The Blacklist

Season Three

   

In the third season of this NBC drama FBI Agent Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone) is now a fugitive and on the run with criminal mastermind Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader). With Assistant FBI Director Harold Cooper under investigation, a conflicted Agent Donald Ressler leads the FBI Task Force on a massive manhunt for Liz and Red.

As they struggle to stay one step ahead of their former colleagues, Liz immerses herself into Red's underworld of disreputable contacts and covert operations. Liz is on an unpredictable journey of self-discovery and all the pieces of her life, including her indefinable relationship with Tom, will be drastically challenged as she continues to believe Red holds all the answers.

The Blacklist has been renewed for a 4th season, which is scheduled to premiere on September 22nd, 2016.

Blindspot

Season One

    

Sullivan Stapleton stars as hardened FBI agent Kurt Weller, who is drawn into a complex conspiracy when a mysterious woman (Jaime Alexander) is found in Times Square covered in a series of cryptic tattoos … including his name on her back.

As Weller and his teammates at the FBI — among them, wartime vet Edgar Reed, the secretive Tasha Zapata and Assistant Director Mayfair (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) — begin to investigate Jane Doe's tattoos, they are drawn into a high-stakes underworld that twists and turns through a labyrinth of secrets and revelations — and the information they uncover might ultimately change the world.

With every passing day, Jane unveils a new skill or a hidden talent without understanding its origin, while Weller is drawn deeper into his troubled, complicated relationship with this enigmatic woman. They both strive to make a connection, unaware of the dangerous blindspot that threatens them.

Murdoch Mysteries

Season Nine

  

In Season 9, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) and his wife, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), plan their dream home; Constable Crabtree (Jonny Harris) faces dire consequences for his decisions; and Dr. Emily Grace (Georgina Reilly) experiences a personal crisis. Meanwhile, Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) endures an eccentric houseguest, and a new morgue cleaner turned lab attendant (Mouna Traoré) brings fresh blood to the team.

While battling criminals from serial killers to bank robbers, from the darkest opium dens to the atmosphere of outer space, Murdoch and his friends encounter historical figures like Anne of Green Gables author Lucy Maud Montgomery, temperance advocate Carrie Nation, and American humorist Mark Twain in a special guest appearance by William Shatner.

Silent Witness

Series Three

 

Forensic pathologist Dr. Samantha Ryan (Amanda Burton) risks her career and her life in four murder cases that hinge on grisly but confusing evidence.

Did a Cambridge college professor die of head injuries or suffocation? Did a teenager perish at the hands of her lover or her stalker? Was a farmer s gruesome death an accident or retribution? And how to stop a drugs war if police are selling the drugs?

Adultery, addiction, corruption and revenge cloud the facts, while Sam's personal life threatens her objectivity. Prepare yourself for a twisting, nerve-jangling ride through the powerful third season.

A Conversation with Mystery Author Jennifer David Hesse

We are delighted to welcome author Jennifer David Hesse to Omnimystery News today, courtesy of Great Escapes Book Tours, which is coordinating her current book tour. We encourage you to visit all of the participating host sites; you can find her schedule here.

Jennifer begins a new series with Midsummer Night's Mischief (Kensington; July 2016 mass market paperback and ebook formats) and we recently had the chance to catch up with her to talk more about it.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: Introduce us to your new series lead character. 

Photo provided courtesy of
Jennifer David Hesse

Jennifer David Hesse: Keli Milanni is a twenty-nine-year-old lawyer in a small general practice law firm. She's a modern woman — single, independent, and health-conscious. (She follows a vegan diet.) She's also secretly a Wiccan. Wicca is such an unconventional and often misunderstood religion that Keli is afraid to let anyone know about this aspect of herself. Of course, that brings up some internal conflict which makes for an interesting character to write.

OMN: How would you tweet a summary of Midsummer Night's Mischief?

JDH: This is actually an easy question, because I landed my agent (Rachel Brooks of L. Perkins Agency) through a Twitter contest called #PitMad. Here's the tweet that garnered me an invitation to submit a query letter: "A closet Wiccan, Keli casts a spell to find love. When a client's rare book disappears, she needs more than magic to catch the thief."

OMN: Tell us a more about the setting for the book. How important is it to the series?

JDH: Edindale is a fictional town in Southern Illinois. I picked this region for two reasons: First, I've spent most of my life in Illinois, so I have first-hand knowledge about this part of the country. Second, and more importantly, Southern Illinois is geologically interesting and lends a great atmosphere for mystery stories. Unlike the flat farmlands of Central Illinois, where I grew up, and the urban metropolis of Chicago, where I live now, Southern Illinois has a more intriguing landscape. With its rolling hills, vast forests, caves, canyons, and swamps, it's an ideal place for hiding secrets and hunting clues.

OMN: Was Midsummer Night's Mischief your working title for the book?

