Two years have passed since the five members of the Lawrence Street Detective Club reunited in the novel, "We Find What Is Lost," picking up where they left off thirty years earlier, to help Rachel clear her name and take down the man who framed her for embezzling. Since then, Al and Rachel married, but Rachel and Lauren haven't stopped seeing each other, and things take a darker, sexier turn in this follow-up novel, which opens with Al and Lauren waking up in each other's arms with no memory of how they got there and no idea where their spouses went. Joe and Rachel are missing, and Al, Lauren and Sunny must piece together what happened to them the night before and track down Joe and Rachel with whatever tools they have at hand, getting help from a friend from Lauren's own past. Someone has it out for one of the members of the club, and Lauren, whose uniqueness was only hinted at in the last novel, takes centre stage solving this mystery, with past events from the last novel, revisited through her point of view, providing the clues.All Rights Reserved

Hidden in the Blood: A Novel of the Terribly Acronymed Detective Club (Book 5) by MikeDePaoli

By the end of the last novel of the Terribly Acronymed Detective Club, "The Hero Next Time," Al Mackenzie, husband of Rachel, adoptive father to Logan and Emma, was still in a coma after a terrible car accident. This fifth novel in the series opens with a subdued LSDC, three of whose members are injured or out of commission, all of them hoping Al will wake up. Unbeknownst to them, Al isn't just lying there; he's gaining a few insights of his own with the help of a couple of guides, one of whom happens to be the ghost of the man he thought was his father. By the time he wakes, he'll know his real father is alive and still out there, and there's a whole family of half-siblings he'll need to reconnect with. Into this battered and bruised group comes a blast from Al's past: Agnes, a former girlfriend, on the run and far from home, with two kids in tow. Her husband's a cop, and he may have committed a murder, and he's just transferred to the Langley detachment of the RCMP, where Sergeant Joanie Mara, reeling from a betrayal from Joe, is immediately attracted to him, unaware of his past. Joanie, who's always played a supporting role with the LSDC, shines in this first novel to feature her narrative as she takes on the role of media relations officer, outwits a stalker, and inevitably finds herself ensnared in a revenge plot stretching hundreds of miles back to a family used to getting what it wants and willing to kill to get it. If Joanie is to survive, she'll need the help of everyone in the LSDC, even if they're not at their best: Joe, her former lover; Lauren, Joe's wife and a private investigator who first discovered the plot; Rachel, the woman behind Joe's betrayal; Sunny, a family lawyer who helps Agnes free herself from her marriage; Tej, Sunny's wife and a real estate agent, who has her own first-time narrative in this book; and finally, Al, whose new family connections bring him and Agnes back to the place from where Agnes fled, and into the lion's den.

After her father's murder, Emma spent years trying to find peace. As soon as the opportunity to return to White Port appeared unexpectedly, she realized that she could no longer run away and that she would only find peace if she found out who was responsible for her father's death. At the same time, she was excited but also afraid of meeting Eddie again. When she left him six years ago, it seemed like the only thinkable decision. Although she was certain that Eddie was not involved in the murder, she feared that people close to him were involved. Despite everything, she was still wearing the necklace that Eddie had given her.

Will Eddie and Emma manage to fight for their love and overcome all the obstacles they encounter?

