Schooled in Murder (2025)
(Campus Sleuth Mystery, book 1)
Victoria Gilbert
"Schooled in Murder is a first-rate debut for a wonderful new series! Talented author Victoria Gilbert has crafted an intelligent and skillfully told mystery with plenty of twists to keep readers turning the pages. A cast of well-drawn characters and a touch of romance lend additional charm to the story. Highly recommend!"

There's No Murder Like Show Murder (2024)
(Backstage Mystery, book 1)
M S Greene
"There's No Murder Like Show Murder is a sparkling whodunnit set backstage at a venerable but cash-strapped regional theater. Author M.S. Greene expertly conjures the unique esprit de corps of that world, and he's created a memorable cast of characters led by whip-smart yet lovable Tasha Weaver, the costume shop manager of the Eastbrook Playhouse. When Tasha is forced into the role of amateur sleuth to solve a murder (and save the theater) this intricately plotted cozy mystery will keep readers guessing - and rooting for Tasha - till the last page. A ton of fun!"
