Her newest title is Death Walked In (March 25, 2008),18th in the Death on Demand series and her 39th novel. Annie and Max Darling are restoring an antebellum mansion. A million-dollar theft of rare gold coins and a murder occur nearby. Both crimes seem linked to their home. Annie discovers the secret of Franklin House but death walks in.
Ghost at Work, 1st in the new Bailey Ruth Raeburn series, was published in October 2007. Bailey Ruth returns to help someone in trouble. She moves a body, investigates a murder, saves a marriage, prevents a suicide, and—in a fiery finale—rescues a child who knows too much.
