Booked 4 Murder by J. C. Eaton, A Sophie Kimball Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Kensington

  

Never judge a book by its cover …

Sophie "Phee" Kimball is not a cop. She's a divorced, middle-aged mom who works as an account clerk for the police department in a small city in Minnesota. But her retired mother, Harriet Plunkett, is convinced Phee is the only one who can solve the mystery of a cursed book. According to Harriet, four members of her book club have already succumbed to the deadly curse. Harriet insists Phee catch the next plane to her retirement community in Sun City West, Arizona, to investigate.

Is her mother just bored and lonely? She does have a new pet — a long-haired chiweenie (half Chihuahua, half Dachshund) — for company and a host of pals (although that number is admittedly dwindling). Phee is certain that their book club selection isn't cursed, but is somebody really knocking off the ladies? As Phee starts to uncover dark secrets hidden in plain sight under the blazing Arizona sun, she'll need to read between the lines before it's someone else's final chapter …

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during June 2017 is …

Murder Games by James Patterson and Howard Roughan, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Little, Brown

 

The life Dr. Dylan Reinhart saves may be his own …

Dr. Dylan Reinhart wrote the book on criminal behavior. Literally — he's a renowned, bestselling Ivy League expert on the subject. When a copy of his book turns up at a gruesome murder scene — along with a threatening message from the killer — it looks like someone has been taking notes.

Elizabeth Needham is the headstrong and brilliant NYPD Detective in charge of the case who recruits Dylan to help investigate another souvenir left at the scene — a playing card. Another murder, another card — and now Dylan suspects that the cards aren't a signature, they're a deadly hint — pointing directly toward the next victim.

As tabloid headlines about the killer known as "The Dealer" scream from newstands, New York City descends into panic. With the cops at a loss, it's up to Dylan to hunt down a serial killer unlike any the city has ever seen. Only someone with Dylan's expertise can hope to go inside the mind of a criminal and convince The Dealer to lay down his cards. But after thinking like a criminal — could Dylan become one?

The Tell-Tale Tarte by Maya Corrigan, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during June 2017

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during June 2017 …

The Tell-Tale Tarte by Maya Corrigan, A Five-Ingredient Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Kensington

  

It's a cold January in the Chesapeake Bay area, but Cool Down Café manager Val Deniston has plenty to sweat over — like catering a book club event, testing recipes for her Granddad's cookbook, and catching the author of a deadly tale of murder …

The last thing Val needs in her life is an unsolved murder, especially when the victim, an actor famed for impersonating Edgar Allan Poe, happens to be dressed exactly like her Granddad. To keep an eye on Granddad, whose latest job takes him to the home of Rick Usher, a local author inspired by Poe, Val gets herself hired as a cook in Rick's House of Usher. When she discovers the actor wasn't the only one doing an impersonation, separating the innocent from the murderous becomes a real-life horror story.

But Val must decipher a killer's M.O. sooner rather than later … or she can forget about finding poetic justice.
