A murder that stole 1982 national headlines: “Renowned Family Slayed in Home” A case that remained cold for forty long years. The Eyler family was anything but average. The father a top literary agent and the mother a duchess, they thrived in their prestigious mansion surrounded by luxury...and secrets. Secrets that would eventually cost them their lives. On a cold autumn night, their legacy ended with a grisly massacre in one of the most horrific scenes ever investigated. Soon details splashed across every newspaper of how the family of five lay slaughtered in their library, cursing the mansion as it became branded the Execution Estate. With no witnesses and no motives, the killer remained free. The case grew colder. Speculations grew darker. Answers grew dimmer. Until now. Former estate manager, Derl Newman, steps forward four decades later with a suspicion and a wild clue that could lead investigators to finally solve the puzzle of why a killer would murder a family yet leave the many priceless heirlooms behind. The gardener with a grudge? The bitter butler? The maid hiding her mischief? With insider knowledge of what happened that fateful night, Derl meets with renowned documentarian Keisha Fenty to expose everyone’s darkest secrets that brought this house...and everyone who entered it...to ruin. A humorous whodunnit short story perfect for fans of Clue-like locked-room mysteries. "If Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes had a baby, they'd birth it in A House of Ruin!" – reader review

USA Today-Bestselling Author: What if the only person who can find your missing daughter is the one person you can't trust? When Felicity married into the Portman family, she could handle the narcissistic brother-in-law who came with the package. She could even endure their coddling mother, who pit her grown-up sons against each other. Because Felicity had a gift for dealing with drama . . . until her sister-in-law Marin crossed a line she could never uncross. Marin, who always has to outdo Felicity. Marin, who blatantly flirts with Felicity's husband. Marin, the last person to see Felicity's daughter before she disappeared. Only a cryptic series of journal entries hints at why the girl vanished six months ago. But no matter how much time passes, Felicity will never stop searching. Or asking questions. Or suspecting Marin had something to do with it. Carrying the weight of a strained marriage, failing motherhood, and crumbling business, Felicity must fight for her family--or watch everything fall into a slow ruin . . . Praise for the novels of Pamela Crane: "The tension keeps right on building." --New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub "Sure to have you at the edge of your seat." --POPSUGAR

Doused with humor, fortified with women empowerment, and starring an irresistibly quirky leading lady, Lessons in Chemistry meets Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine as one woman challenges orders to take her medicine (like a man), and overthrows convention instead. When Sam Stanton's father dies from prescription complications, she pulls up her big-girl undies and demands to hold the drug company responsible. As her father always said, if you want to take down the man, you've got to fight like one. So she converts her great room into a greenhouse and becomes the first holistic advice columnist to challenge modern medicine. But it's 1970, and Sam's readers are wary to accept health advice from anyone but a man. Except one person takes an obsessive interest in Sam's herbal remedies: Thomas Cook, her pharmaceutical adversary with more money than J. Paul Getty, and a reach long enough to squash Sam's unconventional ways...like the way Sam cures marital dry spells with horny goat weed-it's not called that for nothing! Even Thomas can't resist her unconventional ways, until Sam doses him with a tough pill to swallow: that her column is upheaving the medical industry, along with women's roles in it. Thomas isn't the only jilted ego out to get Sam. When a detail mysteriously surfaces about her father's death, Sam becomes a target scandalized, risking everything she's spoken out to save.

Every woman who has ever needed a friend must read this." - reader review ★★★★★ "Superbly written, deliciously feminist, and darkly witty! It's a whole new genre of women's fiction blended with mystery that we've been waiting for." - reader review ★★★★★
