Mason "Mace" Reid lives on the outskirts of Chicago and trains dogs to hunt for the dead.

This is a story of a book ~ and Martha, the shy librarian who unravels the mystery. Martha would rather deal with books than people. But when a mysterious book of fairy tales ends up in her hands, she has to reach out to people to help her uncover how the book came into being. The stories are from her past, transcribed by the beloved grandmother Martha believed dead for many years. When Martha uncovers a clue that her grandmother may still be alive, she is determined to uncover the truth – even if it means exposing a family secret.
The imperfects, by Amy Meyerson
If any family personifies imperfection, it’s the Millers. When their grandmother, Helen dies, estranged siblings Beck, Ashley and Jake find themselves under the same roof for the first time in years. In addition to grief, they now must confront old resentments and betrayals. When they find a secret inheritance hidden among her possessions – a huge diamond that went missing from the Austrian Empire a century ago – they all have reason to want to sell it. It’s only when they begin investigating Helen’s past that they realize how little they know about their brave, resilient grandmother. And, in the process, begin to heal their own relationships.
