The Last Obituary
by Calista Dorne
Cozy MysterySome secrets are worth killing for. Others are worth dying for. For ten years, Lorraine "Rainy" Blackwood has been the voice of the deceased in Maple Heights, Connecticut. As the town's obituary writer, she transforms final stories into elegant tributes, conducting detailed interviews with families to capture the essence of lives well-lived. But in one chilling October week in 1988, three elderly residents die within days of each other. Natural causes, says the doctor. Heart attacks in elderly men, says the coroner. Nothing unusual, says the police chief. Except for their final words. Harold Finch whispered, "Finally paid my debt from '52." Margaret Chen confessed, "The truth about '52 dies with me." Joseph Kowalski begged, "Forgive me for what we did in '52." All three were Korean War veterans. All served in the same supply unit. And all carried secrets that haunted them for 36 years. Rainy's journalistic instincts ignite. Using her unique position as the town's obituary writer, she launches an innocent-sounding "Living History Project"—conducting pre-obituary interviews with surviving veterans to "preserve their stories while they're still alive." It's the perfect cover for investigation. What she uncovers chills her to the bone: a conspiracy involving stolen gold meant for Korean refugees, a Korean translator framed and executed for theft, and three men who built their American dreams on blood money and lies. But the darkest secret of all? The killer is still at work. Susan Mills, the beloved town librarian who's been helping Rainy research, holds the final piece of the puzzle. She's the daughter of the framed translator, and she's spent 36 years methodically planning her revenge. Three men are dead. One remains: the mayor, who orchestrated the entire conspiracy. And Founder's Day celebration is tomorrow. As the truth emerges, Rainy faces an impossible moral dilemma. Call the police and let the justice system fail again? Or step aside and let a daughter's 36-year quest for vengeance reach its conclusion? In this gripping cozy mystery with an edge, justice and law aren't always the same thing. Perfect for readers who love complex moral questions wrapped in page-turning suspense. FANS OF THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB WILL DEVOUR THIS STORY If you love amateur sleuths with unique perspectives, small-town mysteries hiding dark secrets, and endings that make you question everything you believe about justice, this is your next favorite book. THE LAST OBITUARY marks the beginning of the Obituary Detective Mysteries series, introducing Rainy Blackwood—an unforgettable protagonist who interviews the dead to solve mysteries no one else sees. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "A brilliant twist on the cozy mystery genre. Rainy Blackwood is my new favorite detective." "I couldn't put it down.

The Influencer's Confession
by Evelyn Sinclair Reese
Contemporary Women's FictionNova Sinclair has 2 million followers, a perfect smile, and a career built on a lie. When she discovers her beauty sponsors are covering up environmental violations and health hazards, she faces an impossible choice: keep profiting from the deception, or lose everything by telling the truth. She chooses truth. In one raw, devastating live broadcast, Nova confesses everything—and watches her carefully curated life collapse in real time. Sponsors drop her. Followers abandon her. The influencer who built her brand on authenticity is exposed as a fraud, canceled and utterly alone. Stripped of her persona and her income, Nova stumbles into a community center where she meets Eli, a grassroots organizer who sees past her shattered influencer facade. For the first time, she's not performing—and that terrifies her almost as much as it liberates her. Working alongside Eli's team, Nova discovers that meaningful change doesn't come from viral moments but from something far more radical: patience, documentation, coordination. Building cases. Protecting whistleblowers. Real people doing unglamorous, necessary work. As she transforms from isolated performer to skilled activist, Nova finds what she's been searching for her whole life—authentic purpose, genuine community, and someone who sees her real self. But the deeper she goes, the more dangerous it becomes. Powerful corporations don't surrender easily. Nova must decide what she's willing to risk, not for likes or validation, but for truth, justice, and the first real connection she's ever known. For readers who loved the character transformation in Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and the sharp social commentary of Such a Fun Age—this is a story about losing everything to find yourself. About discovering that redemption isn't a moment, it's a practice. About learning that your voice matters most when you stop performing and start speaking truth. Perfect for fans of contemporary fiction that tackles timely social issues with depth, heart, and unflinching honesty. Start reading today and discover what happens when an influencer stops curating her life and starts changing it.
