A hundred and fifty years ago, in the sleepy fishing village of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dixon would give the local children cakes and treats and accept their baby teeth as payment. After her husband Sonny was killed in a boating accident and a kitchen fire left her horribly scarred, Matilda became a recluse - but she still collected baby teeth, now leaving coins behind instead of treats. When two children went missing on their way to visit the tooth fairy, the townspeople lynched Matilda in retaliation - just as the two children turned up alive and well. Today, Kyle Walsh lives his life in fear, and has ever since he left Darkness Falls as a boy. Kyle is the only one who knows the truth - that the spirit of Matilda Dixon has returned to exact her revenge. Now Kyle must return home to confront his troubled past and save his childhood sweetheart Caitlin and her younger brother Michael from the tooth fairy - before she kills again

“A heart-wrenching, beautiful, darkly comic, deeply necessary tale that stuns again and again with razor-sharp prose and glittering wit. Robert Goolrick is, without question, one of the greatest storytellers of our time.” —Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger’s Wife In the spellbinding new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Goolrick, 1980s Manhattan shimmers like the mirage it was, as money, power, and invincibility seduce a group of young Wall Street turks. Together they reach the pinnacle, achieving the kind of wealth that grants them access to anything--and anyone. Until, one by one, they fall. Goolrick’s literary chops are on full display, painting an authentic portrait of a hedonistic era, tense and stylish, perfectly mixing adrenaline and melancholy. Stunning in its acute observations about great wealth and its absence, and deeply moving in its depiction of the ways in which these men learn to cope with both extremes, it’s a true tour de force. “An addictive slice of semiautobiographical fiction . . . Goolrick vividly plumbs the depths of fortune and regret. The result is a compulsively readable examination of the highs and lows of life in the big city.” —Publishers Weekly “A compelling, wholly seductive narrative voice . . . Goolrick’s stellar prose infuses this redemption story with a good deal of depth and despair, making it read like the literary version of The Wolf of Wall Street.” —Booklist “A dark, intoxicating morality tale . . . With his impeccable prose, Goolrick focuses his unflinching eye on the grittiness beneath the sleek facade of nightclubs, fashion, and monied Manhattan extravagance. Beautifully crafted, seductive, and provocative.” —Garth Stein, author of A Sudden Light and The Art of Racing in the Rain

A baker who sees the dead. One too many suitors. And a killer. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder. This is a standalone novel. *A laugh out loud cozy mystery by New York Times bestseller Addison Moore* Each book in the series can be enjoyed on its own but for maximum enjoyment you might want to read them in order.My name is Lottie Lemon and I see dead pets. On occasion I see a once-upon a human too but mostly it's just cute little furry beasts who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owners impending doom. A divorce party. Of all the asinine things I've been asked to cater, this is at the top of the list. And the guests are some of the wealthiest people I've ever met. Everything seems to be going well, but right after the ex-bride and groom make a bonfire out of their legal documents, disaster strikes, and one of my lemon bars just so happens to be in the thick of it. A socialite is murdered right before our eyes, and the blame is quickly pinned on my bakery. I'm going to get to the bottom of this before it ruins me. And while I'm at it, I'm hoping to repair things between Noah and Everett. Lord knows I've already ruined things in that department-perhaps forever. Lottie Lemon has a brand new bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors, and she has the supernatural ability to see dead pets-which are always harbingers for ominous things to come. Throw in the occasional ghost of the human variety, a string of murders, and her insatiable thirst for justice, and you'll have more chaos than you know what to do with. Living in the small town of Honey Hollow can be murder.
