A split-second reaction changes the course of two lives forever. A rich inheritance may come with a very high price. A granite curling stone becomes a silent partner in crime. Detectives Tate Boman and Claire Kozak search for a missing young woman as the pressure from the politicians and the media grows. They follow the trail as it sweeps through the normally quiet communities of Tsawwassen and Ladner, exposing hidden secrets and unearthing long concealed sins. Claire tracks the puzzling clues through smoke and fire, leading to a dangerous confrontation. Tate's gambit to move the case forward may cost him his new job, but he finds comfort from an unexpected source. Together, they discard the easy solutions as they press forward for justice. From the tattered history of the family farm to the cryptic streets of suburbia, the Boundary detectives navigate the challenge of their own changing relationships while they relentlessly unravel the tangled threads of seemingly unrelated crimes. When the smoke clears, who will be left standing? Blood From A Stone, the second book in the Boundary Detectives Series, examines the moral fibre of tough decisions while navigating the complex relationships of modern life. What truth will Claire and Tate discover when the secrets are finally unwrapped?]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1047405</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1047405</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Holloway, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1047405033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781069004925/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Roaring Game Murders]]></title><description><![CDATA[Wedged between Vancouver and the U.S. Border, the Boundary Police are struggling to find the killer of one of their own officers. When a curler is murdered, the pressure intensifies. Tate Boman, an experienced Vancouver detective, is excited to be back in the field after four years working on data analysis with the Integrated Task Force. He is inserted into the Boundary force to team with newly minted Detective Claire Kozak, who is determined to prove her worth. Together they disinter the hidden truths, old and new, of the communities of Tsawwassen and Ladner. But Tate has another assignment, one that can only be completed from deep within the workings of the Boundary Police. What starts as a traditional murder mystery with curling at its heart, transitions to a fast-paced thriller with cartels and corruption driving the plot forward. From learning to curl, to exploring the dikes that protect the city from the Pacific Ocean, Tate and Claire cannot avoid the modern problems of climate change, drugs, race, and bullying. They uncover important truths about themselves as they follow the tangled chain of events leading to a climactic confrontation.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1047406</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1047406</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Holloway, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1047406033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781069004901/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Alphabet Sleuths]]></title><description><![CDATA["Four senior gal pals.

At least for Bernadette. But she doesn't need to see the butterflies flitting around the springtime flowers. She feels them in her stomach whenever her fiancé, Jack, enters the room. Her friend Agnes, on the other hand, isn't having any of it. "Once a member of Sunset Hall, always a member of Sunset Hall!" That's how it's supposed to be. Bernadette's plan to leave the house share and its residents behind stings. Nevertheless, Agnes and the not-so-sprightly gang of pensioners launch into wedding planning mode after a last-minute spot opens at the high-class Foxglove Manor-in just two weeks. The minimum number of guests to even get the champagne fountain bubbling is twenty-a tall request for a couple in their eighties-not to mention the high likelihood of conflict among said guests since Bernadette was once a police informant, and Jack has never been on the "right side of the law." Just when they think they have the guest list squared away-with some help from Charlie's newfound expertise in online dating-a threatening note appears at the house. Agnes and the others decide to hide it from the betrothed, not wanting to cause them stress. With the help of a private investigator (another person to add to the guest list!), Agnes digs into the case of the poison pen letter, determined to help the wedding go off without a hitch ... aside from the bodies they've already had to hide from the blushing bride"--]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042391</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042391</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Swann, Leonie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1042391033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781641297110/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death at A Firefly Tea]]></title><description><![CDATA["As fireflies dazzle like tiny glowing lanterns, tea maven Theodosia hosts an elegant evening tea on the patio of the Tangled Rose B and B.

Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she's dead in the river. In a close-knit small town, a death like this isn't simple. It comes wrapped in generations--old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now, and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty's tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel's death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line"--]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1040864</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1040864</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[French, Tana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1040864033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593493465/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Good Person]]></title><description><![CDATA["An electric debut from a rising-star screenwriter about a millennial antihero who seeks revenge on her ex-situationship with a drunken hex, only for him to actually die the next day. Lillian and Henry have very much been enjoying each other's company the last few months, and quite frantically in bed. Even though Lillian's plain Jane of a best friend Jamie still frustratingly calls it "a situationship," she doesn't know anything. Lillian will lock Henry down -- and she has a plan. Everyone knows you have to be strategic about these things. After all, it's clear Henry's hooked on her sexually deviant ways. So when Henry blindsides her with a breakup instead of the love declaration she told herself was on its way, Lillian exacts revenge by performing a drunken hex. There's a little wrinkle, though: Henry actually ends up dead the next morning, and Lillian becomes a prime suspect in his murder case. As the Boston police begin investigating Henry's death, Lillian quickly learns she wasn't the only woman in his life -- and to cope with this reckoning, she plunges into a new obsession: stalking the long-term girlfriend Henry left behind. Desperate to control the narrative around her relationship with Henry, her season of mourning, and where she was the night he died, Lillian's chaotic pursuit for recognition (but only in all the right ways) takes her to ever darker places, and slowly she begins to uncover a reality she dearly wishes had stayed under wraps"--]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1041626</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1041626</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, Kirsten]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1041626033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217048045/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Happened Next]]></title><description><![CDATA[Charlie Kilgore was too young to remember anything, really, about how events on the lake unfolded twenty-five years ago. He just knows what he's been told: that his father stabbed a man to death, left Charlie's mother critically wounded, and then disappeared, never to be seen again. Now Charlie believes there must be more to what happened. Using the shards of the story he's uncovered so far as the heart of a true crime podcast, Charlie returns to his hometown in the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Old friends, family, authorities, and even collateral victims have moved on, and no one wants to dredge up what's long forgotten. Except Charlie. He wants to know what could have transformed a quiet man into a monster. And what happened next. But when Charlie starts asking questions of people with so much to hide, getting to the truth becomes dangerous. Because on this lake--in this family--the past isn't dead and buried at all. In fact, it's back with a vengeance.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042292</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1042292</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hill, Edwin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1042292033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781662536854/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hadacol Boogie]]></title><description><![CDATA["When a cloaked, disfigured man leaves a dead woman in a garbage bag on Dave Robicheaux's property, he knows something bigger and even darker is at play.

Switzerland, 1924. Lady sleuth Olive Belgrave is set to enjoy a holiday of ice-skating and snowshoeing in the glamorous alpine setting of St. Moritz, but her plans are rudely interrupted when an unfortunate accident takes place. It quickly becomes clear that the tragic event was a carefully concealed murder. Olive isn't one to shy away from a challenge, and with her sharp intuition and knowledge of the high society set, she uncovers motives among the elite guests. However, this case is one of the most challenging she's faced. Her suspects include a famous lady mountaineer, an up-and-coming fashion designer, a mousy lady's maid, and several gentlemen sportsmen who seem to be only interested in tobogganing, ice-climbing, and the new sport of skiing down the mountain slopes. Can Olive find the cunning killer and solve the impossible crime before it's too late? If you enjoy puzzling mysteries set among the glitz and glamor of the 1920s, you'll enjoy Murder in the Alps, the latest installment of USA Today bestselling author Sara Rosett's High Society Lady Detective series.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1046448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C1046448</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rosett, Sara]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1046448033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781950054732/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone in This Bank Is A Thief]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ten heists.
