A Pinch of Poison by Alyssa Maxwell, New in Bookstores during December 2016

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

A Pinch of Poison by Alyssa Maxwell, a Lady Phoebe Renshaw and Eva Huntford Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Kensington

 

Good deeds build good character, and good character is what the Haverleigh School for Young Ladies is all about. Lady Phoebe — with the tireless assistance of Eva — has organized a luncheon at the school to benefit wounded veterans of the Great War, encouraging the students to participate in the cooking and the baking. But too many cooks do more than spoil the broth — they add up to a recipe for disaster when the school's headmistress, Miss Finch, is poisoned.

The girls at Haverleigh all come from highly respected families, none of whom will countenance their darling daughters being harassed like common criminals by the local police. So Lady Phoebe steps in to handle the wealthy young debutantes with tact and discretion, while Eva cozies up to the staff. Did one of the girls resent the headmistress enough to do her in? Did a teacher bear a grudge? What about the school nurse, clearly shell shocked from her service in the war? No one is above suspicion, not even members of the school's governing body, some of whom objected to Miss Finch's "modern" methods.

But Lady Phoebe and Eva will have to sleuth with great stealth — or the cornered killer may try to teach someone else a lethal lesson.

— A Pinch of Poison by Alyssa Maxwell

The mystery has all the hallmarks of the perfect crime, save for an enigmatic clue: a piece of turquoise lodged in the stomach of the deceased.

The gem leads Pendergast to an abandoned mine on the shore of California's Salton Sea, which in turn propels him on a journey of discovery deep into his own family's sinister past. But Pendergast learns there is more at work than a ghastly episode of family history: he is being stalked by a subtle killer bent on vengeance over an ancient transgression. And he soon becomes caught in a wickedly clever plot, which leaves him stricken in mind and body, and propels him toward a reckoning beyond anything he could ever have imagined …

All Day and a Night by Alafair Burke

An Ellie Hatcher Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Harper

Price: $1.99 (as of 12/30/2016 at 6:00 PM ET).

  

A new murder case with ties to a convicted serial killer leads Detective Ellie Hatcher into a twisting investigation with explosive and deadly results …

When pyschotherapist Helen Brunswick is murdered in her Park Slope office, the entire city suspects her estranged husband — until the District Attorney's office receives an anonymous letter. The letter's author knows a chilling detail that police have kept secret: the victim's bones were broken after she was killed. Her injuries were eerily similar to the signature used twenty years earlier by Anthony Amaro, a serial killer serving a life sentence for his crimes. Now, Amaro is asking to be released from prison, arguing that he was wrongly convicted, and that the true killer is still on the loose.

NYPD Detectives Ellie Hatcher and JJ Rogan are tapped as the "fresh look" team to reassess the original investigation that led to Amaro's conviction. The case pits them against both their fellow officers and a hard-charging celebrity defense lawyer with a young associate named Carrie Blank, whose older sister was one of Amaro's victims. As both the NYPD and Amaro's legal team search for certainty in years of conflicting evidence, their investigations take them back to Carrie's hometown and secrets left behind there. And when Carrie falls victim to a brutal attack, Hatcher knows that the young attorney got too close to the truth.

A Davey Goldman Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 12/30/2016 at 4:30 PM ET).

  

Bishop Francis Regan is a busy man. Wheelchair-bound for some time, he is not always the easiest of men to get on with. But then, as the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, he has plenty on his mind …

And on his patch, he has at least one rather turbulent priest. Which is how Bishop Regan has come to be involved in a case of murder. Fortunately, Bishop Regan's assistant is David Goldman, an ex-cop with a host of useful friends, a side-line as a private investigator and an unconventional approach to crime-fighting.

Keen to help his boss, who has a personal and professional interest in this case, Goldman sets about finding the killer. Who would have killed a young teacher in cold blood, leaving the knife sticking from her chest? Surely not a Catholic priest, however misguided? It is Goldman's job to find out, and where his own faculties fail him, David has the razor-sharp brain of Bishop Regan to fall back on.

Together they investigate, despite the local police force, and ultimately gain entry to the closed, self-interested world in which the dead woman lived. Here there is a host of suspects; the greedy, selfish brother and sister-in-law; employees and acolytes desperate to hold onto power and some downright unpleasant individuals. But when Goldman meets the dead woman's best friend, the pace of his investigation picks up and it is not long before the killer is identified. But will that be the end of the matter? It seems likely that there is more to play out before justice can finally be done …

After two decades protecting innocent victims on the run, and a year after getting shot on a job that took a dangerous turn for the worse, Jane McKinnon, née Whitefield, has settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife in Amherst, New York — or so she thinks.

One morning as she comes back from a long run, Jane is met by an unusual sight: all eight clan mothers, the female leaders of the Seneca clans, parked in her driveway in two black cars. A childhood friend of Jane's from the reservation, Jimmy, is wanted by the police for the murder of a local white man. But instead of turning himself in, he's fled, and no one knows where he is hiding out. At the clan mothers' request, Jane retraces a walking trip she and Jimmy took together when they were fourteen in hopes that he has gone the same way again.

But it soon becomes clear that the police aren't the only ones after him. As the chase intensifies, the number of people caught up in this twisted plot multiplies, and Jane is the only one who can protect those endangered by it.
