Samantha Darling and her honey George are settling happily into married life with only a few bumps in the road … until Sam gets cast in her community theater's production of "The Murderous Rogue," and something goes bump on the stage. Oh no … another murder!

As usual, Sam is more than eager to help solve the mystery, much to the dismay of her husband, the Chief of Detectives. But she knows she can crack the case, especially with her psychic vibes and her trusty canine companion Clancy.

Between the suave leading man, his mousy assistant, the chilly stage manager, and the quirky director, there are suspects aplenty in the company. Through it all, Sam tries to keep herself and her impulses under control, while managing once again to uncover the murderous rogue and bring the curtain down on another deadly mystery.

The repercussions are felt across the American South when a pizza joint in sleepy Lake Castor, Virginia is robbed and the manager, Odie Shanks, is kidnapped. The kidnapping is the talk of the town, but it's what people don't know that threatens to rip asunder societal norms. Odie chases dreams of Hollywood stardom and an explosive social media presence while his partner in crime, Jake Armstrong, pursues his own vengeful agenda.

In the meantime, corrupt and lazy Deputy Roy Rains has a hard-luck time of covering up the crime in order to preserve his way of life.

And college student Melinda Kendall has hit the highway in a stolen ride with nothing but a .22 and limited options, on the run from her drug dealer boyfriend, the Mississippi State Police and the media, trying to escape some bad choices by making even more bad choices.

Publisher: Touchstone

Price: $3.99 (as of 07/13/2016 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

Read our review of Starvation Lake by Bryan Gruley on Mysterious Reviews.

In the dead of a Michigan winter, pieces of a snowmobile wash up near the crumbling, small town of Starvation Lake — the same snowmobile that went down with Starvation's legendary hockey coach years earlier. But everybody knows Coach Blackburn's accident happened five miles away on a different lake. As rumors buzz about mysterious underground tunnels, the evidence from the snowmobile says one thing: murder.

Gus Carpenter, editor of the local newspaper, has recently returned to Starvation after a failed attempt to make it big at the Detroit Times. In his youth, Gus was the goalie who let a state championship get away, crushing Coach's dreams and earning the town's enmity. Now he's investigating the murder of his former coach. But even more unsettling to Gus are the holes in the town's past and the gnawing suspicion that those holes may conceal some dark and disturbing secrets — secrets that some of the people closest to him may have killed to keep.

Is the Riverside Lodge and Kennel cursed?

Daphne Coleman, an expert in Greek and Roman mythology and a first class skeptic, thinks it's just a charade. But when a publicity stunt turns deadly at the Riverside Lodge and Kennel, everyone is getting the heebie-jeebies. And, once again, all are suspects in a murder.

To drum up business for the still faltering Lodge, new owner Jason Henning (and Daphne's long-time crush) has brought in a ghost hunting team to investigate the "haunted" areas of the building, with an unusual combination of high tech gadgetry and plan old-fashioned psychic know-how. He's even invited a local investigative reporter for credibility (and free publicity).

But a brief power outage in the middle of the night's event kills the lights unexpectedly — and more. Renown psychic Diana Swanson is found dead in the middle of the séance circle. And suddenly the Lodge has a real publicity problem.

Once again, Daphne puts her own analytical and creative powers to work as she digs into motives and methods, with zero encouragement from hot shot detective Hector Rine who's hard at work on the case.

Will Daphne's idea for a "spiritual cleansing" by the local pastor put any ghosts to rest? Or just create more havoc? And just who is the murderer?

Price: $1.99 (as of 07/13/2016 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

In the center of historic Edinburgh, builders are preparing to demolish a disused Victorian Gothic building. They are understandably surprised to find skeletal remains hidden in a high pinnacle that hasn't been touched by maintenance for years. Who do the bones belong to, and how did they get there? Could the eccentric British pastime of free climbing the outside of buildings play a role?

Enter cold case detective Karen Pirie, who gets to work trying to establish the corpse's identity. And when it turns out the bones may be from as far away as former Yugoslavia, Karen will need to dig deeper than she ever imagined into the tragic history of the Balkans: to war crimes and their consequences, and ultimately to the notion of what justice is and who serves it.

Shadows on the Ivy by Lea Wait

An Antique Print Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Scribner

Price: $3.99 (as of 07/13/2016 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Maggie Summer has three loves: her antique print business, Shadows; her career as a community college professor in Somerset County, New Jersey; and the new man in her life, Will Brewer. Her biological clock is pushing her to decide whether she's ready to add a fourth love: an adopted child. Although Will is on the road just now, Maggie's life is full. She uses prints by Currier & Ives, Thomas Nast, and William Ludwell Sheppard to illustrate her lectures on American cultural history, and Oliver and Dorothy Whitcomb, a wealthy couple who are on the college board, are two of her best customers.

When the Whitcombs design and dedicate a special dormitory for single parents and their children, Maggie is thrilled to become the faculty adviser to the young parents. Her new assignment gives her plenty of time to think about what single parenthood would mean for her. Plenty of time — until one of the young mothers is poisoned, and the web of danger at the dorm threatens to encircle Maggie.

There is a killer on campus. Is it an outsider or someone Maggie knows and trusts? Does someone want to destroy Whitcomb House or the college? And is Maggie in as much danger as her students?

As always, Maggie finds the answers to her questions in the antique prints she knows and loves. And this time, torn between her own needs and those of her students, the most important discoveries Maggie makes are about herself.

A young man well known in their small town of Hardys Walk, Texas, Bo seems fine, even if Lauren's intuition says otherwise. Since the accident two years ago that left her brain in a fragile state, she can't trust her own instincts — and neither can her family. Then Bo vanishes, and as the search for him ensues, the police question whether she's responsible. Lauren is terrified, not of what she remembers but of what she doesn't.

Unable to trust herself and unwilling to trust anyone else, Lauren begins her own investigation into the mystery of Bo's disappearance.
