Review: You Can Trust Me by Sophie McKenzie

A Mysterious Review of You Can Trust Me by Sophie McKenzie.

Review summary: This is a very suspenseful thriller. It's never quite clear where the plot is headed, which only adds to the already high level of tension. Well-defined characters and a solidly crafted plot with plenty of twists and turns make for one terrific read. (Click here for text of full review.)

You Can Trust Me
Sophie McKenzie
(April 2015)

Publisher synopsis: On a quiet, gray, Saturday morning, Livy arrives at her best friend Julia's flat for a lunch date only to find her dead. Though all the evidence supports it, Livy cannot accept the official ruling of suicide; the Julia she remembers was loud, inappropriate, joyful, outrageous and loving, not depressed. The suspicious circumstances cause Livy to dig further, and she is suddenly forced to confront a horrifying possibility: that Julia was murdered, by the same man who killed Livy's sister, Kara, eighteen years ago.

Desperate to understand the tragedies of her past and hold her unraveling life together, Livy throws herself into the search for Kara and Julia's killer, who she now believes is someone close to her family. But if that is true, can she still trust anyone? Damien, the man Julia was secretly dating? Leo, her husband's boss and a close family friend? His son Paul, her husband's best mate since college? Or even Will, her own dear husband, who has betrayed her perhaps one time too many?

And when Livy finally faces her sister's killer, and he traps her with one horrible, impossible choice, she must finally decide: is she strong enough to trust herself?

New This Week: Hard Luck, A Cat Marsala Mystery by Barbara D'Amato

Omnimystery News is pleased to present a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found by sleuthing (as it were) through new or recently reissued titles from independent publishers during July 2015 and priced $4.99 or less …

Hard Luck by Barbara D'Amato

A Cat Marsala Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Speaking Volumes

Price: $4.99 (as of 07/09/2015 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

This is a new ebook edition of a book published in hardcover by Scribner in 1992.

Chicago journalist Cat Marsala has just begun her assignment on the state lottery when murder falls into the picture — literally — as a lottery official takes a leap during the multistate lottery conference.

Suicide … or murder? It's curious to Cat — and to the police — that the guy took his mighty plunge right before his meeting with her. Especially curious since he'd hinted at some great exposé material — such as "misappropriation" of lottery funds.

Cat's investigation into the numbers game is fascinating, educational … and dangerous. Because the money is big, the stakes are sky-high — and a killer is not about to let a nosy free-lance journalist spoil the odds.

— Hard Luck by Barbara D'Amato

See all of the recently reissued titles in the Cat Marsala Series for $4.99 or less each on Kindle.

But not for long.

When a cannon fires at his boat from the nearby ancient Maltese fortress, Sullivan jumps back into action. He won't go down without a fight. Because he knows he can't be beaten. If you're shooting at the Specialist, you'd better make sure you shoot accurately.

The Specialist uses his cunning and paramount military expertise to hunt down those who tried to kill him. He resists arrest by the Maltese police, endeavouring to find and destroy those responsible for this latest vendetta. It won't be easy. When Sullivan learns who is after him, the game takes a thrilling turn. A former Air Force colonel in collaboration with an ex-captain from 'Nam have been selling stolen United States weapons to the Libyans and Colonel Qaddaffi. A man named Warneck wants them found and killed. And when he hears that the Specialist is under attack, he is prepared to arm Sullivan with all the information he needs to take revenge.

Along with his mercenary ally Olliver Tryst, Sullivan engages on a cut-throat adventure that brings him close to death more times than he can count. Caught under the seductive spell of one stunning Rosalita, the Specialist faces his greatest challenge yet.

Assuming their help is no longer needed, Sam and Andy turn their full attention to helping the dog Sam found recover from his injuries. Then they learn that Barry's plane has crashed, and they come to the terrifying realization that Sam was also supposed to have been killed on that plane.

Signal by Patrick Lee, New in Bookstores during July 2015

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

Signal by Patrick Lee, a Sam Dryden Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

Sam Dryden lives quietly in a small coastal town in southern California, buying and fixing up old houses. It's good physical work that he's come to love. But his peaceful life is shattered when he gets a phone call from an old friend in trouble. A phone call that pulls Dryden into the middle of a situation that's as violent as it is baffling.

For FBI agent Marnie Calvert, it all begins at a secluded trailer in the Mojave Desert-the scene of a horrifying crime, but also of an impossible and mysterious act of heroism. At least, it should have been impossible. Determined to learn the truth, what Calvert discovers leads her to Sam Dryden-an ex-Special Forces operative whose ordinary life has suddenly become anything but.

Through their actions, Dryden and Calvert have unknowingly placed themselves in the cross-hairs of a frightening and dangerous enemy, the result of a generations-long conspiracy finally coming to fruition. What these people have is a technology that allows them to affect events before they even happen. How they are planning to use it, however, will result in the death of millions. To defeat them, Dryden will need to do more than think fast-he'll need to think around corners, and face down an enemy that can seize on his mistakes before he even makes them.

Name of the Devil by Andrew Mayne, A Jessica Blackwood Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Bourbon Street Books

  

Jessica Blackwood must channel her past to catch a killer consumed by a desire for revenge …

When a church combusts in rural Appalachia, the bizarre trail of carnage suggests diabolical forces are at work. Charged with explaining the inexplicable, the FBI's Dr. Ailes and Agent Knoll once again turn to the ace up their sleeve: Agent Jessica Blackwood, a former prodigy from a family dynasty of illusionists. After playing a pivotal role in the capture of the Warlock, a seemingly supernatural serial killer, Jessica can no longer ignore the world, and the skills, she left behind. Her talent and experience endow her with a knack for knowing when things are not always as they appear to be, and she soon realizes this explosion is just the first of many crimes.

As the death toll mounts, Jessica discovers the victims share a troubling secret with far-reaching implications that stretch from the hills of West Virginia to cartel-corrupted Mexico to the hallowed halls of the Vatican. Everyone involved in what happened on that horrible night so long ago has tried to bury it — except for one person, who believes that the past can be hidden, but never forgiven. Can Jessica draw on her unique understanding of the power and potential of deception to thwart a murderer determined to avenge the past?
