By Donna Muse

The Dame's Demise
Macey Spade always loved mysteries. A brainy, awkward girl with few friends and a knack for getting into trouble, she dreamed of becoming a sleuth like the heroes of her beloved Agatha Christie novels. But when her mother is murdered in a seemingly random shooting and Macey is no longer guaranteed shelter or food, she's forced to put away her childish dreams...

... until thirteen years later, when a string of killings reunites her with her best friend from high school, Christabel Bailey-a ditzy, vivacious woman who's been hiding in plain sight for more than a decade. Whaler's Bay is still reeling from the murder of Betty Bunkle, who ran pottery classes. When a second person is murdered, Macey and Christa must face the likelihood they're dealing with a serial murderer-and find the man or woman responsible before they kill again.

The Canine Catastrophe
Macey Spade is having the worst September of her life. Rumors are circulating that the local cemetery is haunted by a specter of the undead, a wicked creature who glides through the darkness and preys on rabbits, foxes-and people. Macey knows this is all rubbish. But when she and her pooch, Mugsy, set out to prove there are no vampires in Whaler's Bay Cemetery, she finds herself at odds with a fellow investigator who suspects her of vandalism-and a frightened mob of concerned moms who think she's engaging in dark magic.

Macey's friend Christabel, meanwhile, has taken on a role in a community theater production alongside the legendary stage actor Maxim Hale. A gruff Welshman with an angelic voice, Max is famed for his temper. With the popularity of local theater in permanent decline, Max has secretly embraced a second profession-illegally breeding dogs in the underground "puppy mills." Max hates this job but can't resist an industry that brings in 11 billion dollars annually. When Max himself is murdered, however-Macey's own life rapidly unravels. For she herself is now suspected of the crime, and it will take all her considerable cunning to catch the real culprit and prove her own innocence.

The Festival Fiasco
Running low on funds, Macey Spade has accepted a new job-as a teaching assistant at Whaler's Bay College, presiding over a class on Time-Travel in Film and Fiction. Macey anticipates a relaxed semester, but fate has several cruel tricks in store for her.

A phone call from investigator Roddy Overstreet informs her that a body has been found in the dockyards of Whaler's Bay, in an empty warehouse storing various decorations and supplies for the upcoming fall festival. The body belongs to Perla Waffler, a forty-something heiress with a distinct lack of social awareness. Having but recently arrived in Whaler's Bay, Perla seemed largely oblivious to the chilly reception she had received from the locals. But who would hate her enough to kill her?

Meanwhile back at the college, all is not well. The new Residence Life Coordinator, Anatole Grahame, is leading a secretive and tightly-knit student group some are alleging is a cult. The members of the group claim to possess extraordinary prophetic and magical powers. When the Dean of Campus Life enlists Macey to infiltrate the group, she finds herself drawn into the orbit of two students-Arianna Marlark, a dreamy theology student, and Gareth Frieslan, a fedora-wearing poet and music-lover. When a member of the group is murdered, Macey must act quickly to uncover Harris's true origins and break the spell he holds over the group before disaster falls on all parties.
