Food for thought: seasoning with these berries results in a dash of murder.

It's been a quiet autumn so far in the small town of Bradley, North Carolina. Or, as Myrtle would put it, a boring one. The slow pace and lingering post-summer heat are making life in Bradley very slow-paced, indeed.

That all changes when a local resident is poisoned by what looks like a scrumptious pie. The victim is a boorish man who has plenty of enemies in Bradley. Despite this, suspicion falls heavily on Myrtle and Miles's friend-a botanist who grows the deadly nightshade the man was poisoned with.

Can Myrtle and Miles solve the case and help their friend before the killer strikes again?All Rights Reserved

Slave To Torment by TheBrokenAshes

(Welp this could get interesting, saw this picture and you know thought of another whole dark book, story whatever. So let's do this again.) The need for an easy out, a release, for feeling, drives some monsters to do scary things. Horror's lack of, or at least struggle to use magic makes him an easy target for that abuse. Anything they want to do could be done to him, and probably has. He wants it to stop but it hasn't and he thinks it never will. But there is one thing he has always found strange. That strange thing is the fact that someone doesn't do anything to him, at least they've never done anything bad... He wanted to know why...he wanted to escape... He wanted...to much...for him at least...

The Porn Identity by DeliriousMoon

She goes to Evie Harper, café owner and part time private investigator, in hopes of catching the creep before he can make good on his promise.

When he's discovered dead the police set their sights on Ashley. After all, she was the last person he threatened. But Evie has a hard time believing the timid woman could stand up for herself let alone pull a trigger. Not when there's three other suspects who had the motive and opportunity to pop the pervy extortionist themselves. All Evie knows is whoever it was won't stop at one murder to keep their dirty little secret. And what's done in darkness, will come to light by the time she's done with them.

Hushed Up--Myrtle Clover Mystery #15 by ElizabethSCraig

Silence is golden ...unless you're permanently hushed up. When Lillian Johnson was found dead one hot summer day, no one in the town of Bradley, North Carolina was all that surprised. Lillian had always talked about the trials of her various health problems and was sure to share with everyone exactly how much she suffered. The townspeople were only slightly more surprised to discover that Lillian had been murdered. That's because Lillian, like most folks, had a dark side. And a fair number of people had experienced this dark side. Myrtle Clover, octogenarian sleuth and intrepid reporter, investigates Lillian's death to discover precisely who hushed her up. . . before someone else is permanently silenced.

Cleaning is Murder : Myrtle Clover #13 by ElizabethSCraig

When Myrtle's housekeeper is a murder suspect, she swears to Myrtle that she's squeaky clean. It's easy for fellow citizens to get on your nerves in sleepy Southern towns like Bradley, North Carolina. Particularly when one of the citizens is something of a cheapskate. Amos Subers isn't one to tip waiters, pay back a loan, or behave generously with family. When it's discovered that penny-pinching Amos was actually quite wealthy, it hardly engenders goodwill in the small town ... in fact, he's heartily disliked. Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover's housekeeper is certainly no fan of his: Amos owes Puddin money for cleaning his house. It's not too surprising when Amos is later found, murdered, in his kitchen. Myrtle and her senior sidekick Miles resolve to track down the killer when Puddin becomes a prime suspect...and before the murderer strikes again.

A Body in the Backyard: #4 by ElizabethSCraig

It's just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover-until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn't cut and dried-the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle's garden gnomes. Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne... reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about-he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer...before she's pushing up daisies, herself.
