With each new investigation, the team uncovers secrets, motives, and twists that keep readers on the edge of their seat. The novel explores themes of teamwork, justice, and the intricacies of solving crimes, offering a compelling look at the pursuit of truth and the consequences of uncovering hidden realities.

    In Chap­ter 62 of “We Solve Mur­ders,” the scene opens with Rosie being praised by Mark, the make­up artist, who com­ments on her abil­i­ty to look fab­u­lous despite her lack of sleep. Rosie embraces the dra­mat­ic flair in her life and enjoys cre­at­ing chaos, a skill she has honed over the years. Fol­low­ing an enjoy­able evening out with Steve, where they shared drinks and laugh­ter, Amy enters with news about Eddie, who is in Dublin and poten­tial­ly dan­ger­ous.

    As they dis­cuss Eddie and his inten­tions, Rosie pre­pares for her appear­ance on Ireland’s lead­ing break­fast show, “An Irish Break­fast.” It’s evi­dent that there is more at stake than just a tele­vi­sion seg­ment, as Amy is seen buy­ing a gun, hint­ing at a deep­er con­flict. While Rosie con­tem­plates her plan to counter Eddie, she decides to lever­age the show for a sig­nif­i­cant announce­ment, reach­ing out to Michael O’Doherty, the show’s pro­duc­er.

    The morn­ing of the broad­cast arrives, with Rosie and Amy appear­ing fresh while Steve lies inca­pac­i­tat­ed after a night of drink­ing. Rosie takes the stage with excite­ment, greet­ed by the hosts Kel­lie and Ryan, who are thrilled to have her back. The con­ver­sa­tion begins light-heart­ed­ly, with jokes about her drink­ing habits, but soon Rosie shifts the nar­ra­tive to a more seri­ous mat­ter about her recent near-drown­ing expe­ri­ence in South Car­oli­na.

    Her life-sav­ing encounter with a man who spoke in an Irish accent becomes the crux of her announce­ment. Rosie reveals she’s on a mis­sion to find this man to thank him. As she describes him, the stu­dio lights up when a pho­to of Eddie Flood appears on screen, reveal­ing her con­nec­tion to a poten­tial­ly dan­ger­ous fig­ure. Rosie offers a reward of twen­ty thou­sand euros for any infor­ma­tion lead­ing to Eddie’s where­abouts, urg­ing view­ers to reach out if they spot him. The chap­ter ends with Rosie ques­tion­ing her per­for­mance while Steve admits to hav­ing a rough morn­ing. They pre­pare to move on to their next step, hint­ing at fur­ther adven­tures ahead.

    In Chap­ter 62 of “All the Col­ors of the Dark,” Patch sits alone at lunch, absorbed in his map, when Misty Mey­er approach­es him, dressed in a navy jumper and a white turtle­neck. She presents him with a large cake, a gift to cel­e­brate his missed birth­day. The cake, an awk­ward cre­ation with a skull and cross­bones, is a prod­uct of Misty’s culi­nary class­es. Despite its unap­peal­ing appear­ance, Misty excit­ed­ly describes her recent progress in cake dec­o­ra­tion, while Patch strug­gles to muster any enthu­si­asm.

    As Patch attempts to par­take in the cake, he notices its salty fla­vor but remains polite. The con­ver­sa­tion between them shifts to per­son­al anec­dotes; Misty men­tions her uncle’s work with pirates, only to clar­i­fy that he pre­vents copy­right pira­cy, which fails to cap­ti­vate Patch’s inter­est. When Misty notices his mea­ger lunch of but­tered bread and an apple, she sug­gests he may be on a diet, even offer­ing pills from a mutu­al acquain­tance, Christy Dal­ton, as a dim­ly humor­ous rem­e­dy.

