Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah, a Hercule Poirot Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

 

With these words, Lady Athelinda Playford — one of the world's most beloved children's authors — springs a surprise on the lawyer entrusted with her will. As guests arrive for a party at her Irish mansion, Lady Playford has decided to cut off her two children without a penny … and leave her vast fortune to someone else: an invalid who has only weeks to live.

Among Lady Playford's visitors are two strangers: the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and Inspector Edward Catchpool of Scotland Yard. Neither knows why he has been invited — until Poirot begins to wonder if Lady Playford expects a murder. But why does she seem so determined to provoke a killer? And why — when the crime is committed despite Poirot's best efforts to stop it — does the identity of the victim make no sense at all?

It turns out the deceased Kris Kringle was a complicated tangle of naughty and nice, with a long list of people who might have wanted him dead. And whoever did the deed wants to make sure that Lilah keeps quiet. Now, Lilah will have to team up with her former fling, Detective Jay Parker, to unwrap the mysteries of a deadly Christmas killer and stay alive long enough to ring in the New Year …

"I trusted you, Caity"

The still of the night is once again shattered by Caitlyn Cahill's recurring nightmare — her brother standing before her, gripping a butcher knife, his eyes black with hatred. Two years ago, the former Washington, D.C., socialite defied her powerful senator father and risked the ruin of her family by helping the FBI link her troubled brother to a string of horrific murders. "The Capital Killer" was sent to prison for life … and Caitlyn's entire world fell apart.

Now, FBI agent Reid Novak is forced to rend the peace Caitlyn has found on a rural Virginia horse farm. A copycat killer is on the loose and slowly toying with Caitlyn — his ultimate target — in a terrorizing cat — and — mouse game. Almost destroyed two years ago by Caitlyn's family, not to mention the Capital Killer's haunting final murder, Reid vows to save the woman he's never forgotten or die trying.

Monty is a struggling, unknown artist, living in a loft in Soho. From his third floor walkup, he watches his beautiful neighbor as she comes and goes. Too shy and reclusive to ask her out, he paints her again and again. Suddenly, the police are at his door. His goddess, his dream woman, is dead, and the police like him for the crime.

Detectives O'Roarke and Garcia sift through the forensics, motives, and physical evidence and, at first glance, it seems all the evidence points to the strange, young artist who is obsessed with the beautiful actress. As the detectives immerse themselves in her life, it turns out the victim has more than one secret.

The Francis Bacon Mysteries, Books 1-3 by Anna Castle, Now Available at a Special Price

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the author …

The Francis Bacon Mysteries by Anna Castle

Books 1-3

Publisher: Anna Castle

Price: $1.99 (as of 09/01/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

Three great historical mysteries in one convenient package! Francis Bacon reluctantly puts down his books to solve crimes in Elizabethan London, aided by Thomas Clarady, a privateer's son who will do anything to climb into the ranks of the gentry — or up to a lady's bedchamber.

In Murder by Misrule, Francis Bacon must catch a killer to regain Queen Elizabeth's favor. He recruits handsome Thomas Clarady to chase witnesses from Whitehall to the London streets, where everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve.

Then in Death by Disputation, Francis Bacon sends Thomas Clarady to Cambridge to spy on radical Puritans. When Tom finds his tutor hanging from the rafters, his first suspect is the volatile poet, Christopher Marlowe. Chased by three lusty women and spurred by the exacting Bacon, Tom risks his very soul to catch the criminals.

It's August, 1588, in The Widows Guild. The Spanish fleet has been chased away, but now someone is turning Catholics into widows, masking the crimes under armada fever. Francis Bacon is charged with the investigation by a widows' guild led by his formidable aunt. He must untangle multiple crimes driven by patriotism, greed, lunacy — or all three.

Something old, something new, something dead …

It's autumn in Santa Fe, and Ellen Rosings is planning her Aunt Nat's wedding at the Wisteria Tearoom. Her progress is derailed by a dead body — yes, another one — that she finds in her aunt's driveway.

The corpse is an artist Ellen saw that morning selling gem-handled knives at the Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market. The detective assigned to the case — not, alas, the handsome, sympathetic Tony Aragón — is looking to Ellen to explain why the body ended up in Nat's driveway. Tony is busy on his own case and can't help.

Soon the dead artist starts appearing in Ellen's dreams, holding the knife that was found beside him. He wasn't stabbed. What does it mean?

Between the dreams, the looming wedding, work pressures and a tenacious case of hiccups, Ellen fears she's unraveling. Then a gem-handled knife is left embedded in Nat's door, and Ellen knows she must solve the artist's death before another crime strikes closer to home.

Read our review of The Trinity Game by Sean Chercover on Mysterious Reviews.

Daniel Byrne is an investigator for the Vatican's secretive Office of the Devil's Advocate — the department that scrutinizes miracle claims. Over ten years and 721 cases, not one miracle he tested has proved true. But case #722 is different; Daniel's estranged uncle, a crooked TV evangelist, has started speaking in tongues — and accurately predicting the future. Daniel knows Reverend Tim Trinity is a con man. Could Trinity also be something more?

The evangelist himself is baffled by his newfound power — and the violent reaction it provokes. After years of scams, he suddenly has the ability to predict everything from natural disasters to sports scores. Now the mob wants him dead for ruining their gambling business, and the Vatican wants him debunked as a false messiah. On the run from assassins, Trinity flees with Daniel's help through the back roads of the Bible Belt to New Orleans, where Trinity plans to deliver a final prophecy so shattering his enemies will do anything to keep him silent.

The Jersey Devil by Hunter Shea

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Pinnacle

Price: $5.99 (as of 09/01/2016 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

Everyone knows the legend of the Jersey Devil. Some believe it is an abomination of nature, a hybrid winged beast from hell that stalks the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey searching for prey. Others believe it is a hoax, a campfire story designed to scare children. But one man knows the truth …

Sixty years ago, Boompa Willet came face to face with the Devil — and lived to tell the tale. Now, the creature's stomping grounds are alive once again with strange sightings, disappearances, and worse. After all these years, Boompa must return to the Barrens, not to prove the legend is real but to wipe it off the face of the earth …

It'll take more than just courage to defeat the Devil. It will take four generations of the Willet clan, a lifetime of survivalist training, and all the firepower they can carry. But timing is critical. A summer music festival has attracted crowds of teenagers. The woods are filled with tender young prey. But this time, the Devil is not alone. The evil has grown into an unholy horde of mutant monstrosities. And hell has come home to New Jersey …
