Justice in June by Barbara Levenson
A Mary Magruder Katz Mystery
Publisher: Oceanview Publishing
We labeled this second mystery in the series "legal chick lit", saying the two primary storylines were "logically handed well and all the various plot threads neatly tied up in the end."
About Justice in June (from the publisher): Miami in June: it's raining, it's pouring, but the life of criminal defense attorney Mary Magruder Katz is anything but boring-especially when she gets caught up in a whirlwind of three different cases.
Judge Liz Maxwell's job, sanity, and reputation are at stake, and she needs Mary to ferret out wrongdoing in Miami's courts. Solving this case won't just mean going out on a limb; it will mean risking life and limb.
Luis Corona, a family friend of Mary's boyfriend, Carlos, needs help with a legal matter that, to Mary's horror, turns out to be a terrorism charge. And this case will leave some catastrophic damage — and unwelcome notoriety — in its wake.
Just when Mary thought things couldn't get worse, Carlos gets in his own nasty legal quandary — one that could cost him everything.
Three cases. One Mary. One torrential downpour of turmoil. Can she weather the storm? Ride out the cold front that settles over her once-hot romance? Salvage what remains of her-and her clients'-reputations? For Mary Magruder Katz, this month's forecast calls for trouble.

Book of Nathan by Curt Weeden and Richard Marek
Publisher: Oceanview Publishing
We called this stand-alone "a delightful blend of mystery, comedy, thriller and more" adding that "readers seeking a diverting and generally entertaining novel will likely appreciate simply being along for the ride."
About Book of Nathan (from the publisher): The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Rick Bullock is about to learn just how true that is. Bullock takes the road less traveled when he quits his job as an advertising executive to become director of a homeless shelter. Trading in a six-figure salary for paltry pay and even less respect? Costly. But helping one man get back on his feet? Priceless.
When Zeus, a mentally challenged gentle giant and longtime shelter resident, is arrested for murdering evangelist Benjamin Kurios, Bullock wants answers. Convinced Zeus is incapable of such a horrific act, Bullock, along with a colorful cadre of characters, sets off on a journey to keep an innocent man off death row.
The trip takes a disturbing detour when the bizarre group stumbles upon a transcript of the Book of Nathan and the discovery attracts the sinister attentions of a Jersey mobster, pro-life and pro-choice groups, and a billionaire used to getting his way.

Fortuna by Michael R. Stevens
Publisher: Oceanview Publishing
In our review of this debut novel, we said, "The premise of Fortuna will certainly appeal to fans of high tech-type thrillers, of which this is arguably one, but others may find the path taken here too circuitous and the outcome too predictable."
About Fortuna (from the publisher): Longing for escape from his mundane existence as a Stanford computer science major, Jason Lind signs up to play Fortuna, an online role-playing game set in Renaissance Florence. From the first, fateful mouse click, Jason tumbles into the vibrant, lush, anonymous world of Fortuna. Swept up in this highly complex, highly addictive game of fame, fortune, and power, Jason quickly transitions from casual gamer to compulsive player. Soon tangled up in a steamy virtual love triangle, Jason becomes obsessed with breaking Fortuna's code of anonymity. But Fortuna is anything but fun and games, and when a sizable debt incurred in the game spills over into reality, Jason is forced to leverage the legacy of his father, a high-tech legend killed in a car accident years before, to pay off the debt. What started as a great escape may only leave Jason trapped, as the game that transported Jason deep into the past exposes a shocking, present-day reality. In the world of Fortuna, it's not how you play the game; it's if you survive.
