Colton Family Rescue by Justine Davis

Series: The Coltons of Texas

Imprint: Romantic Suspense

  

A brokenhearted cowboy finds his second chance with a single mom under siege …

Being rich and powerful didn't save T. C. Colton from painful betrayal. His beloved Jolie Peters walked out on him for cold, hard cash offered by his controlling mother … or so he believed at the time. Now, with a killer hunting down her young daughter — a witness to a murder — Jolie turns to T.C. to keep them safe.

But trusting her again isn't easy for T.C. at first … although their attraction is still hotter than a Texas summer and he's crazy about little Emma. For a short time in a remote cabin hideout, T.C., Jolie and Emma feel like family, until the killer closes in, threatening every dream they're building together …

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, Open Road …

Sugar and Spite by G. A. McKevett

A Savannah Reid Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Open Road

Price: $1.99 (as of 10/08/2016 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Private detective Savannah Reid isn't your average crime-fighting heroine. Middle-aged and overweight — at least by society's skinny-winnie standards — Savannah has the audacity to love herself anyway. If there's anything the sassy Dixie belle enjoys more than cooking soul-satisfying food for her friends and family, it's nabbing bad guys and plopping them on the scales of Lady Justice. Having relocated to Southern California, this unconventional Georgia peach and the equally eccentric members of her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency live to take a tasty bite out of crime in the sleepy, seaside town of San Carmelita.

Polly Coulter was never one of Savannah Reid's favorite people. So, when Polly dumped Savannah's former cop partner, Dirk, Savannah found it difficult to fake a respectable degree of sorrow for his broken marriage. The wicked witch was gone at last! Whoopee! But now Polly has suddenly reappeared, strutting her sagging stuff, making an unabashed play for Dirk. Savannah is pleased to see that, this time around, Dirk is smart enough to keep his foot out of that particular trap. But her relief is short-lived. Polly is found dead on Dirk's trailer floor, killed with his service revolver. Now Savannah and her detective agency have to find justice for the despicable Polly … and clear Dirk of a first-degree murder rap.

No one knows why the district attorney is gunning for Susan Wilson, but Clint Wolf is determined to find out — even if it'll get him in trouble. While he works to clear Susan's name, his crusade is sidelined when a bar manager is murdered during an apparent armed robbery. The method of operation is eerily similar to those used by the ruthless gang who killed his family, and Clint might soon have to face down the demons from his past to solve the mystery.

Will Clint walk that fine line between good and evil, or will he abandon his principles to settle an old score? Whatever choice he makes, one thing is certain … it'll come at a hefty price.

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

A Hannibal Lecter Thriller (2nd in series)

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $2.99

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname — Buffalo Bill — is stalking women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the FBI Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter — Hannibal the Cannibal — who is kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Dr. Lecter is a former psychiatrist with a grisly history, unusual tastes, and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of this ingenious, masterfully written book and an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.

The Dawn Patrol by Don Winslow

A Crime Novel

Publisher: Blackstone Audio

Audible Daily Deal Price: $3.95

Every morning, Boone Daniels is out with the Dawn Patrol: four men and one woman as single-minded about surfing as he is, or nearly. They have real jobs; Boone works as a P.I. just enough to keep himself in fish tacos and in the water.

But Boone is also obsessed with the unsolved case of a young girl named Rain who was abducted while he was with the San Diego police. He blames himself, just as almost everyone in the department did, for not being able to save her.

Unexpectedly, he finds himself with the chance to make amends, and this new investigation gives him a wilder ride than any he's ever imagined.

Price: 99¢ (as of 10/07/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

Kidnapped. Nearly murdered — twice. Marian Moyer has spent the last few months avoiding any and all drama. Save for that time she decided whether she'd turn up the heat with smoldering James Holden or heart-stopping Mika Andrushkiv.

Unfortunately, Marian's drama-free days are over with the arrival of Hollywood starlet Carmen Suarez. Brought in to model for Food Porn, Carmen's face on the magazine cover will host benefits that, until now, Marian has only dreamt about. If she can just survive Carmen's attitude, that is.

But when Carmen turns up dead and all fingers point to Marian's BFF and business partner, Addison Dawes, Marian is forced to uncover the real truth behind Carmen's death. Of course, what she finds brings several long-buried secrets to the surface — secrets that might have been better left unknown.

Review: Hell Fire by Karin Fossum

A Mysterious Review of Hell Fire by Karin Fossum. An Inspector Konrad Sejer Mystery.

Review summary: There isn't much of a mystery in the latest entry of this series and calling it such seems to be a considerable stretch. The crime is essentially solved by the second chapter, so one might reasonably ask, what was the point of the rest of the book. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Hell Fire
Karin Fossum
An Inspector Konrad Sejer Mystery
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (August 2016)

Publisher synopsis: A gruesome tableau awaits Inspector Konrad Sejer in the oppressive summer heat: a woman and a young boy lay dead in a pool of blood near a dank camper. The details of the deaths of Bonnie Hayden and her five-year-old son Simon are mysterious. There is no sign of robbery or assault. Who would brutally stab a defenseless woman and her child?

Sejer and his fellow investigator Jakob Skarre begin a hunt for the killer that will eventually lead them to a heartbreaking conclusion.

When former investigative reporter Rick Hoffman loses his job, fiancée, and apartment, his only option is to move back into — and renovate — the home of his miserable youth, now empty and in decay since the stroke that put his father in a nursing home.

As Rick starts to pull apart the old house, he makes an electrifying discovery — millions of dollars hidden in the walls. It's enough money to completely transform Rick's life — and everything he thought he knew about his father. Yet the more of his father's hidden past that Rick brings to light, the more dangerous his present becomes. Soon, he finds himself on the run from deadly enemies desperate to keep the past buried, and only solving the mystery of his father — a man who has been unable to communicate, comprehend, or care for himself for almost 20 years — will save Rick … if he can survive long enough to do it.
