To noveller om det uventede og uretfærdige. 

I "Garfield" tager Lisette i sommerhus med sin bedste veninde Claudia, men næste morgen findes Claudia myrdet. Hvem har gjort det?

I "Alle er flinke i Søborg" er Sofies far hjemløs, og hun synes det er pinligt. Men da faderen medvirker til at opklare en forbrydelse, bliver Sofie stolt af ham

Begge noveller er velskrevne og interessante. Man når at komme lidt ind under huden på de to hovedpersoner. At forstå dem. Jeg er ikke så meget til novelle normalt eller krimier for den sags skyld, men disse var gode

Vaudeville stage magician Christopher Fiend lives for the spotlight. His chance at big time stardom awaits him in Chicago, the next stop on the circuit after the little town of Twelfth Junction.

Edward Smith wants nothing to do with his family's theater. Until Christopher catches his eye on opening night, then treats him to a very special performance during intermission.

When a dead body turns up in the middle of Christopher’s act, suspicion immediately falls on him. If Christopher and Edward can’t work together to clear his name, Christopher won’t make it to Chicago in time. Edward knows he shouldn’t get attached to a man who will be gone in two days, but his heart—and a very special angel—have other ideas.

Sandra Dallas's nyeste bog og en af hendes bedste. Personerne er interessante, og nogen man kan forstå og leve sig ind i. Der er ingen fordømmelse, kun interesse.

It is the spring of 1885 and wealthy New York socialite Beret Osmundsen has been estranged from her younger sister, Lillie, for a year when she gets word from her aunt and uncle that Lillie has died suddenly in Denver. What they do not tell her is that Lillie had become a prostitute and was brutally murdered in the brothel where she had been living. When Beret discovers the sordid truth of Lillie’s death, she makes her way to Denver, determined to find her sister’s murderer. Detective Mick McCauley may not want her involved in the case, but Beret is determined, and the investigation soon takes her from the dangerous, seedy underworld of Denver’s tenderloin to the highest levels of Denver society. Along the way, Beret not only learns the depths of Lillie’s depravity, but also exposes the sinister side of Gilded Age ambition in the process.
