Then Nora and her sisters receive word of a million-dollar inheritance.... Great-aunt Madeleine Blackbird has died in a volcanic eruption on an Indonesian island and left her fabulous Bucks County estate to the three Blackbird sisters. But when Nora and her scandal-ridden sisters, Libby and Emma, go to claim their windfall, they find the house in decay and all of their aunt’s to-die-for treasures gone. They also find a woman’s body.... Nora feels compelled to seek out the truth, but even with help from her mobster boyfriend, Mick Abruzzo, who provides distractions both dark and delightful, solving this case proves challenging. Relatives are circling to claim a share of Madeleine’s property, the suspect list is growing, and Nora’s wild and wacky sisters are adding one surprise after another. It’s enough to put Nora’s couture undies in a serious twist!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maud is an irascible 88-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and... no qualms about a little murder. This funny, irreverent story collection by Helene Tursten, author of the Irene Huss investigations, features two-never-before translated stories that will keep you laughing all the way to the retirement home. Ever since her darling father's untimely death when she was only eighteen, Maud has lived in the family's spacious apartment in downtown Gothenburg rent-free, thanks to a minor clause in a hastily negotiated contract. That was how Maud learned that good things can come from tragedy. Now in her late eighties, Maud contents herself with traveling the world and surfing the net from the comfort of her father's ancient armchair. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way. Over the course of her adventures—or misadventures—this little bold lady will handle a crisis with a local celebrity who has her eyes on Maud's apartment, foil the engagement of her long-ago lover, and dispose of some pesky neighbors. But when the local authorities are called to investigate a dead body found in Maud's apartment, will Maud finally become a suspect?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotionally adrift after the traffic accident death of beloved policeman husband Billy Dillon, Martina Lambucci Dillon rebounded into two ill-advised marriages, two affairs, a multi-million dollar theft, the murder of her protected witness husband, Robert Costello, and her own near death from a bullet into her stomach. A torturing physical rehab regimen she at first abhors strengthens her resolve to turn her life around. She gains strength, physically and mentally, but pre-wound intimacy with business mogul Phillip Stanton and U.S ranger Ross Vincennes threaten to harm her promising recovery. Both men offer huge financial incentives if she renews their relationships. Stanton heads his own sizeable business and Vincennes hijacked the $3 million Costello stole from Stanton. Stantons thirst for both Marty and revenge against Costello result in Costellos death. He then sends a killer after Martys new love, her therapist, Julius Warshawsky.
