THE MORE THE TERRIER

A Pet Rescue Mystery 

BY LINDA O. JOHNSTON

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The second book in a thrilling new series from Linda O. Johnston featuring animal lover and pet rescuer Lauren Vancouver.

When shelter manager Lauren Vancouver finds out that her old mentor, Mamie Spelling, is an animal hoarder, no one is more shocked, and she jumps in to help re-home the cramped critters. But Mamie’s troubles don’t end there. She’s accused of murder when the CEO of a pet shelter network is found dead. And Lauren’s dogged determination to clear her former friend of murder may put a killer on her tail.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

She attended law school but couldn't stay away from fiction and soon published several short stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. The first, "Different Drummers," won the Robert L.

Recently, Johnston's first mystery short story "Love on Sunset Boulevard" was published in the Sisters of Crime, Los Angeles Chapter, mystery short story anthology, Murder on Sunset Boulevard.

FLIPPED OUT

A Do-It-Yourself Mystery 

BY JENNIE BENTLEY

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The fifth in a popular home renovation series featuring home renovator and amateur sleuth Avery Baker.

Inheriting her aunt’s old Maine cottage has led Avery Baker down a new career path—home renovation. Finding a property’s hidden potential has rewards and challenges—not to mention certain unanticipated dangers. Like murder...

Avery and her hunky handyman boyfriend Derek Ellis are renovating another house in Waterfield, Maine. But it’s not just any house. It belongs to local news anchor Tony “the Tiger” Micelli—and it’s a quaint cottage with limitless possibilities. Even more exciting is that the makeover is going to be filmed as part of a home renovation TV show.

Unfortunately the road to cable TV fame is a bumpy one: this DIY spins into a DOA when Tony’s corpse is found at the cottage, flat on his back and not from natural causes. Turns out there were a few people who wanted Tony dead, and that the murderer might have his sights set on a few more Waterfield residents. That means it’s up to Avery to nail the killer. Before someone yells "Cut!" and it's all over.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

A career as a REALTOR® and professional renovator has given debut author Jennie Bentley plenty of fodder for her new series of Do-It-Yourself Home Renovation Mysteries from Penguin/Putnam.

She has stumbled over dead bodies — those of birds, cockroaches, and the occasional rat; unearthed buried treasure — gorgeous tile floors hidden under ugly vinyl, pristine footed bathtubs covered over with drywall; and had personal experience with just how dangerous renovating a house can be — she and her husband have come close to killing each other on many occasions while renovating the eight houses the family has owned in the past eight years.

Jennie lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and two children.
