The Grim Reader
Summary
It's Simmering Suspense Week at the Castleton Manor literary retreat in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts. Librarian Faith Newberry has her hands full with a week of author talks and signings planned. But when the bejeweled guest of honor, reigning queen of romantic suspense Gloria Bauer, clears out her luxurious suite and disappears without a trace, Faith must scramble to keep the manor's other guests - and her cranky boss, Marlene Russell - satisfied with one less author. Charlotte Jaxon, Castleton's owner, thinks Gloria's absence is all a stunt. Didn't Agatha Christie do the same thing decades ago? But when both a ransom note and Gloria's dog, Sir Arfer Conan Doyle, turn up, Faith quickly realizes the danger could be real. In exchange for Gloria's safe return, the kidnapper wants not only the stunning diamond necklace the author stowed away in the manor's safe, he also demands a priceless, one-of-a-kind handmade book from the library's collection. Is it all a public spectacle, or has something royally dreadful happened to the author? Despite Charlotte's wishes, Faith begins to investigate. She can't help but wonder if Charlotte knows more about the kidnapping than she is letting on. After all, publicity for Gloria is also publicity for Castleton Manor. Meanwhile, the remaining authors don't seem all that concerned about Gloria being gone. Without her around, their stars will shine brighter than Gloria's diamonds. And what about the disgruntled fan who seems more than a little obsessed with her favorite author? Any one of them, or the other castle guests, could be behind the plot. To restore Gloria to safety, Faith will need all the help she can get from her best friends, tuxedo cat Watson, and the trusty members of the Candle House Book Club. But can they find the interloping perpetrator before Gloria's deposed - permanently?

For Letter or Worse
Summary
When the Nancy Drew Clue Colloquium converges on Castleton Manor in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts, scholars and fans, dressed as their favorite detective, arrive in their 1930s roadsters. But it turns into a bumpy ride when Nancy A. and Nancy Z. - the good-natured bad girls of Nancy Drew fandom - start pulling pranks. Their group, the River Heights Roundtable, clashes with the Nancy Drew Clue Society, and librarian Faith Newberry strives to keep the peace between the two rival groups. The event takes a sinister turn when an ominous letter arrives and mysteries from the Nancy Drew series leap out of the books and into real life. As Faith puzzles over what is true and what is fiction, an even bigger mystery unfolds. One of the guests is found dead. Was the death a terrible accident? Or was the guest murdered? Faith and her chums in the Candle House Book Club get to work sleuthing out clues. But their snooping uncovers more questions than answers, and Faith fears they will never solve this whodunit in time. Fortunately, Faith's clever tuxedo cat, Watson, lends a paw to their investigation. His keen discovery sends Faith down a new road, but it leads to even more twists and turns and dead ends. Will she be able to motor through and finally turn the page on this mystery before it's too late?
