coffee by his doctor, and according to his latest review, he should give up writing too. He spends his days winning imaginary arguments with his wife, defacing reviews of his novels, and counting flowers on the wallpaper. But when his best friend Molly, a nationally syndicated advice columnist, is murdered, Scotty must get out of his pajamas and into action to find the killer ..."Dear Molly, I'm competing with 18,000 preachers, plumbers, writers, shrinks-and a set of quintuplets-to be the new you. If I win the contest, I could solve a lot of problems ... and maybe your murder, too. The problem is, between the paper's sleazy management, bitter rival columnists, and the psychos who read your column, I've got more suspects than Walgreen's has Rolaids, and so far, I've only ruled out Ann and Abby ...Baffled in Boston, Scotty"

Zach wakes up with no memory, no phone, and no clothes except his stripper g-string. And oh yeah! There's that pesky naked dead guy in bed next to him. Problem is Zach's not gay. Or a murderer. At least, he doesn't think so. Only one person can help him, his sister, Zora. Of course Zora's got problems of her own-she has three kids at home and is eight months pregnant with the fourth. So she's a bit cranky. But that's not going to stop her from helping her brother. With kids in tow, the siblings set out to find the true killer, clear Zach's name, and reassure Zach he's not gay. ***** "An hilarious murder mystery romp. Ride along with Zach and Zora on this most entertaining of mysteries." -Heather Brainerd, author of the Jose Picada, P.I. mystery series "A fun, quirky whodunit so full of wild antics, it will keep you guessing...when you're not giggling." -Heather Greenis, author of The Natasha Saga "Bad Day in a Banana Hammock will have you wiping up tears of hysterical laughter." -Suzanne de Montigney, author of the Shadow of the Unicorn series

But just like last time, big sister, Zora-private investigator supreme-comes to the rescue, complete with four kids in tow. Nuttiness, chaos, and mystery ensue as Zach and Zora race against the clock to prove his innocence. No clue is too big, no clue is too small. Even if it involves dancing cops, ex-radical hippy militants, pompous pastors, or a creepy set of "Furries" (don't ask!)
