Dead Tease
A Loon Lake Mystery
by Victoria Houston
   

    Midwest Clinic CEO John McNeil has a time-consuming hobby.  The latest "hobby" he was pursuing was the stunning Jen Williams, employed in the hospital's PR division.  Not surprisingly, when Jen was found stabbed through the heart, John became a prime suspect.  Another suspect is John's long-suffering wife, who claims that she's being stalked.  Rounding out the trifecta is the beautiful physician who was John's previous "hobby". 
   
    Pressure to solve the case is mounting for Loon Lake Police Chief "Lew" Ferris and "Doc" Osborne (a retired dentist and forensic dental expert).  As respite, they join a misguided guide who's convinced them to experience the joys of "kayak fly fishing".  Their ensuing life-and-death  struggle on the river leads them to a macabre discovery that could crack the case.
    This is the 12th title in Houston's beloved series.
   
About the Author:  "In her teens and twenties, mystery author Victoria Houston was the classic hometown girl who couldn't wait to leave her small Wisconsin town. She has not only returned to her hometown, Rhinelander, but she has based her popular mystery series in the region's fishing culture."

Aunt Dimity and the Village Witch
by Nancy Atherton
   

   Life in Finch, located in the Cotswolds, usually moves at a more languid pace than it has until just recently.  What brought this about?  The arrival of Amelia Thistle, a famous artist on a mission and desperate to remain incognito.  Lori Shepherd steps up to conceal Amelia's identity - from citizens of Finch as well as from Amelia's rabid fans - as she and Amelia research the past.  Is Amelia truly a descendent of Mistress Meg, the Mad Witch of Finch?  Of course, ghostly detective Aunt Dimity has her own methods and opinions in the matter.  Following the clues will lead them all to secrets from the darkest moments of Finch's venerable history!

    This is the 17th title in this cozy, Anglophiliac series.  The first in the series, Aunt Dimity's Death, was voted One of the Century's 100 Favorite Mysteries by the Independent Mystery Booksellers' Association.
