 A Spark of Death by Bernadette Pajer
In A Spark of Death, Bernadette Pajer launches a delightful new mystery series. When Professor Benjamin Bradshaw discovers a despised colleague dead inside the Faraday Cage of the Electric Machine, his carefully controlled world shatters. The facts don't add up—the police shout murder—and Bradshaw is the lone suspect. To protect his young son and clear his name, Bradshaw must find the killer.  Seattle in 1901is a bustling blend of frontier attitude and cosmopolitan swagger. The Snoqualmie Falls Power Plant lights the city, but to most Seattleites, electricity is new-fangled and dangerous. The public wants a culprit—they want Bradshaw behind bars. The killer wants Bradshaw dead. And, most dangerous of all—Bradshaw just might be falling in love. Has Bradshaw come alive again only to lose all he holds dear? Before it's too late, will he discover the circuit path that led to a spark of death?
"Deft [and] highly entertaining" says Publisher's Weekly.
"Captivating ... [and] irresistibly involving (the science was cool too)... I enjoyed every minute I spent with Professor Bradshaw. He's smart and funny and achingly likable despite his tragic past... An excellent beginning to what is sure to be a top-notch series," says Tina Whittle's goodreads review. Read more of the review...

  Dinah Pelerin Series by Jeanne Matthews
Author Jeanne Matthews brings us the mysterious adventures of Dinah Pelerin. Fans of tropical islands and aboriginal culture will enjoy travelling with the irrepressible Dinah, first to Australia in Bones of Contention and then to Hawaii in Bet Your Bones. In Australia, Dinah must deal with crocodiles and poisonous snakes; her father's complicated past; her artist brother who believes himself possessed by the spirit of a snake god; her uncle's obsession with a woman he married but could never possess; an extended family seething with resentments; and a murdered man they all claim not to know.  Dinah tries to sort out the song lines of her ancestors while struggling to solve not one, but two, bizarre murders.
In Hawaii, Dinah's not too sure her best friend should get married on the lip of a volcano to a man she's known only six weeks. Add in questionable real estate deals, sacred bones, buckets of blood, a blackmailer stalking the groom, and even Pele the fire goddess, and it seems the stakes can't get any higher. When a member of the wedding party is shoved into molten lava, all bets are off.
