Liffey's city is greater Los Angeles, his turf the forgotten suburbs, run-down neighbourhoods, and volatile ethnic communities. To the anguish and despair of parents and protectors a city like LA holds lots of places for sons and daughters to hide, or be hidden.

Liffey understands loss. First he lost his job in the aerospace industry, then he lost his wife and daughter. In his unerring ability to track down missing children, however, he has found his true calling.

His newest case takes him deep into Los Angeles' Vietnamese community, where a beautiful young woman, Phuong, has disappeared. But the exotic realities and complex alliances of Little Saigon are not all that Liffey has to contend with as he uncovers the corporate fraud and feuds surrounding plans to develop a new airport at El Toro Marine Base.

The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches
Alan Bradley
Series: Flavia de Luce (6th)

On a spring morning in 1951, eleven-year-old chemist and aspiring detective Flavia de Luce gathers with her family at the railway station, awaiting the return of her long-lost mother, Harriet. Yet upon the train's arrival in the English village of Bishop's Lacey, Flavia is approached by a tall stranger who whispers a cryptic message into her ear. Moments later, he is dead, mysteriously pushed under the train by someone in the crowd. Who was this man, what did his words mean, and why were they intended for Flavia?

Back home at Buckshaw, the de Luces' crumbling estate, Flavia puts her sleuthing skills to the test. Following a trail of clues sparked by the discovery of a reel of film stashed away in the attic, she unravels the deepest secrets of the de Luce clan, involving none other than Winston Churchill himself.

Surrounded by family, friends, and a famous pathologist from the Home Office — and making spectacular use of Harriet's beloved Gipsy Moth plane, Blithe Spirit — Flavia will do anything, even take to the skies, to land a killer.

The Sugar Maple Inn in Wagtail, Virginia, is the country's premiere vacation hot spot for pet owners who can't bear to leave their furry friends behind. But this tourist town smells trouble when a killer goes on the prowl …

Holly Miller's life has gone to the dogs. She has no job, her boyfriend's former flame is sniffing around, and a scruffy but loveable Jack Russell Terrier is scattering crumbs all over her borrowed car. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, a troubling phone call about her grandmother sends her rushing home to the family inn on Wagtail Mountain.

The staff — and a frisky Calico kitten named Twinkletoes — adopts Holly and her new dog on arrival. But someone in this friendly town is bad to the bone. One of the employees at the inn has been killed in a hit-and-run accident — which is looking anything but accidental. Now Holly and her furry companions will have to nose out the murderer before someone else gets muzzled.

Bookish: Gone Girl Ending Changed — Five Alternate Endings

An article last week on Bookish proposes five alternate endings to Gillian Flynn's bestseller Gone Girl, which is now being adapted for film.

Part of what made the book such a success in 2012 was the buzz around that big, game-changing twist halfway through the novel. And there was a fear that readers who had already enjoyed the book — about a seemingly perfect marriage that comes under suspicion when wife Amy goes missing on her fifth anniversary and police begin investigating husband Nick — would be less engaged by director's David Fincher's movie adaptation, since they already know how it ends.

Well, Fincher went ahead and eliminated that dilemma by deciding to completely rewrite the entire third act of the movie. Flynn, who adapted her own novel, took on the challenge of tossing out the third act and taking Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy (Rosamund Pike) to entirely new places.

The article — which includes spoilers for those, who haven't yet read the book — provides a few imagined alternate endings that would, in the opinion of the author, improve the Gone Girl story, in … "Gone Girl Ending Changed — Five Alternate Endings" by Natalie Zutter for Bookish.

A Conversation with Mystery Author Linda O. Johnston

with Linda O. Johnston

We are delighted to welcome mystery author Linda O. Johnston to Omnimystery News today.

Linda is the author of the "Pet Rescue" mysteries — the most recent title is Teacup Turbulence (Berkley Prime Crime; January 2014 mass market paperback and ebook formats) — a spinoff from her "Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter" mysteries, and feature Lauren Vancouver, a determined pet rescuer who runs a no-kill shelter. In this cozy series, "no-kill" refers to pets, not people!

We recently had the chance to chat with the busy author about her books.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: Teacup Turbulence is the fifth mystery in this series. What is it about series characters that appeals to you?

Photo provided courtesy of
Linda O. Johnston

Linda O. Johnston: I like to get to know my characters! That's one reason I enjoy writing mysteries since they focus on one protagonist who always winds up either getting herself or her friends out of trouble. In the Pet Rescue Mysteries, Lauren Vancouver thinks of herself as caring a lot for animals and always being in charge. She winds up rescuing not only dogs and cats but people, too, and she learns especially, as time goes on, that no matter how much she likes to think she can control the world, she has to deal with people and circumstances as they occur. As her environment and expectations change, so does she — but she still solves mysteries, of course.
 
I also write for Harlequin Nocturne and Harlequin Romantic Suspense. They feature a new romance in each book, so when I'm writing in a miniseries, like my Alpha Force Nocturnes about a covert military unit of shapeshifters, I generally feature a hero and/or heroine I've introduced before. That way, I know them, too.

OMN: How do you characterize the mysteries in this series?

