In The Beginning, There Was a Murder: An Amateur Female Sleuth Historical Cozy Mystery by P.C. James

When her best friend is murdered, Pauline Riddell finds she must take the law into her own hands if she is to see justice done.

It’s northern England, 1953, rationing is still in place and the Cold War is heating up. Her fiancé is out in Korea, where thankfully that war is winding down, and she’s just setting out in adult life working at a local armament factory. She’s hard-up, everyone is, but Pauline can see better times ahead, a home, a family, a responsible job, and she’s preparing for that future. Then her friend, Marjorie, is stabbed to death.

At first, Pauline is only concerned with helping the police. She’s intelligent and resourceful but also inexperienced, just out of school and still believing the world runs in trustworthy ways.

Then she finds the police think they’ve caught her friend’s killer and they’re winding down the investigation. Pauline now realizes this is a world where you can’t always leave things to others, you have to get involved yourself. But, as she investigates and puts pressure on the police for more action, she finds the killer wants her out of the way and the police have come to suspect she killed her friend. Can she catch the killer before she either faces the same fate as Marjorie or is hanged for killing her?

Freelance Investigative Reporter Eddie Hansen gets a tip on a missing death row prisoner, Annette Dobson, known as “The SIDS Killer.” Eddie adamantly believes Dobson’s execution was staged and that she was secretly shipped to a Behavioral Health Center in a remote location outside the small town of Dell City, Texas.

But as Eddie dives deeper into his investigation, he is forced to confront his own demons, becoming an unwilling participant in the asylum’s paranormal rehabilitation experiment.

This is the first novel in the SEVEN-X Series.

“Come out, come out, wherever you are…”

A beautiful young woman trapped within a killer’s sick and twisted game.
Stella Hughes called for help, but help did not come in time.
She could not hide, fight, or escape.
Stella was ensnared in the killer’s web.
The victim of a twisted serial killer’s mind.

Shortly after detective Paxton takes on the case of Stella Hughes, he realizes this is no ordinary murder.
It becomes clear very quickly that Stella, the girl Paxton had known, was the victim of another serial killer – a theory that’s quickly confirmed by a bright, quirky independent journalist named Marcy.
As they dig deeper into this killer, they soon learn of his twisted obsession.

With his friend FBI Special Agent Blake Wilder by his side, Paxton engages in a hunt for a killer that will take him on winding, twisting paths he never thought he would tread.
The killer will make him do what nobody else has been able to do before… confront himself and confront his past.
As the killer rampages through town and proves to be as elusive as anybody Paxton has ever hunted, the stakes for he and everybody around him rise.
And unless Paxton can find and capture him, nobody will be safe.

In the midst of filming her show, Lakyn Monroe vanished without a trace.
Four months have passed, and the unusual disappearance of the internet celebrity has garnered nationwide attention. With not a clue to the reasoning behind her disappearance, the beautiful girl with the world at her feet would soon become just another missing face.

It has been months since the horror of Windsor Island. FBI agent Emma Griffin has fully settled back in Sherwood. Balancing her time between the Bureau, the local police, and making sense of her ex-boyfriend’s mysterious death.

As they work together to uncover the truth behind what happened to Lakyn Moroe.
They get drawn into a string of murders and disappearances. Cases that seem unrelated, but as more clues are uncovered, more questions arise.

When the cases start to intertwine leading back to one man. A “disturbed and unstable” man that is fighting for his life against the executioner’s time. They start to discover the sinister secret behind Lakyn’s disappearance. Faced with an insurmountable opponent, they must fight against the clock to rescue the missing and save innocent lives.

Emma must not only uncover but expose the monsters lurking in the shadows.
As more is uncovered, a photo of a blonde woman throws Emma right back into her past.

Evil has many faces. This one you will never see coming.
