As a child, teenager, and young adult Edna didn't realize the value of the gifts God had given her. She felt she had been cheated out of everything life had to offer her, wanting to be socially compatible with the "elite people" even though she didn't know anything about their character. Since her daddy, Berkeley Herbert Brown, had the responsibility of taking care of his family, Edna believed he hadn't fulfilled his role as the provider because she didn't get the things she wanted as a child. One day while she was waiting in the Internal Medicine Clinic, Edna connected with a stranger who was anxious to share her heartbreaking story. The stranger's story made Edna reflect on her upbringing and the values she was taught from her father. Edna's challenges were replaced with an appreciation of the gifts God had given her through her parents, and she recalled good memories of her happy childhood and teenage life with her father and mother. She realized it wasn't about what her father had given her, but how he had taught her to have a happy life and fulfilled purpose.

Clio Dulaine and Clint Maroon are a mismatched pair who fall in love in New Orleans and go to Saratoga during racing season to make their millions -- whatever it takes.
In this “engrossing” novel from a Pulitzer Prize winner, a reporter investigates the recent death of woman believed murdered by her spouse years earlier (Publishers Weekly). What was the nude, recently slain body of Kaithlin Jordan doing spoiling the pristine turquoise waters of Miami Beach — especially when the dead socialite’s convicted killer husband is sitting on Death Row for having murdered her . . . ten years ago! Reporter Britt Montero lives for this kind of story. But she may die for this one as well. Because each question raises many others — and every hard-won answer reveals secret passions and explosive truths that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks. “An intelligent, thoroughly entertaining crime novel.” —Booklist “The real fun of this action-packed series revolves around Britt herself, a realistic character with insatiable curiosity and a mother, a landlady, pets, lovers, and her numerous Miami News sidekicks. . . . Highly recommended.” —Library Journal Praise for Edna Buchanan: “A supremely expert yarnspinner.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “Buchanan tells great stories—hot, horrible, homicidal stories.” —New York Times Book Review “Few writers can touch Buchanan.” —Chicago Tribune “I doubt if anyone else is doing it any better.” —Washington Post Book World “If you like crime, you’ll love Buchanan.” —Tampa Tribune
