In the small coastal town of Oyster Bay, North Carolina, you'll find plenty of characters, ne'er-do-wells, and even a few celebs trying to duck the paparazzi. But when murder joins this curious community, the Bayside Book Writers are there to get the story …

Olivia Limoges is the subject of constant gossip. Ever since she came back to town-a return as mysterious as her departure-Olivia has kept to herself, her dog, and her unfinished novel. With a little cajoling from the eminently charming writer Camden Ford, she agrees to join the Bayside Book Writers, break her writer's block, and even make a few friends …

But when townspeople start turning up dead with haiku poems left by the bodies, anyone with a flair for language is suddenly suspect. And it's up to Olivia to catch the killer before she meets her own surprise ending.

Drugs, that's what, unbeknownst to Eli, and the girl isn't related to Duck at all. Eli owes Duck bigtime for bailing him out once, or he'd never try to save his ass after being played — taken for a drug mule. The bad guy he's up against, Mr. Spoon, is one stone cold killer.

But Eli always has a card or two up his sleeve …

Dying to Live in Palm Beach by Jane Grossman, Amazon Kindle format

For a group of eight close-knit widows living in Palm Beach, life is for celebrating. Spending their time on lavish shopping trips, playing bridge, and exchanging witty barbs over glasses of wine about who might be looking for a new husband, these friends enjoy the good life. That is, until one of them takes the celebration a bit too far.

It all started innocently enough: picking up someone else's credit card by mistake, making a few charges, and hoping Bunny Boardman wouldn't notice. And then doing it again the next week, reasoning away any lingering moral concerns.

But when Bunny does notice, things turn grave fast. The police chalk up the ensuing deaths to natural causes, but the inimitable Flossy Kane suspects it's not that simple — and that they're all in danger. Oxygen tank in tow and with the help of her home health aide, Frances, Flossy is determined to prove the police wrong (and save her own life).

Review: Dante's Dilemma by Lynne Raimondo

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

A Mysterious Review of Dante's Dilemma by Lynne Raimondo. A Mark Angelotti Mystery.

Review summary: With plenty of twists and turns in a legal case that has the series character confused as to what the real motivation may have been behind what he believes is a suspicious murder and wrongful conviction, this is a crisply written, strongly plotted mystery with a gripping moral subplot that is well worth the read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dante's Dilemma

A Mark Angelotti Mystery
Seventh Street Books (August 2015)

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

Publisher synopsis: Blind psychiatrist Mark Angelotti is faced with his most troubling case yet when he is asked to evaluate Rachel Lazarus, the estranged wife of a slain University of Chicago professor.

Months earlier, the professor's body was found stuffed into one of the exhibits at "Scav," the school's world-famous annual scavenger hunt, and — in a feast for the press — missing a vital piece of its anatomy. Though she's confessed to her husband's murder, Rachel is mounting a battered woman's defense.

Forced into helping the prosecution, Mark becomes unsure of his objectivity when his investigation uncovers uncomfortable parallels between Rachel's history and his own. That concern proves well-founded when his damaging admission at trial all but convicts Rachel. Then a tip connects the case to another suspected murder and evidence that Rachel may not be guilty after all. As he plows ahead during a brutal Chicago winter, Mark soon learns he has far more to worry about than treacherous snow and ice: someone will do anything to guarantee that Rachel takes the fall.

When thirty-eight retirees meet a gruesome end at a picnic meant to celebrate their achievements, financial crimes consultant Seamus McCree comes in to uncover the evil behind the botulism murders.

But the deadly picnic outside Chillicothe, Ohio, isn't the only treacherous investigation facing Seamus; he also worms his way into a Cincinnati murder investigation when the victim turns out to be a church friend's fiancé.

While police speculate this killing may have been the mistake of a dyslexic hit man, Seamus uncovers disturbing information of financial chicanery, and by doing so, puts his son in danger and places a target on his own back. Can Seamus bring the truth to light, or will those who have already killed to keep their secrets succeed in silencing a threat once more?

But Caroline can extract very little information from this fiercely defensive man.

She begins to dig a little deeper into her client's past with the assistance of her nephew Daniel. The more they uncover, the more holes seem to appear in Rushton's story. Is it possible that the world's most famous chef isn't all that he appears?

Caroline traces back his roots to a small family-run Italian restaurant, where Rushton was first employed as a young man. Desperate to talk to those acquainted with Rushton, she reaches out to Marco Corvino, the restaurant's manager. But the next day, Corvino is found dead.

Embroiled in a web of lies, power games and murder, can Caroline disentangle the web of deceit and speculation to discover the truth? Or has she bitten off more than she can chew?

Old Gold by Jay Stringer, Amazon Kindle format

Half-gypsy detective Eoin Miller finds people for a living — usually people who would do anything to remain hidden. Ironic considering Eoin has done all he can to lose himself in a downward spiral that has cost him his job, his respect, his wife, and anything else that ever mattered. But he's not inclined to dwell on what he's given up, and Eoin prefers it that way.

Then he meets Mary, a hard-drinking woman on the run who confides that she's stolen a valuable item, one that certain people would kill to get back. The two of them seek a temporary — and incomplete — solace in each other's arms, only for Mary to turn up as a corpse in Eoin's bed the next morning, him asleep on the sofa.

Recalling his father's aversion to authority, Eoin runs from the body, but he hates a mystery and is driven to discover the truth behind Mary's murder, even if it means putting his own life on the line. Before long, Eoin's tangled up in a ferocious turf war that has him playing his former allies and employers — crime lords, drug dealers, cops, and politicians — against each other.
