Officer Next Door, A Lock and Key Novel of Suspense by Ranae Rose, Now Available at a Special Price

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 author …

Officer Next Door by Ranae Rose

A Lock and Key Novel of Suspense (1st in series)

Publisher: Ranae Rose

Price: 99¢ (as of 11/08/2015 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

How can anyone resist temptation when it's right next door?

Riley County North Carolina has a lot to offer: coastal views as far as the eye can see, and men in uniform who are even more gorgeous. Home to the most notorious prison in the state, Alicia's new hometown is crawling with men who carry their own handcuffs and know how to use them — like Officer Liam Alexander, her one and only neighbor. After catching him out of uniform, she can't resist pausing to enjoy the show. When Liam's Southern charm drives him across the property line, life gets hotter than the Carolina summer could possibly account for. Unfortunately, there's a dark side to life in the coastal haven, even with an officer next door.

Coordinating special events at a historic — and supposedly haunted — plantation is enough to have Alicia questioning her senses and her sanity, but the spirits of the past take a backseat to a pair of escaped convicts who blaze a trail of mayhem across Riley County. Not even the most intense chemistry can survive the perils that make a sunny seaside town a dangerous place to be after dark … can it?

Review: The Scent of Secrets by Jane Thynne

A Mysterious Review of The Scent of Secrets by Jane Thynne. A Clara Vine Mystery.

Review summary: With detailed descriptions of the settings creating a strong backdrop to the action in late 1930s Germany, and a solid cast of fictional and historical characters, this is a remarkable novel, most especially for fans of historical fiction but also for those who enjoy a well-structured and executed mystery. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

The Scent of Secrets
Jane Thynne
A Clara Vine Mystery
Ballantine (September 2015)

Publisher synopsis: The colorful, lively streets of Paris come as a welcome relief to Clara Vine after the dour countenance of Berlin, where bunkers and bomb shelters are being dug, soldiers march the streets in their high boots, and Jewish residents rush to make it home before curfew. Though Clara is in Paris to make a film, her true work is never far from her mind. Approached by a British intelligence officer, Clara is initially confounded by his request: Get close to Eva Braun and glean as much as she can about the Führer's plans and intentions. Clara has already established friendships with several high-ranking Nazi wives, but Eva Braun is another matter altogether. Hitler keeps his "secret" girlfriend obsessively hidden, fiercely guarding their relationship as well as Eva's delicate psychological state.

From the gilded halls of the decadent City of Light to the cobbled, quaint streets of Munich, and even to the chilling, rarefied air of the Berghof, Hitler's private mountaintop retreat, Clara flirts with discovery at every turn — and a dangerous, devious plot unfolds.

Resorting to Murder, A Collection of Holiday Mysteries by Martin Edwards, editor, Now Available at a Special Price

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, Poisoned Pen Press …

Resorting to Murder by Martin Edwards, editor

A Collection of Holiday Mysteries

Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 11/08/2015 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Holidays offer us the luxury of getting away from it all. So, in a different way, do detective stories. This collection of vintage mysteries combines both those pleasures. From a golf course at the English seaside to a pension in Paris, and from a Swiss mountain resort to the cliffs of Normandy, this new selection shows the enjoyable and unexpected ways in which crime writers have used summer holidays as a theme.

These fourteen stories range widely across the golden age of British crime fiction. Stellar names from the past are well represented — Arthur Conan Doyle and G. K. Chesterton, for instance — with classic stories that have won acclaim over the decades. The collection also uncovers a wide range of hidden gems: Anthony Berkeley — whose brilliance with plot had even Agatha Christie in raptures — is represented by a story so (undeservedly) obscure that even the British Library seems not to own a copy. The stories by Phyllis Bentley and Helen Simpson are almost equally rare, despite the success which both writers achieved, while those by H. C. Bailey, Leo Bruce and the little-known Gerald Findler have seldom been reprinted.

Buried Leads by LynDee Walker

A Nichelle Clarke, Headlines in High Heels Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Henery Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 11/08/2015 at 6:00 PM ET).

  

When an Armani-clad corpse turns up in the woods, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke smells a scoop. A little digging, and Nichelle uncovers a web of corruption that stretches all the way to Washington, D.C. Politics. Murder. And a dead lobbyist. It's everything Nichelle's ever dreamed of.

The cops are playing it close, the feds even closer, and Nichelle's afraid her boss will assign the story to the political desk any day. Richmond's new ATF SuperCop makes an arrest before she can say "Louboutin," but Nichelle's gut says he's got the wrong guy.

Her sexy Mafia boss friend warns her off the case, her TV rival is hot on her designer heels, an ambitious copy editor wants her beat, and victims are piling up faster than she can track them down. As Nichelle zeroes in on the truth, it'll take some fancy footwork to nab this headline before the killer nabs her.

