Book #7 – A Thousand & One Alibis
In this magical mix-up of fairy tales and murder, Little Red Riding Hood solves the mystery at the heart of A Thousand and One Nights . . .
How much power do stories have in the face of murder?
Alchemist Red and her friends are hitting the road, this time to visit Red’s homeland–a distant desert island full of magic, history, and now, danger. They haven’t even reached their final destination before a mysterious body appears–and just as quickly, is gone!
The last thing on Red’s family vacation agenda is getting mixed up with a murder and a fancy new Palace. But the local police need help, especially as the plot lines multiply: a reclusive heiress rumored to get rid of a secretary every moon, a local ifrit making perilous deals, a down-on-his luck newcomer jumping into the fray, and even a crew of shipwrecked sailors looking to change their fortune. Not to mention a decades-old cold case and a series of strange shipping deals! Red’s parents may be known for seeing the future, but what the island truly needs is practicality and clear sight in the present. Can Red reconcile with her past and realize her own unique gifts in time . . . or will this tale be too complex to solve?
Book #8 – Tangled Up in Murder
In this magical mix-up of fairy tales and murder, Little Red Riding Hood solves the mystery at the heart of Rapunzel . . .
How do we stand up for the ones we love?
Alchemist and shopkeeper Red is looking forward to her town’s Halloween festival, but the incessant rain is putting a damper on her spirits. Not to mention the fact that her long-term partner, Luca, has been acting strangely of late. And in case that wasn’t enough, police officer Thorn shows up with a very mysterious note about a kidnapped child . . .
Red does her best to help Officer Thorn analyze the anonymous note, but no children have been kidnapped from Belville–for nearly two hundred years. Just as the town is ready to dismiss the note as a prank, a stranger runs down from the mountain, injured and crying “murder.” Where did the stranger come from? Who has been killed? And was that anonymous note perhaps a century or two too late?
With Halloween spooks and heavy thunderstorms looming on the horizon, Red and her friends race to help unravel the mystery. But for a cold case, this one is hitting very close to home. Red will need all her alchemical know-how and more to solve this knotty problem!
This special edition includes a new epilogue, recipes, and a sneak peek at another story set in the magical world of Beyond.
