Nobody Knows Your Secret by JG9843

It was a heck of a shot. It was the perfect murder. Someone killed Kyle Winthrop as he lay in his bed. His mother, Claire, doesn't care much - she's too strung out on prescription pain pills. But his Grandmother cares, and she begs her good friend, Hadley Pell, to try to solve this horrible crime. Hadley runs into a brick wall - there's little to go on. Still, her curiosity and keen mind won't let her abandon the case. She's determined to help her friend. In the middle of another Appalachian murder mystery, Hadley doesn't have clue where to begin. She's up to her eyeballs in clutter. Literally. While cleaning out a hoarder's house, she stumbles upon old papers. Could these dusty old newspapers and legal documents hold information that will help her crack the case? A humorous tale full of local color and wit, this is the second book in the Hadley Pell Cozy Mystery NOBODY mystery series. The Hadley Pell Cozy Mystery Series: 1. Nobody's Sorry You're Dead 2.

Madame Juror. by TiNyDiAmOnD101

Alianna Winter managed to keep herself out of trouble for a grand total of ten weeks. Which, as she pointed out to Isabel, was actually rather good. Isabel naturally didn't agree. Answering a plea for help from Chief Inspector Barnes, Allie finds herself in a very unfamiliar situation; in a courtroom. As a last-minute member of the jury. The case she is supposed to be trying seems incredibly straightforward at first glance, but as Allie soon finds, nothing is as it seems. It's up to her to change the minds of the rest of the jury, or a woman will surely hang. -The seventh book in the Alianna Winter series.

Malpractice Makes Perfect by DeliriousMoon

And can Evie prove there was a murder when her body is already dead and buried? With the go ahead from Alexis, Evie is determined to put to rest all doubts into Diana Dupont's odd death and give the family the closure it needs.

Look but Don't Choke by DeliriousMoon

After Evie Harper spends the day pining after her unrequited childhood crush, Harley, she drowns her sorrows in a bottle of stolen wine. But the next day, and one glorious hangover later, Harley is found with a very naked-very strangled stripper in his bed. Naturally the police assume that it's some kind of erotic play gone terribly wrong, but Harley swears that he left her alive and "orgasmically" happy when he went on the ill fated booze and condom run. And Evie knows Harley isn't a violent man. When the Chos ask her to investigate the murder, and possibly clear their son's name, she reluctantly agrees. But as Evie digs deeper into the dead woman's life she discovers that the exotic dancer had quite the past; one that involved drugs, prostitution, and gangs. Who knew the life of a stripper could get so dirty? Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 2
