The "M" Word
by Jane IsenbergWith a sensibility shaped in the sixties and kids born in the seventies, Jersey City community college professor Bel Barrett hit the big five-0 in the nineties. The patronage politics of urban academia and the dreams and demands of city students threaten to burn Bel out but it's hot flashes and a fancy fundraiser that really turn the heat on. Before Bel has a chance to do justice to the tempting display of calorie- laden food, her slim and attractive boss, college president Dr. Altagracia Garcia, pops a few goodies, crumples to the floor, and is pronounced dead. The murder is pinned on one of Bel's students, but Bel isn't buying it. The accused is a Culinary Arts major whose best grade in English was an "incomplete," but the boy is no killer. Although President Garcia had made her presence felt at the college, she'd ground her stiletto heels into a few administrative toes in the process. But most students and faculty adored her, and finding out who wanted the assertive lady out of the way is the least Bel can do-even when it means chasing through a maze of phony clues and false leads that challenge her mid-life memory...and learning that she herself has become the target of someone majoring in murder.

Macdeath (An Ivy Meadows Mystery #1)
by Cindy BrownAn actress encounters murder most foul: “This gut-splitting mystery is a hilarious riff on an avant-garde production of ‘the Scottish play’” (Mystery Scene Magazine). Like anyone else in the acting profession, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But she’s finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of the play in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm—not her flying cauldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director. But when one of the cast dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is “murder most foul” and that she’s the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncle’s detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won career—and her life. “Who cannot have fun with a disastrous (and murderous) production of Macbeth? Cindy Brown’s first novel is a delicious romp with plenty of humor and suspense . . . A fun heroine.” —Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author of the Molly Murphy Mysteries “Funny and unexpectedly poignant, Macdeath is that rarest of creatures: a mystery that will make you laugh out loud.
