Death of the Party

Britt Barlow is certain her media mogul brother-in-law Jeremiah Addison's fatal tumble a year ago was no accident -- especially since she herself discovered, and disposed of, the trip wire someone had strung across the stairs. Now she's bringing all who were in attendance that weekend back to Golden Silk -- Addison's luxurious secluded island estate -- and inviting two extra guests, Annie and Max Darling, to help uncover a killer.

Deadly Valentine

Annie and Max Darling have just moved into their new home. They have a lot of interesting neighbors, especially Sydney Cahill who goes after every man she meets, including Max. Annie is not too interested in going to Sydney's Valentine party, but Max's mother comes to visit and decides that it would be great fun for the three of them to attend the party. When Sydney turns up murdered, there are no lack of suspects since she was involved with most of the neighborhood men and there are many jealous wives. Annie and Max check into their neighbor's backgrounds and discover even more motives.
