Shocking news reaches the Thursday Murder Club. An old friend in the antiques business has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. As the gang springs into action they encounter art forgers, online fraudsters and drug dealers, as well as heartache close to home. With the body count rising, the package still missing and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out? And who will be the last devil to die? - Goodreads

Liz Buxbaum, a perpetual daydreamer, has harbored feelings for her forever crush, Michael, who never noticed her before moving away. Now back in town, Liz is determined to catch his attention, even if it means befriending her annoying neighbor, Wes. As Liz schemes to win Michael's affections, she unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Wes. Amidst their growing closeness, Liz reevaluates her notions of love and Happily Ever After.

A tender (and humorous!) look at the way tough emotions can make us feel stuck and how the presence of a good friend and a deep belly laugh can make it easier to get through stormy feelings. Complete with backmatter to help stuck readers feel better through noticing, smelling, talking, and taking a deep breath, this is a perfect pick for those who loved Grumpy Monkey and The Rabbit Listened. - Goodreads