    After lunch, Patch takes ini­tia­tive by pil­fer­ing paper from the sup­ply clos­et at school to cre­ate posters for a miss­ing girl, Grace, though the details are vague. Saint joins him at the school gates, and they share a silent walk, board­ing a bus togeth­er. Dur­ing the jour­ney, Patch dozes off, feel­ing cared for by Saint, who watch­es over him pro­tec­tive­ly. She con­tem­plates hold­ing his hand, but refrains when her grand­moth­er dis­ap­proves.

    Their bus trav­els through var­i­ous towns, and Patch reflects on Grace’s age and sto­ries, piec­ing togeth­er frag­ments that only he seems to under­stand. He attrib­ut­es Grace’s stature to mem­o­ries where she feels near him, allow­ing for imag­i­na­tive con­nec­tions in their rela­tion­ship.

    At a bus sta­tion, they encounter a notice­board fea­tur­ing a pho­to of Cal­lie Mon­trose, a girl gone miss­ing despite her father being a cop. This prompts Patch to draw par­al­lels to his own expe­ri­ence of being lost. Saint reach­es for his hand, and despite his instinc­tu­al flinch, the moment encap­su­lates their bond amid uncer­tain­ty and the weight of their shared pasts.

    CHAPTER
    62
    The Caul­dron was absence and pres­ence. Dark­ness and … what­ev­er the
    dark­ness had come from.
    But not life. Not joy or light or hope.
    It was per­haps the size of a bath­tub, forged of dark iron, its three legs—
    those three legs the king had ran­sacked those tem­ples to find—crafted like
    creep­ing branch­es cov­ered in thorns.
    I had nev­er seen some­thing so hideous—and allur­ing.
    Mor’s face had drained of col­or. “Hur­ry,” she said to me. “We’ve got a
    few min­utes.”
    Azriel scanned the room, the stairs we’d strode down, the Caul­dron, its
    legs. I made to approach the dais, but he extend­ed an arm into my path.
    “Lis­ten.”
    So we did.
    Not words. But a throb­bing.
    Like blood pulsed through the room. Like the Caul­dron had a heart­beat.
    Like calls to like. I moved toward it. Mor was at my back, but didn’t stop
    me as I stepped up onto the dais.
    Inside the Caul­dron was noth­ing but inky, swirling black.
    Per­haps the entire uni­verse had come from it.
    Azriel and Cass­ian tensed as I laid a hand on the lip. Pain—pain and
    ecsta­sy and pow­er and weak­ness flowed into me. Every­thing that was and
    wasn’t, fire and ice, light and dark, del­uge and drought.
    The map for cre­ation.
    Reel­ing back into myself, I read­ied to read that spell.
    The paper trem­bled as I pulled it from my pock­et. As my fin­gers brushed
    the half of the Book inside.
    Sweet-tongued liar, lady of many faces—
    One hand on half of the Book of Breath­ings, the oth­er on the Caul­dron, I
    took a step out­side myself, a jolt pass­ing through my blood as if I were no
    more than a light­ning rod.
    Yes, you see now, princess of carrion—you see what you must do …
    “Feyre,” Mor mur­mured in warn­ing.
    But my mouth was for­eign, my lips might as well have been as far away
    as Velaris while the Caul­dron and the Book flowed through me,
    com­muning.
    The oth­er one, the Book hissed. Bring the oth­er one … let us be joined,
    let us be free.
    I slid the Book from my pock­et, tuck­ing it into the crook of my arm as I
    tugged the sec­ond half free. Love­ly girl, beau­ti­ful bird—so sweet, so
    gen­er­ous …
    Togeth­er togeth­er togeth­er
    “Feyre.” Mor’s voice cut through the song of both halves.
    Amren had been wrong. Sep­a­rate, their pow­er was cleaved—not enough
    to take on the abyss of the Cauldron’s might. But togeth­er … Yes, togeth­er,
    the spell would work when I spoke it.
    Whole, I would become not a con­duit between them, but rather their
    mas­ter. There was no mov­ing the Cauldron—it had to be now.
    Real­iz­ing what I was about to do, Mor lunged for me with a curse.
    Too slow.
    I laid the sec­ond half of the Book atop the oth­er.
    A silent rip­ple of pow­er hol­lowed out my ears, buck­led my bones.
    Then noth­ing.
    From far away, Mor said, “We can’t risk—”
    “Give her a minute,” Cass­ian cut her off.
    I was the Book and the Caul­dron and sound and silence.
    I was a liv­ing riv­er through which one flowed into the oth­er, eddy­ing and
    ebbing, over and over, a tide with no end or begin­ning.
    The spell—the words—
    I looked to the paper in my hand, but my eyes did not see, my lips did not
    move.

