"Clemens certainly keeps you guessing."—Kirkus Reviews If Stella Crown loves anything as much as her farm, her Harley, and her friends, it's a good dose of rock-and-roll. So she jumps at the chance to see a Philadelphia legend in concert. But during the performance, a bomb threat empties out the club. When the panic subsides, a member of the band is missing. Later that night, the body of singer Genna is found in the club. Genna's boyfriend, the drummer of the band, is a talented but volatile man. Yet police suspect Stella's friend Jordan Granger, sound man for the band. Stella doesn't buy it. Were these two crimes even related? Meanwhile, Stella's boyfriend Nick has a secret of his own. Why isn't he returning her calls? And why was he so edgy, even before the disastrous concert? The answer is something Stella never imagined.

Stella Crown rarely takes a break from managing her Pennsylvania dairy farm unless it’s to take a spin on her Harley, but in the midst of the Christmas season she treats herself to a new tattoo. Halfway through the sitting at Wolf Ink, her tattoo artist and his wife, Mandy, disappear into the back room and Stella dozes off. When she awakes, annoyed to realize they’ve not come back, she drives home. Before long the police arrive to inform her that Mandy has been discovered dead—knocked out and left to freeze behind the tattoo parlor. And Wolf is nowhere to be found. Angry and guilt-stricken that she hasn’t protected her friends, Stella—something of a suspect herself—sets out to assist the cops and rescue the missing Wolf. With the help of another tattoo artist and an old flame who’s arrived at the farm, Stella dives into the world of tattooing, where she finds not only a close-knit and knowledgeable community, but also its underworld of back alley hacks, stolen designs, and violent patrons, plus some looming and controversial state legislation. Stella, stymied by more suspects than answers, is dragged yet again into a realm full of greed and danger when all she wants is to be left alone to run her farm and figure out the rest of her life. Wiser now, she also knows that to be true to herself, she must first do everything in her power to get Wolf back where he belongs.

Lismore resident Rob - a happily married empty-nester, enjoying his late middle age - has always defined himself by the quality of the roof over his head and the state of his family life. Solid. Safe. Stable. But when the 2022 flood hits, he and his wife Sal find themselves homeless, their lives now the very opposite of secure and predictable. While government and insurance investigations drag on, Rob and Sal are left with no choice but to rent while they wait to find out the fate of their badly damaged home. After a mix-up with contracts, they reluctantly agree to share a home unit in Ballina with strangers: a slightly older hippy couple, also impacted by the floods, who couldn't be more different from their new flatmates. A two-bedroom, one-bathroom flat with very thin walls ... surely they can stick it out for six months? They're all grown-ups, right? As each awkward, yet entertaining week rolls into the next, they graciously try to deal with one another's personal quirks while waiting for life to get back to normal. Only life has bigger plans for all four of them. Downstream is a story about the forsaken dreams and buried secrets that lie below the surface of our everyday lives - until they reappear in the aftermath of trauma and disruption. With compassion and humour, Annika Johansson explores what 'marriage' and 'home' really mean, when you are faced with the prospect of losing them both.

New York Times-Bestselling Author: A feud between two competitive moms may have turned fatal in the “engaging cozy series” set in small-town Maine (Publishers Weekly). Two of her four kids may be out of the nest, but Lucy Stone knows only too well that mothering is a lifetime commitment. At least she gets to kick back and enjoy a fancy Mother's Day brunch with her brood—that is, before the festivities are interrupted by a nasty scene courtesy of Barbara Hume and Tina Nowak. Opposites in every way, these mean moms have only one thing in common: the need to best each other at every turn, using their teenage daughters as pawns in elaborate games of one-upmanship. But even after witnessing the women’s claw-sharpening rituals, Lucy never expects to see actual blood spilled—until Tina is shot dead on the public tennis court… “As charming and enjoyable as ever.”—Romantic Times “Lucy Stone is an endearing sleuth.”—Dorothy Cannell

"A sprightly tale and a surprising ending, along with Clemens's trademark quirky characters."—Kirkus Reviews When dairy farmer Stella Crown's friend, veterinarian Carla Beaumont, is car-jacked it's just the first of a rash of vicious attacks on local business women. Then three more women—a truck driver, a minister, and a personal trainer—are targeted for vandalism and theft. But the community is shaken to the core when the kind-hearted Dr. Peterson is found murdered in her office. Worried that she and her farmhand Lucy might be next in line, Stella makes it her job to find the connection between the victims, get the good Detective Willard to stop the violence, and track down the killer. Meanwhile, Stella's boyfriend Nick insists on joining her on the farm. Will he, with his newly diagnosed MS, be able to protect her? Does she even want him to? As she investigates, Stella finds much that doesn't seem right in her usually quiet town. Between her suspicions of steroids at the local gym, irate patients at the doctor's office, and Carla's brand-new boyfriend, Stella's not sure where to focus her attentions. But focus she must—or more women will die.
