Mediums & Murder (Prickly Pear Psychic Mysteries No. 1) (affiliate link)
One body, two psychics, and a tangled web of secrets and grudges have arrived in the sunny desert town of Prickly Pear, AZ.
Alara leads a safe and snug life, but she has a secret—she has psychic powers that scare the hippos out of her. They’ve gone wonky before, so now she only uses them for the most important purpose—listening to her dogs ask for more treats. But on an already awful Monday morning, Alara stumbles right into a vision of the moments before her friend’s murder. Mondays are the worst, right?
Alara’s powers might be able to help find the killer, but she’s more terrified than a whale in the desert, and it’s not like she has a dusty old crystal ball to produce visions on demand. Just as she’s feeling completely befuddled, Alara’s long-lost aunt arrives to tell her they both come from a long line of psychics. And she has experience investigating…

In the small touristy mountain town of Manhattan, Annie’s shop is the go-to spot for midday mimosas and vintage trinkets. Life was quiet for the shop owner until Pretty McCandless, a relative of Annie’s missing husband, shows up. Pretty places her heirloom blue and white plate collection on consignment, only to return and snatch the treasures back the next day.
Annie pushes the strange encounter with the woman out of her mind until Ms. McCandless’s untimely death. The estranged relative bestows Annie with her remaining estate including the plate collection.
Once Annie unpacks the dishes, she finds the blue images have disappeared. Unfazed by the white porcelain, Annie sticks them into their cardboard box and piles them in her stockroom. Then something strange happens. People and things start to disappear, and Annie is faced with unraveling the mystery.

Movingly written by her own daughter, this captivating and intimate biography chronicles the astonishing courage Andrée Griotteray, a teenage girl in Nazi-occupied Paris who would become a hero of the French Resistance through her harrowing work as an underground intelligence courier. For readers of Three Ordinary Girls, A Woman of No Importance, Lis Parisiennes, The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line, and the many other untold stories of WWII’s “hidden figures.”
Andrée Griotteray was just 19 when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing I.D. cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution.
ATK cuts sweet and savory treats down to size while cutting out the small-batch baking quirks in this exciting cookbook for two: no calculators to scale recipes, no measuring out half an egg, no buying a container of an ingredient to use just a tablespoon, no stale leftovers, no kitchen full of required equipment. ATK’s small-batch baking way:
Eliminates waste with recipe yields that work for you: Serve Blueberry-Lavender Cornmeal Crumbles in two ramekins, warm from the oven, or make storage-friendly loaf pan Coconut Snack Cake when you want to share or keep some for the week.
Is adaptable for the air fryer or toaster oven: Turn to the toaster oven instead of turning on the oven for two scones. Make desserts you never knew you could in the air fryer, even Basque Cheesecake!
Turns your freezer into a treat factory: Recipes that yield more than a handful are formulated to bake from frozen—and taste just as good as fresh. Solve the perennial breakfast problem with a half dozen Cranberry-Cardamom Muffins you can bake off individually. (You freeze the batter in paper liners.) Simplify longer recipes like Croissants by preparing them ahead, freezing, and then baking later.
Delivers baking joy with everyday indulgences: Keep dough balls of Coffee-Toffee Cookies in your freezer. Use store-bought puff pastry to make impressive Everything Bagel Danishes or Fruit Tart in a snap.
