Ceremony is the first book in the Murders of Substance series. Dr. Kep Woodhead is a forensic toxicologist who is brilliant at their work, but also has a dark past. Bernadette Becker is a federal investigator who is getting one last chance at saving their career. The two are assigned to a strange poisoning case that involves a graduate student found dead from an overdose at a 15th-century chapel. There are many suspects and one of them wishes to keep Becker silent as they aren’t done killing. Can the two crack the case before the killer strikes again?
The Fenway Stevenson Mysteries series begins with The Reluctant Coroner. The book sees Fenway returning to the coastal town that she left behind after the death of her mother. Her father is practically king of the place, but the two are estranged. Fenway is pulled into a deepening conspiracy when the county coroner is murdered. The body count is rising and her father’s oil company definitely has something to do with it. Fenway will need to uncover the truth about what is going on before her own family bonds turn deadly.