LOJ: My Pet Rescue Mysteries are definitely cozies. Lauren is an amateur sleuth. I think it works well for my readers to recognize that Lauren's stories are cozies since it gives her more latitude to try solutions that professionals can't.

OMN: Give us the synopsis of Teacup Turbulence in a tweet.

LOJ: In Teacup Turbulence, a special ad campaign causes a lack of small adoptable dogs in L.A. — and bringing a bunch there by a caravan of planes turns into murder!

OMN: Describe your writing process for us.

LOJ: My process has changed over time. I used to do detailed outlines but now work straight from a synopsis. I usually stick to it, including with respect to the characters I introduce in it, but my creations sometimes like to surprise me and inform me that whoever I thought had dunnit was perfectly innocent, and someone else committed the crime.

OMN: How important is the setting to your books?

LOJ: The Pet Rescue Mysteries are set in Los Angeles, primarily in the San Fernando Valley, which is where I live. I don't necessarily intend for my descriptions to be exact, but I've lived in the area long enough to know that what I say about it tends to be accurate. I find this locale important to the Pet Rescue Mysteries because I know so many people in the L.A. area who really care about pets and want to ensure that homeless ones get new, loving families. It's therefore a good setting to write about.

OMN: How much of your own personal or professional experience have you included in your books?

LOJ: After starting to write the Pet Rescue Mystery series, I began volunteering at a wonderful pet shelter both for research and because I care about the animals. The background of Teacup Turbulence is loosely based on genuine, amazingly wonderful groups of pilots and others who transport homeless pets from areas where they are hard to place to where they can find good homes. That's not to say that either I or the people I interviewed for research have ever stumbled over murders!

OMN: Complete this sentence for us: "I am a mystery author and thus I am also …".

LOJ: … a killer. Fictionally, of course. I'd never hurt another person … unless, of course, they harmed an animal, particularly a dog, right in front of me. And what would I do? Well, I'm a lawyer on hiatus as well as a writer, so I'd use the law as recourse before I'd do anything actually physical. Better yet, I'd add the creeps to one of my books and — what else? — kill them off.

OMN: What are some of your outside interests or hobbies? Do any of these find their way into your books?

LOJ: It won't surprise anyone who reads my books that I'm obsessed with dogs. In fact, my younger Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Mystie is on my lap as I write this, with her head tucked near my shoulder. My Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mysteries starred Mystie's best friend Lexie, another Cavalier. My mysteries all have dogs in them. And, yes, as I mentioned, I do volunteer at a pet shelter in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles — a result of my initial research when I started writing my Pet Rescue Mysteries.

OMN: What's next for you?

LOJ: As I also mentioned before, in addition to my cozy mysteries, I write for two Harlequin series: Harlequin Romantic Suspense and Harlequin Nocturne, which is paranormal romance. I have two Nocturnes coming out in 2014 — both about animals, too: my covert military force of shapeshifters.
 
In addition, I'm delighted to say that I will soon have a new mystery series with Midnight Ink: my superstition mysteries! Watch for the first one in September 2014. And yes, dogs play a starring role in these stories, too.

Linda O. Johnston’s first published fiction appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and won the Robert L. Fish Memorial Award for Best First Mystery Short Story of the year. Since then, Linda has published more short stories and novellas, plus 35 romance and mystery novels, including Harlequin Romantic Suspense as well as the Alpha Force paranormal romance miniseries for Harlequin Nocturne.

Teacup Turbulence
Linda O. Johnston
A Pet Rescue Mystery

Los Angeles animal shelter manager Lauren Vancouver has a soft spot for animals in need — and a keen eye for crime …

Thanks to a savvy ad campaign featuring teacup pups sporting HotPets Bling — a new line of faux jewelry dog collars — small dog adoptions have skyrocketed across the city. So when Lauren discovers a shelter in the Midwest with more toy dogs than it can handle, she arranges a private plane to swoop in and fly the pups back to LA.

But Lauren didn’t count on rescue worker Teresa Kantrim coming along for the ride. Teresa has cared for the dogs since they were found and doesn’t trust anyone from La-La Land to take over the job. Her biting comments clearly haven’t earned Teresa any new friends, but when she turns up murdered, it’s time for Lauren to dig into Teresa’s past and find out who wanted her put down.

A Jammer Davis Thriller
Oceanview Publishing

A top-secret drone crashes in the lawless Horn of Africa. The CIA is prepared to write off the loss, until evidence surfaces that the wreckage of their prized aircraft is hidden in a hangar outside Khartoum's main airport. The hangar is owned by a shady cargo airline that flies ancient DC-3s across Africa and the Middle East. The name of the company does nothing to still concern: FBN-Fly by Night Aviation. The U.S. government must find out what is in the hangar, and when an FBN airplane crashes, the opportunity arises for the National Transportation Safety Board to send an investigator to get to the bottom of things.

Jammer Davis is the NTSB's biggest headache, but also its best solo operator. He goes to Sudan in the name of solving an air crash, but with the true aim of locating the priceless remains of America's latest technological marvel.

As Davis enters this inhospitable world, he finds the two disparate mysteries strangely intertwined. True to his nature, Davis barges ahead. Yet everything he finds takes him in reverse.
