The life and death of Rose Doucette : a novel / by Hunsicker, Harry,author.;
Dallas PI Dylan Fisher thought he was done with his ex-wife -- but now he's solving her murder. Dallas private investigator Dylan Fisher hasn't seen his ex-wife, Rose, in three years -- which is why he's surprised when she asks him to meet her at a hotel. Rose Doucette is a homicide detective, and she wants Dylan's help with a murder investigation that she's been asked to step back from but can't seem to let go. They review the details of the case and part ways -- but as Rose is leaving the parking lot, Dylan sees a suspicious car begin to follow her. Feeling uneasy, he tails the car and tries to warn Rose, but he's too late -- the driver of the car shoots her, killing her instantly, before speeding away. The police are determined to pin the murder on Dylan, so he's left with no choice but to find the killer himself. Teaming up with Rose's widower, a defense attorney named Tito, the pair dive into Rose's past to figure out who could've wanted to kill the woman they both loved -- and what they were trying to hide.

And just when things seem they can't get any more complicated, people start turning up dead in her neighborhood. As Josephine struggles to find her voice and her confidence amidst a messy web of relationships and a string of murders, she and those around her must learn to push on with determination, like headstrong little turtles learning to dance slowly in a world that's too violent and moving too fast"--Provided by publisher.

The last caretaker : a novel / by Strawser, Jessica,author.;
"Katie's divorce was, in a word, humiliating. So when her friend Bess offers a fresh start--a resident caretaking job at a nature preserve--Katie accepts. No matter that she's not exactly a "nature person." How hard can it be? But from day one, something feels off. Katie's new farmhouse looks as if the last caretaker barely moved out at all. When a frantic, terrified woman arrives late at night, expecting a safe place to hide, it's clear caretaking involves way more than Katie bargained for. Suddenly, Katie is no longer sure who she can trust: the brooding groundskeeper, the daily regulars--hikers, dog walkers, bird-watchers, photographers--even Bess. As Katie digs deeper for clues in what the last caretaker left behind, she must discover courage she never knew she had--and decide how much she'll risk to do the right thing."--
