Daddy's Little Killer by LSSygnet

With a murderous secret and a dark history few but Helen Eriksson know, an uncertain path lies ahead of her. Helen's past, present and future are on a collision course with a sense of morality she wonders if she ever possessed. Her husband's corpse is barely cold, laid to rest under a shroud of suspicion directed at her by former peers at the FBI. Revenge boils in her veins against the one who shattered her perfect life, or the carefully constructed illusion of such. One thing Helen does not believe is that coincidences happen. So when an opportunity falls into her lap to slip through the web of the FBI investigation into her ex-husband's murder and darken the doorstep of the man she holds responsible for her professional ruin, Helen is hard pressed to resist the lure. Rather than arriving in Darkwater Bay anonymously, Helen walks with full knowledge into what she understands could be a trap sprung by her nemesis, Danny Datello. But the shield of a police detective's badge can't protect her from what she fears she has become by genetic birthright - a hardened murderer just like the father who shaped her into the woman she has become. What Helen doesn't count on is investment in anything but her own plot of revenge. To her surprise, the discovery of a body mere hours before her arrival in Darkwater Bay draws her into more than her own conflicted desires, but a corrupt city with its own secrets. Even more shocking is the realization that Helen craves more than Datello's punishment; justice for a dead victim.

Murder Mystery by HyprVybes67

On a storm-lashed night, ten people gather in the sprawling Hawthorne Mansion - an inheritance, a reunion, and a secret that should've stayed buried. Among them is Sheriff Mary Talbot, a woman too logical to believe in ghosts, yet too human to ignore the dread crawling up her spine. When the power cuts and Paul is found murdered - throat slit, eyes glassy - the mansion transforms from a symbol of legacy into a cage of suspicion. As the storm isolates them, fear breeds faster than reason. Cassandra, the mansion's heiress, clings to the illusion of control; Simon drinks to forget; Anne prays; Michele accuses; Kent guards the halls like a soldier in hostile territory; and Travis-calm, watchful, and eerily unshaken-waits. Mary begins to piece together the clues - a missing button, muddy footprints, and two letters carved into the wall: P-T. Every face holds guilt; every alibi crumbles under her gaze. The mansion itself seems to breathe, whispering secrets in every creak of its floorboards. But truth comes at a cost. Another body will fall. Loyalties will fracture. And when the last candle burns low, Mary will stand face-to-face with the killer - a man whose quietness hides a mind consumed by chaos. Murder Mystery is a chilling, cinematic thriller where reason wrestles with madness, and justice bleeds in the dark.
