The content planner : a complete guide to organize and share your ideas online / by Crocker, Angela,author.;
"The Content Planner helps business writers plan, create and publish content to a website. Readers know the importance of publishing frequent, unique content to their blog but they struggle to take action. Some are overwhelmed at the prospect of brainstorming topics to write about let alone writing and publishing the content. Others are unable to organize their ideas into a viable publishing schedule and end up publishing nothing. By using an editorial calendar to plan a month of online content in advance, each business will: save time; build relationships with customers; write more professionally; share content consistent with the brand; better serve their customers and potential customers. The Content Planner provides a structure that focuses each business on the types of content that support their business objectives. The process also formalizes their plans in a "pen on paper" calendar to use as a work plan. By knowing what to write about and when, the writers can take timely action."--

But when Marcus's assistant--and fiancee-Mavis reveals that a priceless death mask was also stolen, it becomes clear that murder wasn't the culprit's sole intention. Carmela can't resist the urge to investigate the growing mystery, but as the list of suspects increases, she realizes it'll take every trick in the book to unmask the killer thief before there's another night of murderous mischief ..."--Provided by publisher.

As the holidays approach, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends in the Women's Murder Club have much to celebrate. Crime is down. The medical examiner's office is quiet. Even the courts are showing some Christmas spirit. And the news cycle is so slow that journalist Cindy Thomas is on assignment to tell a story about the true meaning of the season for San Francisco. Then a fearsome criminal known only as "Loman" seizes control of the headlines. He is planning a deadly surprise for Christmas morning. And he has commissioned dozens of criminal colleagues to take actions that will mask his plans. All that Lindsay and the SFPD can figure out is that Loman's greed-- for riches, for bloodshed, for attention-- is limitless. Solving crimes never happens on schedule, but as this criminal mastermind unleashes credible threats by the hour, the month of December is upended for the Women's Murder Club. Avoiding tragedy is the only holiday miracle they seek.

The legacy / by Bowen, Gail,1942-author.;
"From the Arthur Ellis Award-winning Grand Master of Crime Writers comes the next installment in the Joanne Kilbourn series. When Joanne Shreve's former student, Val Masluk, writes the biography of acclaimed novelist Steven Brooks, Val once again becomes part of Joanne's life. The biography is already raising troubling questions about Brooks's past, and the wedding of Brooks's daughter and Joanne's son is scheduled the day before the biography is published. Both Joanne and her former student are haunted by memories of the seminar that led to the deaths of two people and the murder conviction of a third. The publication of the Brooks biography poses a threat not only to the future of the man and woman about to be married but also to the futures of those who love them. Joanne is certain that the threat is rooted in either her past or in that of Steven Brooks. The collateral damage caused by exposing that link will bring pain to both families, but life has taught Joanne that the only thing worse than knowing is not knowing."--

City dweller Gwen feels like she's living a secondhand life. She's thirty-eight, perpetually single, and in dire need of a dentist's appointment.

But then, isn't everyone? Then she's let go from a job she drifted into a decade ago and never left, and Gwen realizes it's time to make a change, starting with cleaning out her apartment. In the charity shop where she literally and metaphorically unloads her baggage, she discovers a group of weird and wonderful people devoted to finding a new home for donated items that have lost their use elsewhere.

Now it's time for Gwen to get out of her life in pause, and to find a way to move forward with bravery and humanity--and more regular dental care.

Charlatans / by Cook, Robin,1940-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Newly minted chief resident at Boston Memorial Hospital Noah Rothauser is swamped in his new position, from managing the surgical schedules to dealing with the fallouts from patient deaths. Known for its medical advances, the famed teaching hospital has fitted several ORs as "hybrid operating rooms of the future"--an improvement that seems positive until an anesthesia error during a routine procedure results in the death of an otherwise healthy man. Noah suspects Dr. William Mason, an egotistical, world-class surgeon, of an error during the operation and of tampering with the patient's record afterward. But Mason is quick to blame anesthesiologist, Dr. Ava London. When more anesthesia-related deaths start to occur, Noah is forced to question all of the residents on his staff, including Ava, and he quickly realizes there's more to her than what he sees. A social-media junkie, Ava has created multiple alternate personas for herself on the Internet. With his own job and credibility now in jeopardy, Noah must decide which doctor is at fault and who he can believe--before any more lives are lost"--
