Lei de Cupcakes (Cupcakes #3)
by Bethany LopezTout le monde rêve de vacances à Hawaï... Ils vous vendent les boissons avec des petits parasols, l'observation des dauphins et de longues promenades sur la plage. Ce qui arrive probablement, si vous êtes cette chanceuse qui vit sa lune de miel de rêve, mais si vous êtes une détective privée, une sorte de poisson hors de l'eau comme moi, il n'y a pas de temps pour se détendre, car les ennuis ne sont jamais loin derrière. Au lieu des cocktails, j'ai fini par avoir affaire dans les bas-fonds miteux de la Grande Île. Et je n'ai pas vu un seul fichu dauphin alors que j'étais sous couverture sur un bateau qui débordait de trafiquants de drogue, de caïds et de pédophiles. Elin et Elena pensent que la famille de Cade sont les personnes les plus cool en dehors de Snapchat, mais il est difficile de rencontrer les parents quand ton petit ami a une trentaine d'années et n'a jamais eu de relation sérieuse. Mes copines ne m'avaient jamais autant manqué de toute ma vie, mais Amy May, Bea et Carmen avaient toutes leurs propres problèmes et ne pouvaient pas venir à mon secours. La seule chose qui aurait pu m'aider avec ces "vacances", aurait été d’avoir un lei composé de Cupcakes.
Lehrter Station (John Russell #5)
by David DowningWWII has ended... But the danger has just begun for a spy caught between political superpowers.Book 5 in the Jack Russell historical thriller series.Paris, November 1945. John Russell is walking home along the banks of the Seine on a cold and misty evening when Soviet agent Yevgeny Shchepkin falls into step alongside him. Shchepkin tells Russell that the American intelligence will soon be asking him to undertake some low grade espionage on their behalf--assessing the strains between different sections of the German Communist Party--and that Shchepkin's own bosses in Moscow want him to accept the task and pass his findings on to them. He adds that refusal will put Russell's livelihood and life at risk, but that once he has accepted it, he'll find himself even further entangled in the Soviet net. It's a lose-lose situation.Shchepkin admits that his own survival now depends on his ability to utilize Russell. The only way out for the two of them is to make a deal with the Americans. If they can come up with something the Americans want or need badly enough, then perhaps Russell will be forgiven for handing German atomic secrets over to Moscow and Shchepkin might be offered the sort of sanctuary that also safeguards the lives of his wife and daughter in Moscow. Every decision Russell makes now is a dangerous one.From the Hardcover edition.
Legs Benedict
by Mary DaheimA week of "mayhem-as-usual" at Hillside Manor kicks off with the arrival of a mysterious "Mr. Smith" and his floozie "Mrs." from New York City-and it accelerates into chaos when Mr. Smith himself kicks off, a victim of the foulest of plays. Hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn is shocked to learn that her now-defunct roomer was actually "Legs" Benedict-hit man for the notorious Ronzini Family-and that virtually every other guests at her B&B had good reason to want Legs broken. Judith's policeman-hubby Joe is understandably peeved that homicide happened (again!) under his own roof. And when the FBI moves in-more interested in nabbing a Nazi nutcase than a malicious mobster murderer-the local cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe and irrepressible cousin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming.
