Happy #pubday to these five amazing mysteries:🔪THE LAST BOOK CLUB📖 by @JoanneRock6, 🌨️THE MEMORY FOUNDATION⚛️ by @AmandaReynoldsWrites, 🐈‍⬛THE BLACK CAT DETECTIVES🔍 by Kit Gray @elisescottwrites, ✉️INVITATION TO MURDER🗡️ by @CarolFlorianiAuthor, 🔪TOO DEEP TO CROSS🔍 by @kerrihakoda!

🔪THE LAST BOOK CLUB📖 is a page-turning mystery following a book club’s murder mystery game that goes fatally wrong.

Wealthy clients looking for the cure for memory loss find themselves trapped in a remote mountainous facility in 🌨️THE MEMORY FOUNDATION⚛️.

🐈‍⬛THE BLACK CAT DETECTIVES🔍 is a charming cozy mystery with a delightful twist: The detectives are three kittens with magical powers, determined to solve a most purr-plexing case.

Nothing spoils a party like an uninvited corpse, which is just Lacey Langdon’s luck in ✉️INVITATION TO MURDER🗡️ as she inherits a printing and party-planning business in this letter-perfect debut mystery.

Homicide Decetive DeHavilland Beans is back in his hometown and 🔪TOO DEEP TO CROSS🔍 with a case much more dangerous—and personal—than it seems.

Thank you @crookedlanebooks for my gifted copy.

🧬 Havi Beans is currently on leave from work pending an incident that occurred. While he is supposed to be traveling to California to help his mother, Mari, clean out his grandmother’s home, he receives a phone call from an old friend, Felicia, asking for help solving an old missing persons case in their hometown of Galena, Alaska.

As Havi tries to uncover what happened to the missing persons eighteen years ago, Mari, meanwhile, uncovers her deceased father’s hidden family history while at her parents’ home.

If you love secrets, this book delivers. Every chapter peels back another layer, revealing long-hidden lies and buried family truths. More crime mystery than anything else, it’s a slow burn packed with twists, revelations, and characters hiding secrets—or discovering the ones kept from them.

𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 by @kerrihakoda will release on May 26th.
