Two cases with unreliable witnesses. One cold case in a sleepy college town. The other the victims have a strange carving on their backs. Eyewitness testimony is often unreliable. PI Riley Sullivan knows this and when she's asked to investigate the case of her murdered college roommate and the only witness is the man convicted of the crime, she doesn't have a lot to go on. She is drawn back to her college days and must for the first time confront the murder and all the people she once called friends. Along the way, she wonders if she knew them at all. Can she uncover long-buried secrets to find the killer? Meanwhile, Det. Luke Morgan and Riley's partner, Cooper Deagnan, are faced with challenging cases of their own. Cooper witnesses what he believes is a murder and the cops are hard-pressed to take him seriously - at first. Once the body is found, what Cooper witnessed conflicts with the evidence at hand. When a cryptic carving on the victim's back ties to another case, it's apparent something sinister is lurking. The pair must confront the seedy underbelly of the city to find and stop a killer.

Two dead international arms dealers. A saucy new neighbor with secrets to hide. A missing ancient scroll with possible magical powers. Just when Harper and Hattie thought all would be quiet - their sleepy little neighborhood is turned upside down. How and why are international arms dealers turning up dead in the most unlikely of places - like the freezer in Hattie's shop? That's only one of the questions that Harper and Hattie have to answer and not just because the ghosts of the dead are expecting Hattie to help them. This time, they aren't dealing with the local police who have grown accustomed to their psychic powers. Now, they are up against an FBI agent who might just have a few tricks up his sleeve. Toss in a new neighbor who might not be who she says she is, and Harper and Hattie must pull out every psychic trick they have if they are going to get to keep themselves and their neighbors safe from harm. Can they uncover the plot in time? If you like an entertaining blend of cozy mystery, paranormal women's fiction, and a hint of romance, you'll love Scandal Knocks Twice. Read Book #7 in the Harper & Hattie Magical Mystery series as a standalone or part of the series. While this is a standalone mystery, the stories do build from one book to the other.
