Four kids dead. Can Assistant Superintendent Ken Parks unmask the drug dealer poisoning his students before more kids die?

Cruel Lessons (Lessons in Peril Book 1) Mystery Novel by Dr. Randy Overbeck

On a school camping trip, fifth graders experiment with a dangerous new hallucinogen and die in a horrific accident, their deaths shattering the quiet town. Assistant Superintendent Ken Parks, hoping to redeem a fatal mistake from his past, grasps the opportunity to conduct the district investigation of how students are getting the drugs. Almost before he begins, the cops make a stunning arrest. But Parks battles on, convinced the real pusher is still out there, poisoning more kids until he receives an anonymous threat: if he continues, those close to him will pay. Is Parks willing to risk those he loves for a chance at redemption?

Darkness Visible by M. R. Carey

BOOKERS TAKE Most of my life, I’ve had a love of good Urban Fantasy. One thing good Urban Fantasy does well is discuss the role of police in Justice. I still remember when I was thirteen, reading about Karin Murphy arresting Harry Dresden in Fool Moon and saying, “Okay, well, she’s just being a good cop.” I think of that now and smirk. What would eighteen year old me think? Twenty-five?…

I don't just write cozy mysteries and romances- I also read them, too! Often at the same time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week I am reading (and loving!) SMILE BEACH MURDER by @aliciabessettebooks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is an engaging and intriguing mystery set in the beautiful Outer Banks. Alicia does such a beautiful job of describing the scenery around her, breathing life into the Outer Banks as the setting that it almost feels like another character in itself! The stories feature a former reporter turned bookseller who returns to her hometown just as a local woman turns up dead- in a suspiciously similar way her own mother died several years earlier. Honestly as a former journalist turned barista, I feel like Lana would be best friends with Callie and the two of them together would be unstoppable! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am also reading @kosokojackson romance, I'M SO NOT OVER YOU with my romance book club at @tombolobooks! It is fake dating at its most perfect and sweetest and Kosoko does such a beautiful job painting the high stakes in this fake romance and how hard it is to get over someone when you're supposed to pretend they never broke your heart to begin with! I am loving it and cannot wait to discuss with my romance book club at @tombolobooks this Sunday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What books have you been reading and loving lately? #bookclub #amreadingromance #amreadingmystery #cozymystery #romancebooks #bookstagram #booknerd #fakerelationship #bookish #booksandcoffee #amateursleuth (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnmVGPhLj5j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Since Skeptic!Eddie and AmateurSleuth!Buck didn't get to compete they get a consolation prize: all expenses paid trip to elope somewhere nice.

However, they're too busy slow burning in an X-Files AU to make use of it.

"The Red Thumb Mark" by R. Austin Freeman

BOOKERS TAKE Written in the early 20th Century, this novel has the classic amateur sleuth makeup, with slightly more bang for its buck in the credibility department. It features a brilliant doctor of medicine who has, in his later life, taken to the detection of crime, and an amiable narrator who, himself, enters into his own affairs and serves as the main focality of the story. Sound…
