'Cosy, unique, atmospheric' Woman 'Brilliantly funny and charming' Northern Life When a violent murder shatters the otherwise peaceful idyll of Andaby near Hebden Bridge, DS Charlotte Banks can't help but suspect that her brother Ewan - recently released from prison and now living in Calderdale - is behind it.

So much so that she turns to the only people who can help her in an investigation this personal: Kitt Hartley and Grace Edwards, of Hartley and Edwards Investigations. On the hunt for the killer, Kitt and Grace discover the victim was choked to death on her old school sash. From this lead, Kitt, Grace and DS Banks are drawn down a dark trail littered with decade-old grudges, schoolyard secrets, broken hearts and bullies, and struggle to get closer to the truth. When a second victim goes missing however, the clock starts ticking. Can Kitt recover the missing woman before it's too late? And how do you catch a killer hiding in plain sight?

"Nell is one of the strongest, most honorable, and dearest heroines to grace the pages of an amateur sleuth novel.... P.B. Ryan knows how to write a tale that will grip and keep readers' interest throughout the novel." -Midwest Book Reviews Nell Sweeney, a young Irish-born governess in post-Civil War Boston, may not have much, but she does possess both a keen mind and a brave heart. As governess to the wealthy Hewitt family, she finds plenty of opportunities to use both-especially when the seamy side of society shows itself... The lowborn Fallons come to Viola Hewitt with a desperate plea for help. Their wayward daughter, Bridget, a pretty young employee of Hewitt Mills and Dye Works, hasn't been seen for days. Mrs. Fallon, unwilling to believe that Bridget would just run off without a word, fears that she's come to a bad end-possibly at the hands of her ex-con lover. Viola, confined to a wheelchair, enlists Nell to locate the missing mill girl. Working with Viola's black sheep son, Will, Nell uncovers a web of schemes and greed and dark obsession... and what she knows may just be the death of her. Originally published by Berkley Prime Crime, Murder in a Mill Town was nominated for the prestigious Mary Higgins Clark Award. 68K words. "Ryan creates characters you care about and a plot that holds your interest as you try to unmask the killer. Lively and intriguing, this is a fast-paced, wonderful read. -RT BookReviews "I love this series. After finishing the book, I had to go back and re-read scenes and I even pulled out the first book to re-read much of Nell and Will's many conversations again." -Babbling Book Reviews "The saga style of Catherine Cookson meets the 'Victorian vices' world of Anne Perry in this popular whodunit. Much thought and research has gone into making the two faces of mid-19th century Boston come to life, whether the gilded world of the Hewitts or the grubby back streets of the underworld." -MyShelf.com "Ms. Ryan excels in her ability to show her characters' complexities. Most are neither good nor bad, but living lives enmeshed with many shades of gray. Add the rich historical detail and readers have an excellent historical mystery with an intriguing heroine." -The Best Reviews "Nell is an interesting and unique character....The mystery itself is done quite well, with clues pointing to various suspects, and an unexpected resolution....I hope to see much more of Nell in future books." -The Romance Reader's Connection "1868 Boston is well portrayed in this series...an enjoyable story...There is no trace of Colonnade Row in what is now Boston's downtown shopping area, and Charlestown is but a shell of the prosperous city that existed there in the nineteenth century, but this book brings them back into existence. -Reviewing the Evidence

"In December 1832 a farmer found the body of a young, pregnant woman hanging near a haystack outside a New England mill town. When news spread that Methodist preacher Ephraim Avery was accused of murdering Sarah Maria Cornell, a factory worker, the case gave the public everything they found irresistible: sexually charged violence, adultery, the hypocrisy of a church leader, secrecy and mystery, and suspicions of insanity. Murder in a Mill Town tells the story of how a local crime quickly turned into a national scandal that became America's first "trial of the century." After her death--after she became the country's most notorious "factory girl"--Cornell's choices about work, survival, and personal freedom became enmeshed in stories that Americans told themselves about their new world of industry and women's labor and the power of religion in the early republic. Writers penned seduction tales, true-crime narratives, detective stories, political screeds, songs, poems, and melodramatic plays about the lurid scandal. As trial witnesses, ordinary people gave testimony that revealed rapidly changing times. As the controversy of Cornell's murder spread beyond the courtroom, the public eagerly devoured narratives of moral deviance, abortion, suicide, mobs, "fake news," and conspiracy politics. Long after the jury's verdict, the nation refused to let the scandal go. A meticulously reconstructed historical whodunit, Murder in a Mill Town exposes the troublesome workings of criminal justice in the young democracy and the rise of a sensational popular culture"--

The year is 1958 and the town of West Warwick, Rhode Island is dying. The economy is crumbling as the textile mills, once the lifeblood of the town, are closing and moving south. Against his better judgment private investigator Hugh Doherty, who runs a one-man operation over a local barbershop, agrees to take on a job for the town's political boss, Judge Martin DeCenza. He is hired to find a political foe who has gone missing a month before an important statewide election. DeCenza fears that if the man remains missing his machine will be blamed for the disappearance. Short on cash Doherty takes on the job not knowing that it will lead him into a web of corruption, deceit and ultimately murder. Along the way he becomes involved with an attractive but manipulative young woman and a slick but sinister gangster. At the heart of the mystery is a real estate deal in West Warwick that has gone bad. Doherty's bread and butter has always been finding persons who have gone missing. The Mill Town represents his first involvement in a murder investigation. Although seemingly over his head at first, in time it is only he who can unwind this complicated plot and find out why a prominent man has been murdered and by whom.

A master storyteller presents a riveting drama of America's first "crime of the century"--from murder investigation to a church sex scandal to celebrity trial--and its aftermath.

Jim Henry Tate is a county constable in the virtually brand new cotton mill village of Boiling Springs, North Carolina. His job has been, he says, mostly to "just walk around and let people see they's some law in the lower part of the county." However, when the village's first ever murder occurs in 1908, things change. Jim Crow, always a village resident, struts through town cawing with feathers ruffled. For the murder victim is white and there is wide spread suspicion that the murderer is black. This means Jim Henry must not only solve a murder, he must deal with racial tension that threatens to boil over into a full-fledged race riot.

John A. Broussard's Murder at Milltown Junior College is packed to the last page with murder and suspense. This exciting mystery begins with the murder of Milltown JC's un-beloved president Gilbert Green. Green has a despicable secret. Is that what got him killed? Or has someone simply gone mad?

Paul Yankovich, Milltown Police Department Lieutenant is stumped, and Chief Stavros is about to pull him off the case. But when Jason Reilly Sociology Instructor and Marie Watanabe Director of Students stumble into unimaginable danger, Yankovich's response is quick and incisive. This cop procedural snares you from the get-go. Boson Books offers several mystery novels and collections of short stories by John Broussard.
