    In the 7th installment of the Josie Prescott series, she's embroiled into another mystery. When Alice Michaels is shot in front of her antique story, her death puts Josie front and center of another shocking twist. While charges were impending on Alice's company from the SEC, it's up to Josie to figure out why someone wanted her dead, even digging into her family life and private affairs, stemming from a valuable antique collection. When one of her co-workers is kidnapped, things change for an exchange of rare dolls that's one of the kind. We witness what Josie goes through, when danger approaches and closes in on her. And it's gets freaky for Josie and her co-workers, when she's closer to the danger, when it's right in front of the noise. While the press hounds her for the truth, she helps the police to get down to the bottom of this mess, when another prime suspect is killed and the killer is revealed. This one gave me goosebumps with plenty of drama.

Miranda Wake is a food critic for a local food magazine and makes a bold statement in Market, a hot new restaurant in town.

Between that, Miranda has a lot on her own plate, when a disgruntled employee muddied the waters and then complicates her steamy relationship with Adam, when the news comes out.
