When Myrtle and her friend Miles set out for adventure on the high sea, they assume most of the trip's excitement will result from shore excursions to charming Alaskan villages. They feel as if their ship has come in. But when a fellow passenger disappears, Myrtle realizes she must seize the helm and find the killer...before more souls are lost

Playing Bunco may be fun...but murder proves a game-changer. Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover has never heard of the dice game Bunco. Regardless, she steps in as her daughter-in-law's sub and reluctantly puts her game face on. Bunco turns out to be child's play. But when a body is discovered, Myrtle realizes another game is afoot. Before long, she's playing cat and mouse with the killer. Can she track down the murderer before the game is up? Or, with the killer playing hard to get, will it end up being "no dice?"

Myrtle has decided that she's actually a very good cook. In fact, she feels she's such a good cook that she elects to hone her skills at a cooking school. She persuades her reluctant friend Miles to join her, convinced they both could use some inspiration in the kitchen. This cooking school enrolls one rather loudmouth student who quickly makes everyone fed-up. This unfortunate student, fond of telling tales out of school, learns that one man's meat is another man's poison. Myrtle and Miles must use class act detecting skills to learn who's been schooled in murder before someone else's goose gets cooked.

❝What do you mean, you came for the food? ... why would we have snacks here?!❞ ❝You were called the Death-EATERS, excuse me for jumping to conclusions!❞ ▬▬▬▬ There was a fine line between brave and stupid and Georgie Humphreys took pride in crossing it on a daily basis; from wandering into the Slytherin Common Room to find the perfect shade of green to falling asleep mid-telling off. Still, some would argue that attending a secret Deatheater meeting in the hopes there would be good food, did take it too far even though to Georgie it was only logical. After all, if they hadn't wanted hungry buggers walking in, perhaps they shouldn't have put " - Eater" in their name. [CREDIT TO JANICE SUNG FOR THE COVER ART]

❝So we've got Messrs Padfoot, Prongs, Moony and Wormtail ... and Madam Despa-three-toe. What the fuck, Exie, WHY?!❞ ❝My Animagus is a three-toed sloth! It's hilarious, put it on the fucking map, Black.❞ ▬▬▬▬ Nobody was quite sure how the Marauders came to be (although Exie Attia would like to take full credit for inviting James and Sirius into the group after an intense game of Gobstones). Whilst the boys had big dreams and would work days and nights to get it, Exie liked to think of herself as the mellow one especially because sometimes she literally couldn't keep her eyes open. Some people loved them, one person REALLY didn't but Exie Attia wouldn't change it for the world. With Fourth Year rolling around, Exie expected life to stay blissfully stagnant but that was just wishful thinking. After the shocking discovery that, despite sounding like the start of a bad joke, combining a narcoleptic with stressful Animagus training might not be the best idea, Exie finds herself excluded for the first time in, well ... ever. But even this might have been okay had a certain tantalising redhead not caught her eye... Yeah, Fourth Year might not go that well. [CREDIT TO JANICE SUNG FOR COVER ART]

❝I'm afraid I'm about as cool as a rubber duck...❞ ❝ So ridiculously cool then?❞ ▬▬▬▬ Quinton Granger was very much like his younger sister, Hermione Jean Granger, well known for his studious nature among peers. However, there was a significant difference between the two, unlike Hermione, Quinton didn't possess magic. He was a muggle. Arthur Weasley has always been fascinated by muggles and their lifestyle, so when he meets Quinton one year as the older brother drops Hermione off at King's Cross, the two strike up a conversation about the function of a rubber duck. The two became fast friends and Quinton becomes a regular at the Burrow whenever his sister is invited over. Ginny is trying to come to terms with her feelings over the Boy-Who-Lived, who doesn't pay her any sort of mind outside of being Ron's little sister. Hermione gives her the advice not to pine over Harry, that she should look at other boys, although when Hermione suggested it, she wasn't exactly suggesting her older brother. It started off as letters between the two while Ginny is at school and becomes something each time the two see each other again.
