Prayer for the Dead by James Oswald

Prayer for the Dead by James Oswald, an Anthony McLean Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

Prayer for the Dead by James Oswald, Amazon Kindle format

Detective Inspector Tony McLean is on the case when the search for a missing journalist uncovers the scene of a carefully staged murder. In a sealed chamber, deep in the heart of Gilmerton Cove, a mysterious network of caves and passages sprawling beneath Edinburgh, the body is discovered in a seemingly macabre ritual of purification. But McLean knew the dead man and can't shake off the suspicion that there is far more to this case than meets the eye.

For one thing, the baffling lack of forensics at the crime scene seems impossible. But that's just the first in a series of revelations about this case that seems beyond belief. Teamed with the most unlikely and unwelcome of allies, McLean must track down a killer — driven by the darkest compulsions and who will answer only to a higher power — until it's his own blood on the altar.

Death in Advertising by Laura Bradford, A Tobi Tobias Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Lyrical Underground

Death in Advertising by Laura Bradford, Amazon Kindle format

When Tobi Tobias decided to open her own ad agency, having to moonlight in a pet shop wasn't part of her vision … of course, neither was murder …

Sometimes when opportunity knocks, the door you open leads to a closet. That's certainly the case for Tobi, whose weekends spent cleaning cages in her best friend's pet shop may soon be over. She's just landed her first big break — Zander Closet Company needs a catchy campaign slogan ASAP, and Tobi thinks she's got the right hook to knock 'em dead: "When we're done, even your skeletons will have a place."

But when a real dead body topples out of a showcase closet, she's about to discover there is such a thing as bad publicity. To save her fledgling business and not get killed by the competition, Tobi takes on a new pet project: solving the murder. But with a stressed-out parrot as the only witness to the crime, Tobi will really have to wing it to put the cagey killer behind bars.

Decades later, Megan, now a world-famous photojournalist, has come back to the bayou, looking for cop Dave Robicheaux. It was Dave who found the body of labor leader Jack Flynn. The sight changed the boy, shaped him as a man. And after forty years, Robicheaux is still haunted by the bizarre unsolved slaying.

Now Megan's return has stirred up the ghosts of the long-buried past, igniting a storm of violence that will rip apart lives of blacks and whites in this bayou county. And for a good cop with bad memories, hard desires, and chilling nightmares, the time has come to uncover the truth.

Conspirata by Robert Harris

A Novel of Ancient Rome (2nd in series)

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $2.99

Conspirata by Robert Harris, Amazon Kindle format

Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy.

The stories of these real historical figures — their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes — are all interleaved to form this epic novel. Its narrator is Tiro, a slave who serves as confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets — a dangerous position to be in.

Knight & Culverhouse by Adam Croft, Kobo format

Too Close for Comfort: As the newest murder squad recruit for Mildenheath CID, DS Wendy Knight knows that she will face the unthinkable, but what she does not anticipate is that a sadistic killer may be too close for comfort.

When a known prostitute is found dead, Wendy is assigned to the case. Solving it means that she will have to outwit and outsmart an elusive serial killer. As her investigation unfolds, so too does a sinister plot that will turn her world upside down and make it increasingly difficult to distinguish friend from foe in her tightknit world.

Could the murderer be hiding in plain sight? Will the answers she seeks be more than she can bear?

Guilty as Sin: When seventeen-year-old Danielle Levy goes missing one lunchtime, DS Wendy Knight and DCI Jack Culverhouse believe they have a routine case on their hands.

When a prominent local businessman is found dead in his warehouse, however, the case takes a whole new disturbing turn as Knight and Culverhouse begin to unravel the connections between the two cases which lead to a dark and disturbing secret that will make them question everything they thought they knew.

Jack Be Nimble: A killer is loose on the streets of Mildenheath, and his barbaric crimes seem a little too familiar …

As the body count begins to rise, DS Wendy Knight and DCI Jack Culverhouse start to realise that the killer is emulating the gruesome, grisly murders of the world's most famous and elusive serial killer: Jack the Ripper.

With Culverhouse struggling to come to terms with his ex-wife's dramatic return after she disappeared eight and a half years earlier and Knight trying to cope with the trauma she's suffered following devastating events of two previous cases, the race is on to stop the killer before he completes his final kill and retreats back into the darkness.

They know he's going to kill again, but they don't know where or who his next victim will be. And what's worse, they don't know who he is either …

Everyone needs a vacation, even hardworking, crime-fighting Federal Judges. Looking forward to a quiet week of stunning winter scenery, roaring fires, and warm companionship, Judge Willa Carson and her husband George head north to Pleasant Harbor, Michigan — and slam into murder.

A car stranded in the road. A corpse slumped in the front seat. A gunshot wound to left temple. The scene is surreal, the execution ruthless, the victim far from innocent.

Local authorities want this case put away fast because it's bad for their tourism business. Willa sees what the cops don't, and she is not about to play along to get along.

The rugged, frozen landscape is not her beloved Tampa sunshine and palm trees, but Judge Willa Carson is always on the Hunt for Justice.

After all, he's done this before.

Sure enough, Betty soon lets Roy move into her beautiful home, seemingly blind to the web of lies he's woven around her. But who is Roy, really? Spanning almost a century, this stunning and suspenseful feat of storytelling interweaves the present with the past. As the clock turns back and the years fall away, long-hidden secrets are forced into the light. Some things can never be forgotten. Or forgiven.

Now things have finally settled, and everyone is enjoying the safe haven they've always known and loved. However, when a traumatized girl from a nearby town appears on her doorstep, mystery author Diane Dimbleby is knee-deep in the middle of another whodunit.

Monica Hope doesn't have any enemies that she knows of, so she frantically reaches out to Diane after receiving a macabre package that contains a bejeweled severed finger. Inspector Darrel Crothers is called in and Diane hopes that together, with his experience and her uncanny sleuthing, they can solve this new inquest easily, but only if they work quickly. The inspector is dealing with personal demons of his own — struggling a demanding career with a patient, yet lonely wife — and he's a bit distracted; therefore, Diane calls on a longtime friend for a favor.

The investigation leads Diane to a local jeweler, who helps identify the exquisite ring on the deceased's finger. But a case of mistaken identity catapults the case in a direction Diane never saw coming. Clues are beginning to add up, andso are potential suspects. Can Diane and Darrell catch the killer before they strike again?
