The Bones of You by Debbie Howells

A Psychological Thriller

Publisher: Pinnacle

Price: $2.99 (as of 08/31/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

I have a gardener's inherent belief in the natural order of things. Soft?petalled flowers that go to seed. The resolute passage of the seasons. Swallows that fly thousands of miles to follow the eternal summer.

Children who don't die before their parents.

When Kate receives a phone call with news that Rosie Anderson is missing, she's stunned and disturbed. Rosie is eighteen, the same age as Kate's daughter, and a beautiful, quiet, and kind young woman. Though the locals are optimistic — girls like Rosie don't get into real trouble — Kate's sense of foreboding is confirmed when Rosie is found fatally beaten and stabbed.

Who would kill the perfect daughter, from the perfect family? Yet the more Kate entwines herself with the Andersons — graceful mother Jo, renowned journalist father Neal, watchful younger sister Delphine — the more she is convinced that not everything is as it seems. Anonymous notes arrive, urging Kate to unravel the tangled threads of Rosie's life and death, though she has no idea where they will lead.

The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama, A Cleo Tidwell, Paranormal Mystery by Susan Abel Sullivan, 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, World Weaver Press …

The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama by Susan Abel Sullivan

A Cleo Tidwell, Paranormal Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: World Weaver Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 08/31/2016 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Who knew one gaudy Velvet Elvis could lead to such a heap of haunted trouble?

When Cleo Tidwell said, "I do," for the third time, she had no idea her marriage vows would be tested by a tacky piece of art. But Cleo's not the kind of woman to let a velvet-offense-against-good-taste just hang — oh no, she's on a mission to oust the King. Trouble is, Elvis won't leave the building. And he's attractin' all manner of kooks, fanatics, and looky-loos to Cleo's doorstep, including the entire congregation of the Church of the Blue Suede Shoes.

Everyone wants a piece of the painting, but Cleo's starting to suspect that whatever's haunting the Velvet Elvis wants a piece of her husband. Why else would her hubby trade in his car for a '56 pink Caddy, moonlight as an Elvis impersonator, and develop a sudden hankering for fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Certainly it can't be anything as simple as a mid-life crisis, because Cleo is not getting divorced again — her mother would never let her hear the end of it.

Cleo's life is all shook up by crazies with death threats, psychic warnings "from beyond," kidnapping attempts, invitations to join the Blue Shoe Loonies, and even murder! Cleo's in a fight for her life, her marriage, and the perseverance of good taste everywhere.

The FBI agent in charge of the case is convinced Denny was laundering money for terrorists, but Finn doesn't buy it. Then Denny's secretary turns up dead and he's the chief suspect.

Aided by her sister, Meg, and Meg's teenage stepson with his own secret, Finn uncovers a larger conspiracy that reaches from the White House to Eastern Europe. Friends become enemies, and only by using her wits and training can Finn unravel the scheme, clear Denny's name, and save Meg's family.

And as if that isn't bad enough, his wife is determined to come along to shop for souvenirs and visit previously unknown relatives.

But it isn't long before the cold case that lands on Singh's ample lap turns into a hot potato and he has to outwit Scotland Yard, his wife and London's finest criminals to prevent more frightful executions from occurring on his watch — or indeed, from being added to their number.

Pumpkin Picking with Murder by Auralee Wallace, An Erica Bloom, Otter Lake Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

  

When murder strikes in the Tunnel of Love, Erica Bloom has to rock the boat to catch a killer …

For a small town like Otter Lake, New Hampshire, the annual Fall Festival is a big deal: a Ferris wheel, corn maze, caramel apples and pumpkin pies — even a Tunnel of Love. Back in her hometown, Erica Bloom is trying to enjoy herself, which includes getting better acquainted with Sheriff Grady Forrester. But when a swan boat sails out of the heart-shaped exit of the tunnel with a dead man slumped over a wing, her own romance will have to take a backseat.

Speaking of love affairs, the other passenger in the boat — and only witness to the elderly Mr. Masterson's swan song — is not his wife. It's Erica's beloved and feisty "aunt," Tweety, who quickly becomes the prime suspect. Vowing to clear Tweety, Erica teams up with her sassy BFF and self-appointed security expert Freddie Ng to solve the murder — despite the objections of Grady, who's convinced the amateurs are going overboard in their investigation. And he just may be right. But as Erica and Freddie start to dredge up long-kept small-town secrets, will they heading straight into troubled waters?

The Shattered Tree by Charles Todd, New in Bookstores during August 2016

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during August 2016 is …

The Shattered Tree by Charles Todd, a Bess Crawford Mystery (8th in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

 

At the foot of a tree shattered by shelling and gunfire, stretcher-bearers find an exhausted officer, shivering with cold and a loss of blood from several wounds. The soldier is brought to battlefield nurse Bess Crawford's aid station, where she stabilizes him and treats his injuries before he is sent to a rear hospital. The odd thing is, the officer isn't British — he's French. But in a moment of anger and stress, he shouts at Bess in German.

When Bess reports the incident to Matron, her superior offers a ready explanation. The soldier is from Alsace-Lorraine, a province in the west where the tenuous border between France and Germany has continually shifted through history, most recently in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, won by the Germans. But is the wounded man Alsatian? And if he is, on which side of the war do his sympathies really lie?

Of course, Matron could be right, but Bess remains uneasy — and unconvinced. If he was a French soldier, what was he doing so far from his own lines … and so close to where the Germans are putting up a fierce, last-ditch fight?

When the French officer disappears in Paris, it's up to Bess — a soldier's daughter as well as a nurse — to find out why, even at the risk of her own life.

Person of Interest by Emery Harper

A Celeste Eagan Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Carina Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 08/31/2016 at 12:30 PM ET).

  

Just last week, I was a regular single mom and drama teacher at Peytonville Prep with a semi-normal life. The only real drama I had to deal with involved my football-coach ex and his hussy girlfriend. And maybe deciding if I should take that full-time principal/actress job at the local playhouse.

Everything changed when I discovered my boss hanging in his office. The suicide turned out to be a murder and my ex went suspiciously MIA. I tried to find some answers, but all that got me was labeled a person of interest by the attractively uptight Detective Shaw Muldoon. Not exactly the way I was hoping to interest him, if you know what I mean.

Now my life is plenty exciting, if you count a stint in jail, several attempted break-ins, more dead bodies and the odd exploding car. Did I mention I also have my own personal stalker? It's becoming pretty clear that if I don't unmask the killer soon, my life won't ever be boring again … it will be over.
