Maltravers soon becomes suspicious of Martha's threatening gardener, who seems to be using Martha's death for his own benefit.

Augustus embarks on a quest to find the answers and is convinced they lie with the elderly artists. His informal investigations lead him back to the dead founder of the Botallick theatre, Agnes Thorpe. Is there a connection between Agnes's and Martha's death? Or is this all just a coincidence?

There is a deep secret that Augustus is very close to uncovering … but can he prove any of it?

After several harrowing attempts on the young widow's life, the steely Blaine relies on his instincts: Maggie wasn't involved. The only thing she's guilty of stealing is his heart. Risking his life to find Maggie's would-be killers has become more than a job. She and her unborn child could be the future he never imagined for himself. All he has to do is keep her alive.

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

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

The Doll by Taylor Stevens

A Vanessa "Michael" Munroe Thriller (3rd in series)

Publisher: Broadway Books

Price: $1.99 (as of 03/29/2015 at 3:00 PM ET).

  

Haunted by a life of violence and as proficient with languages as she is with knives, Vanessa Michael Munroe, chameleon and hunter, has built her life on a reputation for getting things done — dangerous and often not-quite-legal things. Born to missionary parents in lawless Africa, taken under the tutelage of gunrunners, and tortured by one of the jungle's most brutal men, Munroe was forced to do whatever it took to stay alive.

The ability to survive, fight, adapt, and blend has since taken her across the globe on behalf of corporations, heads of state, and the few private clients who can afford her unique brand of expertise, and these abilities have made her enemies.

On a busy Dallas street, Munroe is kidnapped by an unseen opponent and thrust into an underground world where women and girls are merchandise and a shadowy figure known as The Doll Maker controls her every move. While trusted friends race to unravel where she is and why she was taken, everything pivots on one simple choice: Munroe must use her unique set of skills to deliver a high-profile young woman into the same nightmare that she once endured, or condemn to torture and certain death the one person she loves above all else.

Driven by the violence that has made her what she is, cut off from help, and with attempts to escape predicted and prevented, Munroe will hunt for openings, for solutions, and a way to strike back at a man who holds all the cards. Because only one thing is certain: she cannot save everyone.

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

Killer Gourmet by G. A. McKevett, a Savannah Reid Mystery (20th in series)

Publisher: Kensington

    

When the Moonlight Magnolia gang learns their friends Ryan Stone and John Gibson are planning to open a chic new restaurant, they eagerly offer their input on everything from what dishes to serve to how many calories they should contain. But all Ryan and John can think about is how excited they are to have hired the temperamental but talented chef Baldwin Norwood. Too bad the only thing being sliced and diced in the kitchen is the chef himself …

As Savannah turns her attention from munchies to murder, she quickly realizes the cantankerous chef left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, and any number of people could have whipped up a recipe for revenge. Could the jilted sous chef he stabbed in the back have done the same to him? Perhaps the loyal girlfriend he took for granted was finally fed up. Or maybe the business partner whose career he ruined had an appetite for blood. Savannah has her work cut out for her, and just when she thinks there couldn't be any more suspects, she uncovers a plot more precarious than a perfect soufflé …

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

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

The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen

A Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles Mystery (6th in series)

Publisher: Ballantine Books

Price: $1.99 (as of 03/29/2015 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Read our review of The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen on Mysterious Reviews.

PECCAVI. The Latin word is scrawled in blood at the scene of a young woman's brutal murder: I HAVE SINNED. It's a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity psychiatrist Joyce O'Donnell — Jane's professional nemesis and member of a sinister cabal called the Mephisto Club.

On top of Beacon Hill, the club's acolytes devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark historical data and mysterious religious symbolism, the Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that Satan himself exists among us.

With the grisly appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, it's clear that someone — or something — is indeed prowling the city. The members of the club begin to fear the very subject of their study. Could this maniacal killer be one of their own — or have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity from the darkness?

Delving deep into the most baffling and unusual case of their careers, Maura and Jane embark on a terrifying journey to the very heart of evil, where they encounter a malevolent foe more dangerous than any they have ever faced … one whose work is only just beginning.

Repaying a debt of gratitude becomes costlier than Detective Ray Schiller ever imagined possible. A beautiful friend from his past becomes the prime suspect in her estranged husband's murder. Ray's insistence on her innocence, despite overwhelming evidence, gets him removed from the case for conflict of interest, which leaves the case in the hands of his partner Dick Waverly.

As stubborn as he is loyal, Ray's inability to maintain a hands-off approach to the investigation leads to conflict of a far more personal nature. His involvement and the killer's twisted mindset collide, leading him on a nightmarish race to save everything he holds dear.
