Bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson is back-this time with a scrappy heroine whose bold detective work and well-timed one-liners will leave you riveted-and entertained-at every turn. Damaging Secrets, the first book of her newest crime thriller series, is an engaging story of corruption and cover-up that you won't soon forget. New to town and a little rough around the edges, Detective Rachel Ryder finds herself on the receiving end of a suspicious person's call in Hamby, Georgia. When the call turns out to be a dead body, the medical examiner is quick to rule the death a suicide. But was it something more sinister? Everyone in the small department believes the case is closed-except for Rachel. The sudden passing of a local politician during the mayor's run for Congress strikes her as a little too coincidental, and Rachel is eager to follow her instincts. Her partner, Rob, a 30-year veteran, isn't the type to disobey his boss or ruffle any feathers, but he can't convince strong-willed Rachel to let it go. Obsessed with finding out the truth, Rachel begins to examine the evidence and drags her reluctant partner along for the ride. But the clues are confusing. Nothing is adding up. Puzzled and running out of time, Rachel and Rob rush to work every angle and bring the elusive killer to justice before someone else ends up dead.

Uncharted Territory

By: Carolyn Ridder Aspenson

Hello, we would like to update the description for this title as follows: A Five Star Mystery! Grab a latte, a box of Kleenex and a clean pair of panties. Carolyn Ridder Aspenson has done it again. --Lynn/Two Girls & a Book Suburban housewife Angela Panther didn't want to communicate with the dead, but the universe had other plans... When an unidentified fourteen-year-old boy takes a dive off an interstate overpass, to solve the case, Atlanta detective Aaron Banner calls on some unlikely help--from psychic medium Angela Panther. Banner knows she's legit, and knows she'll get to the truth about his junior John Doe--was the boy's death suicide--or murder? The problem is, the spirit can't remember who he was or the night he died, and to make matters worse, he doesn't care. Instead he convinces Angela to focus on another spirit, one different than Angela's usual, garden-variety ghost. To complicate matters, Angela's best friend Mel, newly single and on the prowl, has her sights set on the sexy Detective Banner, and Angela's mother drives her even more crazy dead than alive. To solve the dead duo's dilemmas, armed with little more than their double lattes and a tiny pink bottle of wannabe pepper spray, Angela and her sex-starved sidekick Mel must venture into the dark underbelly of Atlanta and come face to face with a gang of saggy-pantsed hoodlums ready to take them out. Will they make it out alive, or end up pushing up daisies alongside the spirits they're trying to help?

Foreclosure Fatality

A Lily Sprayberry Realtor Cozy Mystery

By: Carolyn Ridder Aspenson

Murder and sparring seniors stir up trouble for a spunky, small-town Georgia realtor in this cozy mystery by the author of Realtor Rub Out. I made a promise, multiple times actually, to my husband, the Bramblett County Sheriff. I promised I wouldn’t put my life at risk doing his job. But… when I find my potential client’s son standing over her dead body, all bets are off. I just can’t let it go, no matter how hard I try. Truth be told, I’d put myself up against a murderer any day if it kept me from taking sides between Henrietta and Bonnie, besties currently on the outs. Risking my life is one thing, but getting between those two is something no person in their right mind should do. Who am I kidding? I can’t stop myself from trying to help them too. I just hope I come out of this alive. “The supporting characters are a hoot!” —Caroline Fardig, USA Today–bestselling author
