Mice and Men Series Box Set 2 includes Shattered Throne and Mended Crown. Books three and four in a series of sinister romances. Shattered Throne With her family’s safety in jeopardy and her heart on the line, Willow finds herself trapped in a hopeless situation—marry the man who betrayed her and trust in his plan? Or can she navigate the deadly political landscape alone and save the ones she loves? The question may be easier said than done when an unearthed secret from the past flips her entire perspective on its head. Is Donatello the monster she’s been led to believe? Or is he as much a victim of past events as she is… With a war looming and their relationship brewing, both find their loyalties tested to their breaking point—and a new threat on the horizon leaves them little time to waste. As the past and present finally collide, will they rise above the fray… Or will old grudges finally tear them apart? Mended Crown A broken engagement should signal the end of the feud blazing between the Stepanovs and Vanicis—barring one small hitch no one foresaw: a surprise pregnancy that could turn this petty misunderstanding into outright war. For Donatello, this new baby is a shred of hope after nearly a decade of misery—one he won’t forfeit without a fight. For Willow, this ordeal is a glaring reminder of her own conflicted loyalty, leading to a choice she will have to live with for the rest of her life... Salvaging this union will be the hardest, bloodiest war Donatello has fought yet. But, as the danger looming above the city reaches a breaking point, will they outlast the violence with their lives—and hearts—intact? Mice and Men is a standalone series in the War of Roses Universe.

The first three novels in the gritty series featuring a police detective in England’s East Midlands. Included in this compelling crime fiction collection are: The Sandringham Mystery Shocking evidence is unearthed in the cellar of a Victorian mansion belonging to a wealthy British couple. The owner knows nothing about a passport-forging operation—or about any human remains. But he does have something else to hide from DI Tim Yates and the police, and the crimes of the past may lead to tragedy in the present . . . Previously published as Sausage Hall The Canal Murders A decapitated body found in the Fossdyke Canal may be the first clue that finally connects a series of recent disappearances: a paper girl out on her rounds; a prostitute abducted off the street; an immigrant woman who vanished after stepping off a bus. But after frogmen find two more corpses and DI Yates learns about a similarity to a long-ago case, the situation starts becoming as murky as the canal itself . . . Previously published as Gentleman Jack The Heritage Murders A wealthy wanted man attempts to stay under the radar as he returns to England, driven by an obsessive need to solve a family mystery. But his presence may be stirring up trouble, and soon Yates and his partner, DS Juliet Armstrong, are looking into a vanished woman’s possible murder, a Traveller child who may be at risk, and lingering questions surrounding a trafficking ring that could still be operating under their noses . . . Previously published as DeVries

Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the heroines. What incredible choices there are today in mystery series! This three-volume encyclopedia of women characters in the mystery novel is like a gigantic menu. Like a menu, the descriptions of the items that are provided are subjective. Volume 3 of Mystery Women as currently updated adds an additional 42 sleuths to the 500 plus who were covered in the initial Volume 3. These are more recently discovered sleuths who were introduced during the period from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. This more than doubles the number of sleuths introduced in the 1980s (298 of whom were covered in Volume 2) and easily exceeded the 347 series (and some outstanding individuals) described in Volume 1, which covered a 130-year period from 1860-1979. It also includes updates on those individuals covered in the first edition; changes in status, short reviews of books published since the first edition through December 31, 2008.