Beneath the Silence by girlygirlz

Eleanor, 19, is living on borrowed time. She's continuing her studies not out of passion, but more out of survival instinct. Not because she dreams of a brilliant career, but because the idea of failing-and having to go back home-makes her sick. Home is a house full of heavy silences, unspoken blame, and above all, a mother consumed by addiction. Their relationship is an emotional minefield. Though physically distant, Eleanor is never truly free. And every call, every message from her mother threatens to pull her back into the chaos she's desperate to escape. At college, she tries to hang on. Her only support is Wallace, her best friend since middle school. Always there. Tall, protective, destined for a pro career in basketball. Wallace is steady, radiant-the complete opposite of the world Eleanor comes from. He helps her stay afloat. Keeps her from drowning. Until one day, a figure appears in a campus hallway-and everything shifts. Danny Shepard. The name alone freezes her in place. It takes Eleanor a moment to recognize him: the scrawny, furious boy she knew at sixteen has become a man. Calmer. Darker. More... unreadable. After assaulting his sports coach, Danny was sentenced to juvenile detention and vanished for four years. On his return, he was denied entry into the third year of med school. He enrolled elsewhere, at the bottom rung of the university ladder. Where Eleanor studies. And he doesn't recognize her. She, on the other hand, never forgot. The bond they shared-fragile and secret, woven during adolescence through stolen glances and charged silences-left a mark. But Danny seems to have erased her. Why? Has he truly forgotten? Or has he buried that part of his life? Eleanor senses that behind the cold mask, there's a war raging. Repressed memories. A guilt that never properly healed.

Rachel, Al, Lauren, Joe and Sunny grew up together in Queensborough in the late Seventies, solidifying their friendship by forming the Lawrence Street Detective Club.

They eventually moved away, but never forgot each other, and thirty years later the memorial for Mrs. Anderson reunites them. Rachel, an accountant fired over an embezzlement scandal, divorced, broke and persecuted on social media, would rather not have her old friends know about her troubles, or about her new friend, who may or may not be a symptom of her deteriorating mental condition, but her sudden assignment as executor for Mrs. Anderson's estate forces her to depend on them. Al, infatuated with Rachel since they were children, helps her catalogue the contents of Mrs. Anderson's house but discovers a new mystery requiring the Lawrence Street Detective Club to get back on the case. Lauren, now a private investigator and married to Joe, never lost the knack for the work they did when they were kids, and works to clear Rachel's name while also reconciling with her own feelings for her.

And when a shocking development draws them all into helping another of his victims, they'll need to rely on each other more than ever before as they risk losing everything they worked for.

Something's wrong with Rachel. Ever since she visited Sadie T. Diamond, an acquaintance of the Lawrence Street Detective Club, in prison, she's been acting strangely, talking to someone who isn't there and sleepwalking during the day. Al, her husband, and Lauren, living with them now, see it most but can do the least about it with their hands full raising Sarah Jane, their baby, who'd just appeared out of thin air a month ago following their merging of two timelines. That's not the only thing worrying them. Joe, Lauren's husband, who'd sent her over to live with Al and Rachel after discovering Sarah Jane wasn't his, is suddenly being cagey about his movements.

Err on the Side of Violence: Terribly Acronymed Detective Club Series (Book 3) by MikeDePaoli

In this third novel of the Terribly Acronymed Detective Club, a year has passed since the events of "Rude Awakenings." Rachel and Al are now foster parents to a teenage brother and sister, whose alcoholic mother is back in rehab. As respectable a family as they may be, they haven't given up their relationship with Lauren, who is still married to Joe, whose narrative is central to this story. He's in his own relationship with Joanie Mara, a sergeant in the RCMP, an arrangement sanctioned by Lauren herself that isn't without its hiccups. Into this powder keg of emotions lands a crisis that draws the LSDC unwillingly into a world of drugs, trafficking and murder, when Logan, the foster son, finds himself in custody after a midnight deal goes horribly wrong and his mother is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Protecting him from people who don't have his best interests at heart proves to be harder than they imagined, especially after Joe, increasingly suspicious of Lauren and Al, makes a decision that sets off a series of destructive events. But when tragedy strikes and Logan falls into danger, can the five childhood friends rise above their conflicts and work to save his life?

Lost in the waves by SolitaireHolden12

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.

After you're back ( GXG friends to lovers) by FineUline

"How bad of a person am I if I want to continue where we left off back then at Liana's house? Knowing that now you are married?"

She had a loving family and a best friend Kate who was closer than just a friend. Her best friend made her feel alive in ways her husband never could. But seven years ago, everything changed.

But they are not the same teenage girls they once were. They both have secrets that could ruin everything. As they inch closer to the truth and to each other, they will discover that everyone in their circle conceals a sinister secret. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is a mix between detective and romance with dark criminal content and a description of explicit scenes.
