Murder & The Heir is the first book in the long-running Violet Carlyle cozy historical mystery series. The story takes place in 1922 at Christmastime when Violet heads to spend the holidays with aunt Agatha. Many of her family will be there despite the fact that Agatha has alienated her family for much of her life. Violet has been here before, but this time is different. This time aunt Aggie is claiming that someone is trying to kill her. Violet wonders if it could be true, but then it turns out to be all too true when she ends up dead. Agatha never named an heir to her fortune so why would anyone want her out of the picture? Vi will look to find out as she’s caught up in a murder investigation along with the rest of her family.
Something Wicked is the first book in the Smith Investigates Mystery series. Smith avoids the cases that he won’t get paid on as well as the ones he finds unsolvable. He also does his best to avoid the heart-rending cases. He doesn’t want to get pulled in and says no as soon as possible. That’s his plan, but his wife, Beatrice, doesn’t always follow it. She gets involved in those cases and that means that he’s involved as well.
