August 20 – Victoria Houston

Dead Madonna is the latest in the best-selling Loon Lake mystery series.  When the body of a lovely young woman is found floating beneath a party pontoon on a popular lake in northern Wisconsin on the same morning that a prominent widow is found bludgeoned in her gracious home. A charming resort town on the surface, life in Loon Lake turns murky as bank officials soon discover that both victims’ accounts have been looted – along with a dozen others. One grisly development after another further links the two murders even though the victims did not know each other. Wealthy Chicagoans, visiting entrepreneurs and the young denizens of “Party Cove” complicate the scene. Whoever thought life in the North woods could be this dangerous?

September 17 – Alex Matthews

With her remarkably savvy style, Matthews once again creates a world of murder and mystery devoted fans of Cassidy McCabe will find impossible to put down. Murder's Madness is very highly recommended.

Alex says: “I want Cass to come across as a typical woman, a person who reminds you of yourself or your female friends. When you read my books, I want you to be inside Cassidy's skin, to know what she's thinking and feeling and why she does what she does.  I hope that Starshine, the calico cat, will steal your heart and make you laugh."
