Determined to overcome a difficult past, Erica Hathaway learns early on how to make it on her own. Days after her college graduation she finds herself face to face with a panel of investors who will make or break her fledgling startup. The only thing she didn't prepare for was going weak in the knees over an arrogant and gorgeous investor who's seemingly determined to derail her presentation.

Billionaire and rumored hacker Blake Landon has already made his fortune in software, and he's used to getting what he wants with very little resistance. Captivated by Erica's drive and unassuming beauty, he's wanted nothing more since she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her over, he breaks down her defenses and fights for her trust, even if that means sacrificing a level of control he's grown accustomed to.

But when Blake uncovers a dark secret from Erica's past, he threatens not just her trust, but the life she's fought so hard to create.

Mind's Eye by Douglas E. Richards

A Technothriller

Publisher: Paragon Press

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Mind's Eye by Douglas E. Richards, Amazon Kindle format

When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster — bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head — he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?

As Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights — or bring about its total collapse.

Extrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

One of Dr. Nicholas Black's high-profile clients, a beautiful young soap opera star, has been found dead, taped to a chair at a fully set table … submerged in the lake. Back in L.A., Claire investigated the rich, famous, and the deadly — but she never expected the problems of the privileged to follow her to this sleepy small town. Just as she never imagined crossing the line with her prime suspect …

Immersed in the case, Claire finds herself drawn to the charismatic doctor, spending more and more time in his company — and in his bed. Now, to catch a killer, Claire will have to enter the darkest recesses of the human mind. But is Black leading her there to help her … or luring her ever deeper into a madman's grip?

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus

An Oliver von Bodenstein and Pia Kirchhoff Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Blackstone Audio

Audible Daily Deal Price: $3.95

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus, Amazon Kindle format

The body of 92-two-year-old Jossi Goldberg, Holocaust survivor and American citizen, is found shot to death, execution style, in his house near Frankfurt. A five-digit number is scrawled in blood at the murder scene. The autopsy reveals an old and unsuccessfully covered tattoo on the corpse's arm — a blood type marker once used by Hitler's SS. Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein are faced with a riddle. Was the old man not Jewish after all? Who was he, really?

Two more, similar murders happen — one a wheelchair-bound old lady in a nursing home, the other a man with a cellar filled with Nazi paraphernalia — and slowly the connection between the victims becomes evident: all of them were lifelong friends with Vera Kaltensee, baroness, well-respected philanthropist, and head of an old, rich family that she rules with an iron fist. Pia and Oliver follow the trail, which leads them all the way back to the end of World War II and the area of Poland that then belonged to East Prussia. No one is who they claim to be, and things only begin to make sense when the two investigators realize what the bloody number stands for — and uncover an old diary and an eyewitness who is finally willing to come forward.

Review: Deadly Desires at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of Deadly Desires at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison. A Kat Stanford Mystery.

Review summary: This is a very entertaining, often very humorous, cozy mystery with the many quirky characters displaying their affection or rancor, often both, towards one another in a manner that is generally more genial than not. The nicely plotted storyline makes for a fine, amusing, and enjoyable summer read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Minotaur Books (May 2015)

Available from Amazon.comAvailable from Barnes & NobleAvailable from iTunesAvailable from Kobo

Publisher synopsis: When the body of a transport minister is discovered in the grounds on Honeychurch Hall, suspicion about his unusual demise naturally falls on the folks in the village. After all, who could possibly want a high-speed train line built in their front yard?

News of the murder soon reaches Kat Stanford's nemesis Trudy Wynne. A ruthless tabloid journalist and the ex-wife of Kat's discarded lover, Trudy is out for revenge. She is also interested in exposing — and humiliating — Kat's mother Iris, who is secretly the international bestselling romance writer Krystalle Storm.

As the body count begins to build, Kat becomes inextricably embroiled in the ensuing scandal. Is the minister's death the result of a local vendetta, or could it be connected to her mother's unusual (to say the least) past?

Holy Murder by Rodney Hobson, Amazon Kindle format

Detective Inspector Paul Amos is just about to head off on his annual holiday when he gets an urgent phone call from Sir Robert Fletcher, the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire police. A man has been killed in what appears to be an abseiling accident at St Botolph's Church in Lincolnshire. When Amos arrives on the scene it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident — Simeon's ropes had been cut on purpose. Simeon was a local hero, rescuing the farmers from ruin, and loved by all. And most of the village had turned up to see their "celebrity" scale the church wall. So why would anyone want him dead?

As Amos delves deeper into the case, cracks in the story soon begin to appear. Was Simeon really the benevolent philanthropist he claimed to be? Or was he more of a sinner than a saint?

Publisher: Putnam

Brush Back by Sara Paretsky, Amazon Kindle formatBrush Back by Sara Paretsky, Nook formatBrush Back by Sara Paretsky, iTune iBook formatBrush Back by Sara Paretsky, Kobo format

No one would accuse V. I. Warshawski of backing down from a fight, but there are a few she'd be happy to avoid. High on that list is tangling with Chicago political bosses. Yet that's precisely what she ends up doing when she responds to Frank Guzzo's plea for help.

For six stormy weeks back in high school, V.I. thought she was in love with Frank. He broke up with her, she went off to college, he started driving trucks for Bagby Haulage. She forgot about him until the day his mother was convicted of bludgeoning his kid sister, Annie, to death. Stella Guzzo was an angry, uncooperative prisoner and did a full twenty-five years for her daughter's murder.

Newly released from prison, Stella is looking for exoneration, so Frank asks V.I. for help. V.I. doesn't want to get involved. Stella hated the Warshawskis, in particular V.I.'s adored mother, Gabriella.

But life has been hard on Frank and on V.I.'s other childhood friends, still stuck on the hardscrabble streets around the dead steel mills, and V.I. agrees to ask a few questions. Those questions lead her straight into the vipers' nest of Illinois politics she's wanted to avoid. When V.I. takes a beating at a youth meeting in her old hood, her main question becomes whether she will live long enough to find answers.

Telemystery News: Updates on Banshee, Lilyhammer, and Longmire

Telemystery, the most complete selection of detective, amateur sleuth, private investigator, and suspense television mystery series now available or coming soon to DVD

A few quick updates on Telemystery series …

Lilyhammer has been canceled after three seasons on Netflix. Co-produced with Norwegian television, the series stars Steve Van Zandt as Frank "The Fixeer" Tagliano, a former mobster who is relocated to Lillehammer (Norway) via a federal witness protection program.

• The Cinemax original series Banshee will end after its fourth season, which is scheduled to premiere in January 2016. Antony Starr stars as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief, who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Pennsylvania, where he continues his criminal activities, even as he's hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier.

• Netflix has announced that the fourth season of Longmire will be available to stream on September 10th. A&E (inexplicably) canceled the high-rated series after three seasons and Netflix promptly picked it up. Based on a character created by crime novelist Craig Johnson, Robert Taylor stars as Walt Longmire, the dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming.
