pin--it'll take all her sweet magic to clear her name.

WHO WOULD RESORT TO MURDER?
Tucked away in the rolling hills of rural western Virginia is the
storybook resort of Storyton Hall, catering to book lovers who want
to get away from it all. To increase her number of bookings, resort
manager Jane Steward has decided to host a Murder and Mayhem week
so that fans of the mystery genre can gather together for some
role-playing and fantasy crime solving.
But when the winner of the scavenger hunt, Felix Hampden, is found
dead in the Mystery Suite, and the valuable book he won as his
prize is missing, Jane realizes one of her guests is an actual
murderer. Amid a resort full of fake detectives, Jane is bound and
determined to find a real-life killer. There's no room for error as
Jane tries to unlock this mystery before another vacancy opens
up...
Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a paradise for book lovers who come from all over for literary getaways. But manager Jane Steward is temporarily leaving for another renowned resort—in hopes of solving a twist-filled mystery . . .
Jane’s boyfriend is missing, and she thinks she may find him at North Carolina’s historic Biltmore Estate. Officially, she’s there to learn about luxury hotel management, but she’s also prowling around the breathtaking buildings and grounds looking for secret passageways and clues. One of the staff gardeners promises to be helpful . . . that is, until his body turns up in the reading room of his cottage, a book on his lap.
When she finally locates the kidnapped Edwin, his captor insists that she lead him back to Storyton Hall, convinced that it houses Ernest Hemingway’s lost suitcase, stolen from a Paris train station in 1922. But before they can turn up the treasure, the bell may toll for another victim . . .
Ellery Adams serves up a mystery that's a real peach...
Ella Mae LeFaye's Charmed Pie Shoppe is wildly popular in
Havenwood, Georgia--which is not surprising since Ella Mae can lace
her baked goods with enchantments. The shop's extraordinary success
seems destined to continue when Ella Mae meets an engaged couple
who hire her to handle the dessert buffet at their wedding.
But Ella Mae has a lot on her plate. She is also searching for the
origin of her magical powers--and hoping to determine if the spark
of attraction she feels for the handsome Hugh Dylan is authentic or
just her new abilities gone awry.
Then Ella Mae discovers a high-standing member of the community
dead, and a wedding guest becomes seriously ill at the event she's
catering. Now she'll have to use all her sleuthing skills and
culinary talents to prove her pies don't contain a killer
ingredient . . .

"When Olivia Limoges and other Oyster Bay patrons of the arts
sponsor a retreat for famous storytellers, one of them is going to
have a very unhappy ending..."
Olivia thought gathering some of the most renowned storytellers in
one place would be a nice, simple way for herself and the Bayside
Book Writers to appreciate their talents. But things take a dark
turn when the most famous storyteller in the nation--the
captivating performer Violetta Devereaux--announces onstage that
she will meet her end in Oyster Bay.
When Violetta is discovered murdered after the show, everyone
involved with the retreat becomes a suspect. There are rumors that
Violetta, who grew up in extreme poverty in the Appalachian
Mountains, possessed an invaluable treasure. Now Chief Rawlings and
the Bayside Book Writers must work at a frenzied pace to solve the
crime before someone closes the book on "them."
