Death at Charity's Point by William G. Tapply
A Brady Coyne Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Open Road

A Boston lawyer investigates a prep school teacher's suspicious suicide …

Brady Coyne never meant to become the private lawyer to New England's upper crust, but after more than a decade working for Florence Gresham and her friends, he has developed a reputation for discretion that the rich cannot resist. He is fond of Mrs. Gresham — unflappable, uncouth, and never tardy with a check — and he has seen her through her husband's suicide and her first son's death in Vietnam. But he has never seen her crack until the day her second son, George, leaps into the sea at jagged Charity's Point.

The authorities call it a suicide, but Mrs. Gresham cannot believe her son, like his father, would take his own life. As Brady digs into the apparently blemish-free past of this upper-class prep school history teacher, he finds dark secrets. George Gresham may not have been suicidal, but that doesn't mean he wasn't in trouble.

Bait & Switch by Jerusha Jones
A Mayfield Mystery
Publisher: Jerusha Jones
Publication Date: January 31, 2014
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/02/14 12:30 PM ET)

When Nora Sheldon's husband is kidnapped while they're on their honeymoon, all her hopes and plans tumble into a nightmare. Then the FBI comes knocking. Turns out Nora doesn't know her husband as well as she thought she did, and the feds are equally anxious about Skip's fate.

Is Skip Sheldon a con man or some kind of Robin Hood or simply misunderstood? And if he really loved her, why did he drag her into this mess?

She'd interrogate and then throttle him herself (and save his kidnappers the trouble) if she could — but she's not so sure he's still alive to bear the brunt of her worry.

Nora and her stalwart executive assistant, Clarice, seek refuge on one of Skip's properties — an abandoned poor farm on the edge of the Dark Divide in Washington State — to wait for a ransom call and entertain obnoxious FBI agents.

Can Nora wriggle through the maze of Skip's accounts and questionable acquaintances before she falls under suspicion herself? And for what crimes, exactly? She wishes she knew.

Ghost in Trouble by Carolyn Hart
A Bailey Ruth Raeburn Mystery (3rd in series)
Publisher: HarperCollins

When Bailey Ruth Raeburn passed over into the great beyond, she was delighted to discover her sleuthing days would last an eternity. Joining Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, she uses her unique advantages as a ghost — sometimes you see her, sometimes you don't — to help those in need and ensure the wicked get their just deserts.

However, on this latest mission, Bailey Ruth finds it more difficult than ever to keep up with her boss Wiggins's rules for good spirit deportment. Not only is the woman she is supposed to save determined to thwart Bailey Ruth's good intentions at every turn, she just so happens to be one of Bailey Ruth's oldest enemies. Not that that should matter to one of Heaven's best and brightest emissaries, but still, there is only so much a person can put up with — living or dead.

But solving Bailey Ruth's toughest case yet means managing a recalcitrant charge, a fraudulent medium, a mother's heartbreak, old passions and new, and a telltale rawhide dog bone. Heaven help her!

Trojan Gold by Elizabeth Peters
A Vicky Bliss Mystery (4th in series)
Publisher: HarperCollins

A picture is worth a thousand words …

But the photograph art historian Vicky Bliss has just received gives rise to a thousand questions instead. A quick glance at the blood-stained envelope is all the proof she needs that something is horribly wrong.

The picture itself is familiar: a woman adorned in the gold of Troy. Yet this isn't the famous photograph of Frau Schliemann — no, this picture is contemporary. The gold, as Vicky and her fellow academics know, disappeared at the end of World War II.

Now this circle of experts is gathered for a festive Bavarian Christmas. All of them — including the mysterious John Smythe and a very determined killer …

Bad Boy by Peter Robinson
An Alan Banks Mystery (19th in series)
Publisher: HarperCollins

A distraught woman arrives at the Eastvale police station desperate to speak to Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. But since Banks is away on holiday, his partner, Annie Cabbot, steps in. The woman tells Annie that she's found a loaded gun hidden in the bedroom of her daughter, Erin — a punishable offense under English law. When an armed response team breaks into the house to retrieve the weapon, the seemingly straightforward procedure quickly spirals out of control.

But trouble is only beginning for Annie, the Eastvale force, and Banks, and this time, the fallout may finally do the iconoclastic inspector in. For it turns out that Erin's best friend and roommate is none other than Tracy Banks, the DCI's daughter, who was last seen racing off to warn the owner of the gun, a very bad boy indeed.

Thrust into a complicated and dangerous case intertwining the personal and the professional as never before, Annie and Banks — a bit of a bad boy himself — must risk everything to outsmart a smooth and devious psychopath. Both Annie and Banks understand that it's not just his career hanging in the balance, it's also his daughter's life.
