Whack Job by Kendel Lynn

An Elliott Lisbon Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Henery Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 03/15/2015 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Elliott Lisbon blends her directorship of the Ballantyne Foundation with her PI-in-Training status by planning parties and performing discreet inquiries for charitable patrons. But when the annual Wonderland Tea Party makes everyone go mad as a hatter, Elli gets pulled into a shooting, a swindle, and the hunt for a Fabergé egg.

From seedy pawn parlors to creepy antique shops, Sea Pine Island's other half prove to be as wacky as the wealthy. Elli falls farther down the rabbit hole and finds a scheming salesman, a possessive paramour, a dead donor — everything but a bottle labeled "Drink Me." As events evolve from curious to crazy, Elli gets lost in the maze and finds herself trapped in a house of cards with a killer.

Price: $4.99 (as of 03/14/2015 at 7:30 PM ET).

  

A tete-a-tete with the wait staff wasn't listed on the menu, but that never stopped Mayor Franklin McArthur from ordering ala carte. Jayne Stanford is just one of the many desserts he's tried to sample. When he turns up dead, after a private party Jayne worked, all the evidence points to Jayne as the murderer. Her life begins to unravel faster than you can say "Order up".

As clumsy as a cowboy on a three day drunk, Jayne has never been the perfect waitress. But her knack for remembering quirky details about the guests she serves has kept her a few tips away from the unemployment line. Now she has to put those skills to use or wind up spending her days waiting tables in prison.

As Jayne embarks on a hunt for the person who set her up she must rely on her best friend, Bailey, to painstakingly piece together the clues. Who was in the black Hummer? Why would someone want to kill a lecherous old fool like the Mayor? What does the key open? Should Jayne take a chance with her heart and trust, Jonas? The closer she gets to the truth, the more determined the killer is to make Jayne the "Catch of the Day."

When the Dust Settles by Jason Foss

A Crime Thriller

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 03/14/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

When the young archaeologist Maddy Crowe is drafted in to work as costume advisor on a major feature film about the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, she soon finds herself in the backbiting company of Hollywood actors — and a long way from her normal, safe world of academia. But things are about to get much worse.

The mood on the set quickly turn sour when an unknown writer arrives, claiming that the director stole his plot. And twenty minutes after he disappears people lie on the floor, bleeding from near-fatal gunshot wounds. The writer is now the police's prime suspect and a massive manhunt is underway. But Maddy Crowe knows something is amiss. Why weren't the high-profile director, production assistants, or actors targeted by the killer?

She can't believe that these two co-workers, a historian and a special effects coordinator, could have been the target of an assassination attempt. It's all too convenient, and nobody's asking the right questions. In an attempt to clear the writer's name, Maddy pairs up with fellow archaeologist and film-adviser, Dr Jeremy Flint to conduct her own private investigation. Marauding through film sets from southern England to the Scottish Highlands, she must use her intuition to figure out who was behind the attack, and who the intended target might have been.

But Maddy is about to find out that some things are better left in the past …

Darkness Knows Me by Chrinda Jones

An Olivia Gates and Will Green Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Wing and a Prayer Publishing

Price: 99¢ (as of 03/14/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

Richard McMann hangs by his arms from the rafters of Red Curtain Club — naked. His ankles are bound together and his throat is cut in what appears to be a gruesome still-life tribute to Christ's crucifixion. There is no blood in spite of the gaping wound to his throat and his entire body is covered by what looks like a fine white powder. The salt granules scattered on the dance floor beneath his feet and the fact that his body faces due east, make his murder different yet similar to the death days earlier in a club a few blocks away.

South Dallas police detective Olivia Gates and British criminal psychologist Dr. Will Green engage in a game of wits with a serial killer who haunts the nightclubs of Deep Ellum, leaving behind ritualistic sacrifices of those people he believes deserving of the act. Is he a raging psychopath, killing just to kill, or is there method behind his madness?

All the Old Knives by Olen Steinhauer, New in Bookstores during March 2015

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during March 2015 is …

All the Old Knives by Olen Steinhauer, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

Six years ago in Vienna, terrorists took over a hundred hostages, and the rescue attempt went terribly wrong. The CIA's Vienna station was witness to this tragedy, gathering intel from its sources during those tense hours, assimilating facts from the ground and from an agent on the inside. So when it all went wrong, the question had to be asked: Had their agent been compromised, and how two of the CIA's case officers in Vienna, Henry Pelham and Celia Harrison, were lovers at the time, and on the night of the hostage crisis Celia decided she'd had enough. She left the agency, married and had children, and is now living an ordinary life in the idyllic town of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Henry is still a case officer in Vienna, and has traveled to California to see her one more time, to relive the past, maybe, or to put it behind him once and for all.

But neither of them can forget that long-ago question: Had their agent been compromised? If so, how? Each also wonders what role tonight's dinner companion might have played in the way the tragedy unfolded six years ago.

— All the Old Knives by Olen Steinhauer