    We Solve Murders by Stephanie Vance is a thrilling mystery that follows a team of skilled investigators as they work together to crack complex, high-stakes cases. With each new investigation, the team uncovers secrets, motives, and twists that keep readers on the edge of their seat. The novel explores themes of teamwork, justice, and the intricacies of solving crimes, offering a compelling look at the pursuit of truth and the consequences of uncovering hidden realities.

    After decades of a tumul­tuous and glam­orous life, Eve­lyn Hugo finds solace in a sta­ble but pas­sion­less mar­riage with Robert. Fol­low­ing Celi­a’s trag­ic pass­ing and the end of her dynam­ic years, Eve­lyn’s life tran­si­tions into a serene rou­tine, cen­tered around phil­an­thropy and her affec­tion for her daugh­ter, Con­nor. The nar­ra­tive nav­i­gates through Eve­lyn’s shift from the lime­light to a more sub­dued exis­tence in Man­hat­tan, along­side Robert, focus­ing on char­i­ta­ble endeav­ors, par­tic­u­lar­ly in sup­port of LGBTQ+ caus­es and lung dis­ease research.

    As the sto­ry unfolds, Con­nor’s pro­fes­sion­al jour­ney is highlighted—her ini­tial suc­cess in finance, her sub­se­quent dis­il­lu­sion­ment, and her dar­ing career switch to teach­ing at Whar­ton. This piv­ot is sup­port­ed qui­et­ly by Robert, show­cas­ing a deep famil­ial bond unmarred by expec­ta­tions or con­di­tion­al pride. Robert’s even­tu­al pass­ing brings Con­nor and her boyfriend, Greg, clos­er to Eve­lyn, under­scor­ing famil­ial sup­port and the com­plex­i­ties of inde­pen­dence and care.

    Eve­lyn’s nar­ra­tive takes a poignant turn with Con­nor’s dev­as­tat­ing can­cer diag­no­sis, unveil­ing the raw, incon­solable grief of a par­ent. Eve­lyn’s reflec­tions on her life’s pur­pose and the pro­found bond with Con­nor are deeply touch­ing. The chap­ter delves into the per­son­al tri­al of watch­ing a beloved child grap­ple with ill­ness, embody­ing the themes of loss, love, and remem­brance. Through her car­ing and advo­ca­cy, Eve­lyn finds a seclud­ed peace in giv­ing, lives rede­fined by char­i­ty and art col­lec­tion, savor­ing the enrich­ing moments with Con­nor.

    Eve­lyn’s life, marked by grandeur, con­tro­ver­sies, and an unwa­ver­ing allure, tran­si­tions to a qui­etude filled with love, reflec­tion, and even­tu­al heart­break over Con­nor’s ill­ness. This chap­ter encap­su­lates the essence of life’s unpre­dictable journey—highlighting the tran­si­tion from a pub­lic fig­ure enveloped in scan­dals to a life of mean­ing­ful sim­plic­i­ty, under­scored by the endur­ing love for her daugh­ter. It’s a poignant reflec­tion on lega­cy, famil­ial bonds, and find­ing solace and mean­ing in life’s lat­ter stages, even as Eve­lyn faces her great­est loss.
