Review: For The Dead by Timothy Hallinan

A Mysterious Review of For The Dead by Timothy Hallinan. A Poke Rafferty Mystery.

Review summary: The primary storyline here is a strong one, solidly constructed and well played out. Except for the ending, which while having foundation and is plausible in context seems to lack credibility. On balance, one of the better entries in this series and definitely one that fans of these thrillers will enjoy. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

For The Dead
Timothy Hallinan
A Poke Rafferty Mystery
Soho Crime (November 2014)

Publisher synopsis: Poke Rafferty is happier than he's ever been. He's financially solvent, his family is about to grow larger, and his adopted Thai daughter, Miaow, seems to have settled in at junior high school. All that is endangered when Miaow and her boyfriend, Andrew, buy a stolen iPhone from a shady vendor and discover photographs of two dead police officers on it — disgraced officers, violently murdered to avenge the long-dead. Surrounding the murder investigation is a conspiracy that reaches the highest reaches of Bangkok law enforcement, and perhaps beyond. It soon becomes apparent that Miaow's discovery threatens the entire family — and if that's not enough, in order to survive, they may ultimately have to depend on someone who, in the past, has already betrayed them.

Bury Him Darkly by Roger Ormerod

A Crime Thriller

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 02/05/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

The daughter of a detective, Philipa Lowe finds herself thrown into a mystery that would have challenged even her father. Having sold up her employment agency in New York, Lowe is returning home to England on the QE2. A wealthy woman, she need never work again, but already she is finding herself bored.

Then she meets Bella Fields, better known as the TV star Roma Felucci. Bella's infectious personality and intrusive behaviour leaves Philipa wondering what lies beneath this challenging woman. There is an underlying tension with Bella, which Philipa cannot put her finger on. Is Bella fleeing from something — perhaps her husband, Jay? Or does she feel threatened by what is to face her in England?

Bella declares she is returning to her home town after ten years in the States, merely to see the old house again. This seems innocuous enough, but, if this all there is to it, why is she picked up by the police on disembarking at Southampton? Philipa pursues her to Horseley Green, to find that Bella is wanted for questioning. When she is released, Philipa starts to discover a much more sinister tale. Bella's father disappeared ten years ago, though suspicion surrounded the case. Perhaps he had been killed.

Philipa is about to find out.

Publisher: Stuart R. West

Price: $2.99 (as of 02/05/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).

  

Leon Garber has his reasons for ridding the world of abusive people. Call it justifiable homicide or vigilante integrity. A risky business, sure, but someone needs to take out the trash.

Opportunity comes knocking from Like-Minded Individuals, Inc., a global company fulfilling the needs of people like Leon. LMI's clientele are provided with new identities, security, and even lists of potential "projects." But let's not call it "serial killing." Such a nasty business. For uncouth serial killers, it's a good deal. For Leon, it's a dream come true.

LMI's put a target on Leon's back. He has no idea why. Forced to defend his territory in Kansas, Leon clashes with other Like-Minded Individuals: The Good Samaritan Killer, The Mad Doctor, and Donnie and Marie — a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll, a whole lotta' killing.

LMI, the police, sanctioned hit-men, and a vicious psychopath are after him. Heads are chopped, dropped and swapped as Leon fights for his life and freedom. But nothing will keep Leon from finishing his current project. Nothing. Not even the chance to fall in love with the woman at his day-time job.

Sometimes a killer business idea is just that. Killer.

Raised to kill by her father, a convicted serial killer, Morgan's problems aren't those of the average teen. She wants only one thing: to protect her freedom and not get locked away. So, despite ongoing temptation and a bloody past, Morgan swears off murder.

Seeking to tame her sociopathic instincts, Morgan cons her way into working with security consultants Jenna Galloway and Andre Stone. For their first case, Morgan goes undercover to infiltrate ReNew, a treatment center for troubled teens, to investigate the suicide of a fourteen-year-old girl sent there by her wealthy parents.

While Jenna and Andre search for evidence from the outside, Morgan endures her own worst nightmare posing as an inmate. It isn't long before she discovers that ReNew's unstable patients are the ones who are really in charge — and that some of their psychopathic tendencies rival her own.

