The Whole Enchilada
Diane Mott Davidson
A Goldy Schulz Mystery
William Morrow

Goldy Schulz knows her food is to die for, but she never expects one of her best friends to actually keel over when she's leaving a birthday party Goldy has catered. At first, everyone assumes that all the fun and excitement of the party, not to mention the rich fare, did her in.

But what looks like a coronary turns out to be a generous serving of cold-blooded murder. And the clever culprit is just getting cooking.

When a colleague — a woman who resembles Goldy — is stabbed, and Goldy is attacked outside her house, it becomes clear that the popular caterer is the main course on a killer menu. With time running out, Goldy must roll up her sleeves, sharpen her knives, and make a meal out of a devious murderer, before that killer can serve her up cold.

Turn To Stone

A Jonathan Stride Novella
Quercus

Driving home to Minnesota one night after a long road trip, Duluth detective Jonathan Stride stops by the small Wisconsin town where his mother is buried to pay a visit to her grave. As he walks through the cemetery, a local sheriff's car pulls up and an officer steps out, pulls out his gun, and takes his own life before Stride even has time to react.

After giving his statement to the police, Stride is asked to unofficially investigate the reason behind the suicide by the officer's young widow — a woman who several years earlier had become famous as the survivor of a horrific kidnapping — and to clear out of town as soon as possible by the sheriff, who is up for reelection.

Against his better instincts, Stride becomes enmeshed in a gruesome and suspenseful search for a local killer who knows things no one alive should know — and who may kill again to keep it that way.

The Unspeakable Things Series
47North

When Quentin Draith wakes up in a private sanatorium, he has no memory of who he is or how he received the injuries riddling his body. All he knows is that he has to get out, away from the drugs being pumped into him and back to the real world to search for answers. His first question: How did his friend Tony's internal organs fill with sand, killing him in a Las Vegas car crash?

After a narrow escape, he tracks down the basic facts: he is an investigator and blogger specializing in the supernatural — which is a good thing, because Quentin's life is getting stranger by the minute. It seems he is one of a special breed, a person with unusual powers. He's also the prime suspect in a string of murders linked by a series of seemingly mundane objects. The deeper he digs and the harder he works to clear his name, the more Quentin realizes that some truths are better off staying buried …

Scream For Me

A Novel of the Night Hunter
Montlake Romance

Nothing is deeper than the desire they can't fight — or deadlier than the evil they can't escape …

They were only supposed to have a professional relationship, but FBI agent Kyle McKenzie has been fantasizing about his sexy partner, Cadence Hollow, from the moment they first met. It takes the darkest case of their careers to finally bring their hidden desire bubbling to the surface. Once they're in each other's arms, though, they swear that nothing short of death will part them. The Night Hunter — a cunning stalker whose four-state, fifteen-year abduction spree began in Paradox, Alabama, with Kyle's sister — may be only too happy to oblige.

In the small town, Kyle must confront the painful past he's been hiding from Cadence. Kyle vows to put the Hunter behind bars … or in the ground. But the one thing that obsesses Kyle more than his sister's grim fate — his furious love for Cadence — is the weapon the Hunter will use to lure his pursuers into the mouth of a murderous trap.

A New MystereBook: Fraudsters by Gordon Hopkins

Here is a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found by sleuthing (as it were) through new or recently reissued titles from independent publishers during March 2014 priced $4.99 or less …

Fraudsters by Gordon Hopkins
A Gil DiMauro Mystery
Publisher: Gordon Hopkins
Publication Date: March 28, 2014
Price: $3.99 (as of 03/30/14 04:30 PM ET)

 "Never trust a cop. That is my number one rule."
 "Didn’t you used to be a cop?" I asked.
 "Damn right. Best there was. I conned a lot of idiots into trusting me and every one of them regretted it."

Gil DiMauro is the best Insurance Investigator there is. He is also the least motivated. He doesn't care if his company loses thousands in bogus insurance claims. He doesn't even care that his boss thinks he's an idiot. The only thing he really cares about escaping Hartford, Connecticut (not to mention his never-say-ex girlfriend) and returning to his home town of San Francisco.

He becomes more motivated when a coworker is murdered and Gil becomes the prime suspect. He swears he never even met the dead woman but the police say otherwise. His investigation leads him to a conspiracy right under his nose, a conspiracy where insurance fraud and murder are just the tip of the iceberg.

The Berkeley Square Affair
Teresa Grant
Series: A Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch Mystery

A stolen treasure may hold the secret to a ghastly crime …

Ensconced in the comfort of their elegant home in London's Berkeley Square, Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch are no longer subject to the perilous life of intrigue they led during the Napoleonic Wars. Once an Intelligence Agent, Malcolm is now a Member of Parliament, and Suzanne is one of the city's most sought-after hostesses. But a late-night visit from a friend who's been robbed may lure them back into the dangerous world they thought they'd left behind.

Playwright Simon Tanner had in his possession what may be a lost version of Hamlet, and the thieves were prepared to kill for it. But the Rannochs suspect there's more at stake than a literary gem — for the play may conceal the identity of a Bonapartist spy — along with secrets that could force Malcolm and Suzanne to abandon their newfound peace and confront their own dark past.

After twenty-four years as sheriff, Walt, along with Deputy Victoria Moretti and lifelong friend Henry Standing Bear, is embroiled in the most volatile and challenging case of his career. He might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 buffalo rifle.