JDH: No — It was actually Magic on a Midsummer's Night. It was my agent, Rachel, who suggested I brainstorm other ideas to come up with something that better fit the cozy genre. We wanted to keep the reference to Midsummer Night, since the book takes place around the Wiccan holiday Midsummer, and also because the mystery revolves around the theft of Shakespeare's First Folio. But we also wanted to make sure it sounded like a mystery book. I think the final title is much better than the working title!

OMN: How involved were you with the cover design?

JDH: My editor asked me to send him ideas for the cover. He told me it would be illustrated, but beyond that he was very open as to what we would feature. He asked me to send him specific images or scenes I thought might make for a good cover. My top choice was to feature shadowy figures dancing around a bonfire in the forest, which is pretty much how it ended up. I love the end result!

OMN: What kinds of books did you read when you were young? And do you think any of these influenced how and what you write today?

JDH: Yes, absolutely. I read a lot of mysteries as a child, including every Nancy Drew book I could get my hands on. (In fact, I pretty much wanted to be Nancy Drew!) As I grew up, and continuing on into adulthood, I read many different kinds of books, but I always came back to mysteries. Mysteries are so fun and engaging. Perhaps it was inevitable that I would become a mystery writer.

OMN: What's next for you?

JDH: Right now, the Wiccan Wheel Mysteries are my main focus. I'm promoting Book #1, awaiting the page proofs for Book #2, and drafting Book #3. I do have ideas for future book projects, but this series is really just getting started. So, I'm hoping Keli will stick around for a while!

— ♦ —

Like her main character, Jennifer David Hesse is also a lawyer, an English major, and a vegetarian. Unlike Keli, Jennifer is not a twenty-nine-year old single lady, and she does not practice family law. (Jennifer's legal focus is environmental law.) As a nature-loving, mystery-reading, magic-seeking, daydreaming kinda gal, Jennifer is thrilled to be able to write fun, lighthearted whodunits ~ with a touch of romance & a hint of magic. Born and raised in Central Illinois, Jennifer now makes her home in Chicago with her husband, jazz guitarist Scott Hesse, and their daughter, Sage. When she's not working or writing, Jennifer enjoys yoga, hiking, and movie and pizza night with her family.

For more information about the author, please visit her website at JenniferDavidHesse.com and her author page on Goodreads, or find her on Facebook and Twitter.

Midsummer Night's Mischief by Jennifer David Hesse

A Wiccan Wheel Mystery

Publisher: Kensington

As the Summer Solstice approaches in idyllic Edindale, Illinois, attorney Keli Milanni isn't feeling the magic. She's about to land in a cauldron of hot water at work. Good thing she has her private practice to fall back on — as a Wiccan. She'll just have to summon her inner Goddess and set the world to rights …

Midsummer Eve is meant for gratitude and celebration, but Keli is not in her typically upbeat mood. The family of a recently deceased client is blaming her for the loss of a Shakespearean heirloom worth millions, and Keli's career may be on the line. With both a Renaissance Faire and a literary convention in town, Edindale is rife with suspicious characters, and the intrepid attorney decides to tap into her unique skills to crack the case …

But Keli weaves a tangled web when her investigation brings her up-close and personal with her suspects — including sexy Wes Callahan, her client's grandson. The tattooed bartender could be the man she's been looking for in more ways than one. As the sun sets on the mystical holiday, Keli will need just a touch of the divine to ferret out the real villain and return Edindale, and her heart, to a state of perfect harmony …

The Morning After by Lisa Jackson

A Savannah Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Zebra

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

A woman is frantic as she awakens in a dark, closed space. From above her comes the muffled sound of cruel laughter, followed by the hard splatter of dirt. Pure terror takes over as she realizes she's being buried alive — and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear …

To journalist Nikki Gillette, this disturbing story is a ticket out of small-town Savannah and on to the big time. She's already given the killer a nickname — The Grave Robber — and she's spending every minute dogging tough cop Pierce Reed's investigation, trailing him through Savannah's deep thickets and crumbling cemeteries … even though she's starting to wonder about the secrets he's keeping …

Another body is found. And another. Each gruesome discovery unnerves Nikki a little more … there's something familiar about it, something she should know. Now, as a serial killer pulls her ever deeper into his sick game, she has no idea how close she's getting to the truth — or how deadly it will be …

For the first thirty-three years of my life I had no knowledge of my father, no idea what he looked like, his name, whether he was dead or alive. Then fate brought us together. Then, a year later, he decided to hire me.

Although we had talked for a year, my father was still Gawain Morgan to me, a stranger, not my dad. Would the task of locating Frankie Quinn bring us closer together, or drive us further apart?

Frankie Quinn was a con-man, a life-long villain, a member of my father's old gang. That's right, my father was a villain too, with dodgy contacts, a shady past and sins he preferred to forget. The police wanted Frankie and, if arrested, he faced the prospect of spending his final years in prison. However, he had a trump card, evidence of my father's indiscretions. Frankie was looking to cut a deal with the police, my father was looking for Frankie. They knew that one of them would spend the winter of their days in prison; but who would it be?

Meanwhile, the clock was ticking towards my wedding day. Would I enjoy the happiest day of my life, or be left crying into my champagne?
