Agatha Christie meets Murder, She Wrote in this witty locked room mystery and literary satire by New York Times bestselling team of novelists: Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White. There''s been a sensational murder at historic Castle Kinloch, a gothic fantasy of grey granite on a remote island in the Highlands of Scotland. Literary superstar Brett Saffron Presley has been found dead--under bizarre circumstances--in the castle tower''s book-lined study. Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece for his brand and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in...or, possibly, one of the castle''s guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for this literary American show-off (or Americans in general), finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists. The prime suspects are Kat de Noir, a slinky, sexy erotica writer; Cassie Pringle, a Southern mom of six juggling multiple cozy mystery series; and Emma Endicott, a New England blue blood and author of critically acclaimed historical fiction. The women claim to be best friends writing a book together: a historical novel about the castle''s lurid past and its debauched laird, who himself ended up creatively murdered. But the authors'' stories about how they know Brett Saffron Presley don''t quite line up, and the detective is getting increasingly suspicious. Why did the authors really come to Castle Kinloch? Is the murder of the long-ago laird somehow connected with the playboy author''s unfortunate demise? And what really happened the night of the great Kinloch ceilidh, when Brett Saffron Presley skipped the folk dancing for a rendezvous with death? A crafty locked-room mystery, a pointed satire about the literary world, and a tale of unexpected friendship and romance--this novel has it all, as only three bestselling authors can tell it!

"Giving All" is Book 4 of the series "Gratitude of the Heart." My mission for writing "Gratitude of the Heart" was to give everyone a chance to connect with the right thinking every morning. Life is interesting. It is made up of good and bad. We must accept both and enjoy the experience of every change. I love to spend the first part of my morning connecting with the Holy Spirit who connects me to the Trinity of God. But as for me, I need short and sweet to the point messages. I have put together 12 months of devotionals. They are individual books because God made months for a reason. Please take 5 minutes a day to put yourself first. You are so important to God. That is why he gave his Son in submission to a sacrifice that brings wholeness to our lives. Take 5 minutes of your day to enjoy the creation that you are. God handmade you. He put your body together in the womb. He loves and honors you. He wants you whole. I hope you enjoy this series of devotionals and share them with others. They''re great for gifts.
