KINDLE NOOK AUDIBLE KOBO APPLE
Preparations are under way for Lake Eden, Minnesota’s annual Winter Carnival – and Hannah Swensen will be extra busy at her shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac – a half-baked idea, in Hannah’s opinion. She suspects Connie Mac’s sweet cable-TV image is a cover for something more bitter.
Hannah’s suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac’s limo rolls into town. Turns out America’s “Cooking Sweetheart” is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake destroyed – and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah’s famous blueberry muffins.

No Pity Each skeleton is flawless–gleaming white and perfectly preserved, a testament to his skill. Every scrap of flesh has been removed to reveal the glistening bone beneath. And the collection is growing. . .
No Compassion When bleached human bones are identified as belonging to a former patient of Dr. James Dixon, Detective Malcolm Kier suspects the worst. Dixon was recently acquitted of attempted murder, thanks to defense attorney Angie Carlson. But as the body count rises, Kier is convinced that Angie is now the target of a brutal, brilliant psychopath.
No Escape Angie is no stranger to the dark side of human nature. But nothing has prepared her for the decades-long legacy of madness and murder about to be revealed–or a killer ready to claim her as his ultimate trophy. . .

Thieving isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but when Vixin runs across a small band she joins them, her attention shifting from survival to the young man leading their troupe. But death lingers and what started as a fun endeavor quickly turns her into the hunted.
With new allies, Vixin is forced to implement everything her father taught her, not only to keep herself alive but her newfound friends as well.