Lillian's story is interwoven with that of Nathan, a NYPD officer, who is intrigued by Lillian's disappearance- how can a young woman be gone for two weeks before a Missing Person Report is filed? Local police believe Lillian has voluntarily abandoned a life she didn't like. Lillian's best friend convinces Nathan the authorities are wrong.

With no jurisdiction, no resources, and no witnesses, he is compelled by the pictures of Lillian with her sweet smile and sparkling green eyes to obsessively take up the case. Armed with Lillian's keys and personal information, he spends hours, then days in her home trying to find clues that will lead him to her.

Now Roebuck's a thief and a murderer on the run with nobody to listen to his tall tales but Ellie, a pretty blonde who's looking for excitement. They'll have to keep moving, though, because not only are the cops dangerously close behind, but Ingrahm's cold killer friend, Gipp, is coming after them as well.

Roebuck's going to have to do some pretty fast talking if he and Ellie want to keep breathing. And if he can't lie his way out of this one, he's going to find himself lying in an early grave.

Read our review of Night Kill by Ann Littlewood on Mysterious Reviews.

Iris Oakley, a young zookeeper at Finley Memorial Zoo in Vancouver, Washington, hoped to reconcile with her husband Rick after he promised to quit drinking. At least she did until his body, reeking of alcohol, was discovered lying in the lion exhibit. Paralyzed by a mix of grief and anger at his presumed betrayal, Iris doesn't question his accidental death.

Iris' co-workers are soon convinced that she is unhinged by her loss. But their continued encouragement inspires Iris to investigate Rick's death. He could not have died the way it appears. Searching for the truth, Iris must follow ambiguous clues and sort through unlikely motives.

Meanwhile, Iris must also adjust to losing her beloved job as feline keeper and instead learn to be a bird keeper. The zoo veterinarian respects her skills, but the foreman would far rather she get a job elsewhere — and the senior bird keeper seems to agree.

After Iris survives a series of near-fatal "accidents," she at last understands what happened the night Rick died. Now Iris just has to survive long enough to prove it …

Tenacity by J. S. Law, a Danielle Lewis Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Henry Holt

    

An officer hangs himself in the engine room of naval submarine HMS Tenacity. A woman's murder bears disturbing similarities to an old case. Lieutenant Danielle "Dan" Lewis grasps for the truth before it submerges in the gray waters of the English Channel.

Cramped, claustrophobic, and under strict command, the confines of HMS Tenacity are unwelcoming in the best of circumstances. For Dan, the only female aboard, who must methodically interrogate a tightknit and hostile crew, it's her own special place in hell.

Recently reassigned to the Special Investigation Branch's Kill Team, Dan's hardheaded reputation precedes her. But facing an obstinate ship's company, a commanding officer too eager to close the case, and a constant threat of unfriendly male interest, she learns that under enough pressure everyone has their breaking point.

Tough but vulnerable LAPD homicide detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner Bernie are in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods of Beverly Hills. The family of a billionaire investment broker has gone missing after their maid is savagely murdered. All signs point to the case being a kidnap for ransom, but as Kate investigates, the crime takes on added dimensions when suspicions arise that a serial killer with ties to the missing family may be at work.

Meanwhile, Kate and her new partner, Leo Kingsley, try to unravel a cold case at the request of a nine-year-old girl whose parents were savagely murdered. Add in a TV documentary crew that the department has allowed to follow their every move, and a reporter who will stop at nothing to get her story, and a seemingly unsolvable case only gets more complicated.

Kate's personal life also takes on added complications when she follows clues that tie the death of the man who raised her to the possible murder of one of the most high profile actresses in Hollywood history. Meanwhile, her best friends Natalie and Mo complicate matters by inserting themselves in both her cases and her life.

Justified: The Complete Series is Today's Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day!

Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day is Justified: The Complete Series, available for just $49.99 (67% off) today only. The Blu-ray version is also discounted to $74.99 (65% off). (These prices are effective Sunday, November 8th, 2015 only!)

For six electrifying seasons, no crime series proved more combustible than the Peabody Award-winning Justified. At the explosive center of the action, Western-style, gun-slinging U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) confronts murder, drugs, bank heists, mobsters, crime families, corrupt politicians and even his own tumultuous past — and never backs down. His ultimate adversary is the cunning, complex outlaw Boyd Crowder (Walter Goggins), but the real wild card is Ava Crowder (Joelle Carter), the mysterious woman torn between the two men and both sides of the law.

Based on legendary author Elmore Leonard's crime novella "Fire in the Hole," it all leads to a perfectly unexpected final showdown.
