Round Up the Usual Peacocks: A Meg Langslow Mystery (Meg Langslow Mysteries, 31)
New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews first introduced us to Meg Langslow as a crime-solving bridesmaid. In her 31st mystery, Round Up the Usual Peacocks, Meg returns to her roots, juggling cold cases and wedding guests.
Kevin, Meg's cyber-savvy nephew who lives in the basement, comes to her with a problem. He's become involved as the techie for a true-crime podcast, one that focuses on Virginia cold cases and unsolved crimes. And he thinks their podcast has hit a nerve with someone . . . one of the podcast team has had a brush with death that Kevin thinks was an attempted murder, not an accident.
Kevin rather sheepishly asks for Meg's help in checking out the people involved in a couple of the cases. "Given your ability to find out stuff online, why do you need MY help?" she asks. "Um . . . because I've already done everything I can online. This'll take going around and TALKING to people," he exclaims, with visible horror. "In person!" Not his thing. And no, it can't wait until after the wedding, because he's afraid whoever's after them might take advantage of the chaos of the wedding at Trinity or the reception at Meg and Michael's house to strike again.
So on top of everything she's doing to round up vendors and supplies and take care of demanding out-of-town guests, Meg must hunt down the surviving suspects from three relatively local cold cases so she can figure out if they have it in for the podcasters. Could there be a connection to a musician on the brink of stardom who disappeared two decades ago and hasn't been seen since?

I only had time to read Sarra Cannons book "Venom" but will add to my review as I read.
Venom is about Rend, which if you have read Sacrifice Me, then you'll know who I'm talking about. Rend was always so mysterious and secretive in Sacrifice Me, so of course he got my attention. I wondered what he went through to make him this way, while enjoying what he brought to the story.
In Venom, we read about his past. We learn why he is this way, and it's heartbreaking. The story is fast-paced, full of action, revealing what readers have wanted to know about him.
I love Sarra Cannon's works, I have read each and everyone-multiple times-and am never disappointed.
