"Who Killed Charles Chowder?" is set on the opening night of Miranda, chef Charles Chowder's new restaurant in a rural Maine hotel. His friends, family, and staff have gathered to launch his newest venture, but before the first courses can be served, Charles is found drowned in a pot of chicken stock by his sous chef. Luckily, famed detective and birdwatcher Oscar Oslo is taking a vacation at Hotel Prospero, and he gathers the dinner guests to conduct an investigation that will turn up everything from blackmail to ancient family grudges to animal rights terrorism.

A startling and timely debut, Julie Carrick Dalton’s Waiting for the Night Song is a moving, brilliant novel about friendships forged in childhood magic and ruptured by the high price of secrets that leave you forever changed.
Cadie Kessler has spent decades trying to cover up one truth. One moment. But deep down, didn’t she always know her secret would surface?
An urgent message from her long-estranged best friend Daniela Garcia brings Cadie, now a forestry researcher, back to her childhood home. There, Cadie and Daniela are forced to face a dark secret that ended both their idyllic childhood bond and the magical summer that takes up more space in Cadie’s memory than all her other years combined.
Now grown up, bound by long-held oaths, and faced with truths she does not wish to see, Cadie must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to protect the people and the forest she loves, as drought, foreclosures, and wildfire spark tensions between displaced migrant farmworkers and locals.

"A Mugful of Murder" is set on the eve of a run-off election for Somerville's next mayor on a cold night in 1921. Michael Martini, the Democratic candidate, has gathered his friends, supporters, and perhaps a few enemies for a fundraising party when a blizzard sweeps down Prospect Hill and snows the whole group in... and they are not full of cheer after Mr. Martini takes a sip of hot chocolate and drops to the floor, dead. The only person who isn't a suspect is Oswald Oslo, the young caterer who's been trapped in the dumbwaiter for hours. Once he's released, Oslo gathers railroad tycoons, Marshmallow Fluff entrepreneurs, journalists for the Prospect Phoenix and more for his very first investigation.
