Lie Catchers
Rolynn Anderson
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

Two unsolved murders will tear apart an Alaska fishing town unless a writer and a government agent reveal their secret obsessions.

Treasury agent Parker Browne is working undercover in Petersburg, Alaska to investigate a money scam and a murder. His prime suspect, Liv Hanson, is a freelance writer struggling to save her family's business. Free spirited, full of life, and with a talent for catching liars, she fascinates Parker.

Trying to prove she's a legitimate writer who cares about Petersburg's issues, Liv pens a series of newspaper articles about an old, unsolved murder. When her cold case ties in with Parker's investigation, bullets start to fly.

Parker understands money trails, and Liv knows the town residents. But he gave up on love two years ago, and she trusts no one, especially with her carefully guarded secret. If they mesh their skills to find the killers, will they survive the fallout?

A Deadly Waltz
Sophia Queen
A Victorian Gothic Mystery
Publisher: Sophia Queen

An 18th century castle full of secrets is the setting for murder and forbidden romance …

To escape an arranged marriage to a ruthless madman, Karina Rouelle flees her uncle's home in the night and hides her true identity from society by becoming an undercover spy with an elite, all-female investigative agency. Her first assignment, posing as a governess at Westford castle in order to investigate the suspicious death of the Countess of Westford, quickly becomes complicated when she finds herself attracted to her number one suspect--the dark and mysterious Lord Sebastien Blackwell.

Sebastien Blackwell is a survivor. After his father's bankruptcy, he becomes a self-made man in Victorian England's booming industrial era. Trapped into a loveless marriage, he has survived the shock of his wife's sudden death. But now he must survive rumors and outright accusations that his wife died by his own hands, and that he is indeed the "cursed, dark lord" of Westford castle. Hiring a private agency to investigate the crime and prove his innocence seems like a good idea … until his desire threatens to compromise the case, Karina's life, and his family's dark secret.

The last thing he needs is another woman to complicate his life. That is until he encounters Tara in the precinct’s holding cell.

Unable to drive her home during a blizzard, he has no choice but to bring her to his house. As a temporary guest in his home, Tara and Jeffrey build a relationship they’d both like to make permanent. While enlisting the help of the precinct psychiatrist to restore Tara’s memory, he fears for her safety when threats mount against both their lives. The evil drug czarina and her cadre of corrupt cops will make him pay for nosing around in their business. They’ll start with Tara.

Review: North of Boston by Elisabeth Elo

A Mysterious Review of North of Boston by Elisabeth Elo.

Review summary: There is a lot to like about this suspense thriller. The storyline is a strong one and there are several elements that one suspects may be the key to the solution to the mystery, and yet it isn't clear which are important and which are incidental. A significant drawback: it's written in first-person present, which does the story no favors. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

North of Boston
Elisabeth Elo
Viking (January 2014)

Publisher synopsis: When the fishing boat Pirio is on is rammed by a freighter, she finds herself abandoned in the North Atlantic. Somehow, she survives nearly four hours in the water before being rescued by the Coast Guard. But the boat's owner and her professional fisherman friend, Ned, is not so lucky.

Compelled to look after Noah, the son of the late Ned and her alcoholic prep school friend, Thomasina, Pirio can't shake the lurking suspicion that the boat's sinking — and Ned's death — was no accident. It's a suspicion seconded by her deeply cynical, autocratic Russian father, who tells her that nothing is ever what it seems. Then the navy reaches out to her to participate in research on human survival in dangerously cold temperatures.

With the help of a curious journalist named Russell Parnell, Pirio begins unraveling a lethal plot involving the glacial whaling grounds off Baffin Island. In a narrow inlet in the arctic tundra, Pirio confronts her ultimate challenge: to trust herself.
