    A Perilous Conception

    An exciting mystery.

    The 7th in the Ali Reynolds series by J.A. Jance doesn't disappoint.

    Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

    A man goes on the run from the con men whose money he stole.

    Review of Such Wicked Friends

    Review of the third book in the Sandy Reid mystery series.

    Detective Benjamin Kramer's quest to find his long-forgotten Great-uncle Jonathan led him to a secretive attorney in Cincinnati, an esoteric monastic lover, a professional dominatrix, and a murdered temple priestess. Along the way he discovered his family's secret: his mother and her ancestors were Dionysians, members of an ancient, and supposedly defunct, fertility cult that worships Dionysos, the god of wine and ecstasy. From the attractive young monk who teaches him the secrets of Tantric sex to the professional dominatrix who shows him the whip-induced path that leads to visions of gods, Benjamin probes, questions, and discovers a hidden Alliance with immense wealth, power, and influence. When they turn to him to solve the ritualized murder of Chicago's temple prostitute, the verse from the Book of Ezekiel ("And the harlot shall be slain by the sword") is the only clue to the perpetrator. Is it a modern day Salem witch hunt or a Bacchanalian rite gone terribly wrong?

    Plan Bee

    Moraine, Wisconsin's annual Harmony Festival is anything but harmonious for Story Fischer, as a dead body makes an uninvited appearance in the parade-and the person who may be responsible for putting it there starts dating Story's mother...

    Sara is trying to live her life normally but after her friend's near-fatal accident, she is drawn again into mystery with a new mental connection to that friend, Lisa. Then in Charleston the ghosts and secrets start coming up to disrupt the lives of these two women and their families. As they try to unravel these developments, even murder is not outside of the possibilities

    Eric Caine, War on Terror veteran, finds himself wandering the streets of Miami after a car accident that leaves him robbed of his memories. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction until a chance meeting in a bar presents an opportunity for him to begin anew. That opportunity is a new job that relocates him to his homeland of Venezuela. At first, things go well with his new job, but soon his life takes an ominous turn when a catastrophic event threatens the country’s stability. Author Henry Mosquera created a non-stop action thriller filled with layer after layer of conflict that keeps the book moving at breakneck speed; along the way, readers will enjoy plenty of romance, deception, intrigue, fascinating characters, and numerous international thrills. As a native of Venezuela, Mosquera does not settle for typical Latin American stereotypes but “gets it right” in terms of depicting his homeland. "Sleeper’s Run" represents the international crime thriller at its finest.

    When the head of one of the largest investment banking and securities firm in the U.S. is assassinated on Times Square in the middle of New York City’s annual Festival of the Dead, Homicide Detective Louis Martelli begins an investigation that not only will lead to death and intrigue, but also reveal shocking connections between Wall Street and international terrorism. Martelli and NYPD Information Specialist Missy Dugan soon find themselves attempting to investigate a murder that the FBI wants to shut down even before they can get started. The FBI’s attempted cover-up is just the start. By the end of "House of Cards," written by author Theodore J. Cohen, more crimes will be revealed than even the most cynical person could imagine.

    "Ding Dong the Diva’s Dead," by author Cat Melodia, is a well-paced and utterly charming mystery. Deborah de Lille is an opera singer in the least grand sense. Debbie doesn't foresee a future beyond Handel Messiahs and low-budget tours ... until her agent finagles her a minor role with a small-town company. The artists assembled for this production of Offenbach's spooky opera, Tales of Hoffmann, have more than opera on their minds. The singer Debbie replaced died under suspicious circumstances, and after another minor player bows out suddenly, she is also given her role. Now she has two small roles that no one in their right mind would kill for. So, either someone isn't in their right mind, or the close calls threatening Debbie's safety are all unlucky coincidences.
