Kneading to die
Liz Mugavero.
Format:

Finally living her dream of baking healthy, organic pet treats after losing her stressful public relations job, Kristan Stan Connor becomes the prime suspect in the murder of the town vet who hated her newfangled organic ways and must find real killer before her business goes belly up.

The square root of murder
Ada Madison.
Format:

Dr. Sophie Knowles teaches math at Henley College in Massachusetts, but when a colleague turns up dead, it's up to her to find the killer before someone else gets subtracted.

The family vault
Charlotte MacLeod.
Format:

Great uncle Frederick has passed away, and the Kelling clan of Boston has made plans to put the old gentleman's remains in the family vault on Beacon Hill. When the vault is opened; however, there's someone already there that no one could have ever expected the sketleton of a burlesque queen who disappeared thirty years ago.

Friday The Rabbi Slept Late
Harry Kemelman.
Format:

The act seemed innocent enough: A purse left behind and an acquaintance takes it so that he can return it. But when the woman is murdered, Rabbi David Small--the man with the purse--becomes the prime suspect. He's a new member and leader of Barnard's Crossing's Jewish community, and has few friends he can turn to for help. Fortunately, Talmudic logic is a weapon that cuts through all misunderstandings. Rabbi Small must clear his name by helping a skeptical police force to find the real killer.

Consigned to death
Jane K. Cleland.
Format:

Josie Prescott's friends thought she was nuts when she left her high-paying New York auction house job and her boyfriend to live on the rugged and beautiful New Hampshire coast. Truth is, Josie wondered a little herself--never mind that her peripheral involvement in a well-publicized price-fixing scandal made the possibility of a new start incredibly enticing. Things are looking better, though, now that she's got her own auction business up and running and has made something of a success of her new life. That is, until she gets mixed up in murder, and the supremely eligible but emotionally distant local police chief seems to think she's the prime suspect.
