New Year, Screw You — Clare Kauter

Charlie Davies is back, and she's bored.

Not only has she not worked a case in months, but now that she's on holidays her friends are dragging her along to a self improvement class to get ready for the new year. Early mornings, yoga, health food… Basically a total nightmare.

Plus her, uh, ‘friend' Adam has been away from town for six months without sending so much as a text message her way, and Charlie's beginning to wonder why he's so studiously avoiding her.

When a man is found dead at the yoga studio during Charlie's personal growth class, she's thrilled. Finally! A dead body! A dream come true! Teaming up with her friend Eli, she sets about finding the culprit, although it would be a lot easier if her cop boyfriend would help. Unfortunately he doesn't seem so keen on Charlie chasing after yet another murderer.

And when Adam returns to town, things start to get a little… complicated.

Charlie might have trouble sticking to some of her resolutions this year.