Even if Morgan can discover the truth behind the girl's death and escape ReNew alive, what — or who — might be waiting for her on the outside?

By Book or By Crook by Eva Gates, a New 1st in Series Mystery Introducing Lucy

Omnimystery News is pleased to present you with one of this month's new 1st in Series titles, a mystery, thriller or suspense novel that introduces a recurring character (or characters) …

By Book or By Crook by Eva Gates

A Lighthouse Library Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Signet

  

What we know about the character: Lucy is an assistant librarian on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. For more information about her first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.

For ten years Lucy has enjoyed her job poring over rare tomes of literature for the Harvard Library, but she has not enjoyed the demands of her family's social whorl or her sort-of-engagement to the staid son of her father's law partner. But when her ten-year relationship implodes, Lucy realizes that the plot of her life is in need of a serious rewrite.

Calling on her aunt Ellen, Lucy hopes that a little fun in the Outer Banks sun — and some confections from her cousin Josie's bakery — will help clear her head. But her retreat quickly turns into an unexpected opportunity when Aunt Ellen gets her involved in the lighthouse library tucked away on Bodie Island.

Lucy is thrilled to land a librarian job in her favorite place in the world. But when a priceless first edition Jane Austen novel is stolen and the chair of the library board is murdered, Lucy suddenly finds herself ensnared in a real-life mystery — and she's not so sure there's going to be a happy ending …

West Texas gossip paints every story a more interesting shade, especially when a married man goes missing with the local banker's wife and a stolen fortune. Susan Maddox is tired of feeling like an abandoned woman, and even angrier when neighbors act as if she's the one getting away with murder.

Maybe her handsome-as-sin, bad-boy brother-in-law is the smartest choice of ally, especially since she's never been able to forget a star-studded night in his convertible back in high school. But who else can she trust to recover damning evidence from her husband's crashed hard drive? Who else is there to pick up the pieces when intruders set fire to her home, a truck runs her off the road, and a trail of dead men stops her cold?

Crash & Burn by Lisa Gardner, a Tessa Leoni Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Dutton

    

Nicole Frank shouldn't have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero.

Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can't find any trace of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky's husband, Thomas, arrives with a host of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police shouldn't trust anything she says.

Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it a random accident or something more sinister given the woman's lack of family and no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close accident … . In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead.

An Early Wake by Sheila Connolly, A County Cork Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Berkley

  

Pub owner Maura Donovan may have Irish kin, but she doesn't seem to have the luck of the Irish. Who could have foreseen that bringing live music back to Sullivan's Pub would lead to a dead musician?

Summer is ending in County Cork, Ireland, and with it the tourist season. Expat Maura Donovan is determined to keep Sullivan's Pub in the black as the days grow shorter — but how? When she hears that the place was once a hot spot for Irish musicians who'd come play in the back room, she wonders if bringing back live music might be Sullivan's salvation.

As word gets out, legendary musicians begin to appear at the pub, and the first impromptu jam session brings in scores of music lovers. But things hit a sour note when Maura finds a dead musician in the back room the next morning. With a slew of potential suspects, it's going to take more than a pint and a good think to force a murderer to face the music.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Thomas & Mercer …

The Neon Lawyer by Victor Methos

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

Price: $1.99 (as of 02/05/2015 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

This title is one of over 30 mysteries and thrillers included in Amazon's Monthly Deals for $3.99 or Less promotion.

With money and hope in short supply, newly minted attorney Brigham Theodore decides it's time to lower his standards. He joins a seedy fly-by-night firm in Salt Lake City out of desperation. After he loses his first case — a speeding ticket — he's convinced his career is over. But to his shock, his boss hands him a slightly more complex case: capital murder.

Brigham's new client is Amanda Pierce, a lost, exhausted woman who gunned down the man who tortured and killed her six-year-old daughter. A jury may prove sympathetic to her unbearable pain, but the law is no fan of vigilante justice — and neither is Vince Dale, the slick and powerful prosecutor who's never lost a murder case. There's no question that Amanda pulled the trigger — she did it in front of five witnesses. If she pleads guilty, she will avoid a death sentence, but saving her life this way comes with an admission that what she did was wrong. However, if she refuses the "guilty" label, Brigham will have no choice but to fight for his career — and Amanda's life.
