Although they are retired they use their skills and experiences from their professions as a detective, crime journalist, and accountant, in the search for the murderer.

Just who is the mystery resident and will she prove to be an ally or foe? Will the 'Sage Gardens Sleuths' be able to catch the killer before one of them becomes a victim themselves?

A Liam Mulligan Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Forge Books

Price: $2.99 (as of 02/25/2015 at 6:00 PM ET).

  

Prostitution has been legal in Rhode Island for more than a decade; Liam Mulligan, an old-school investigative reporter at dying Providence newspaper, suspects the governor has been taking payoffs to keep it that way. But this isn't the only story making headlines … a child's severed arm is discovered in a pile of garbage at a pig farm. Then the body of an internet pornographer is found sprawled on the rocks at the base of Newport's famous Cliff Walk.

At first, the killings seem random, but as Mulligan keeps digging into the state's thriving sex business, strange connections emerge. Promised free sex with hookers if he minds his own business — and a beating if he doesn't — Mulligan enlists Thanks-Dad, the newspaper publisher's son, and Attila the Nun, the state's colorful Attorney General, in his quest for the truth. What Mulligan learns will lead him to question his beliefs about sexual morality, shake his tenuous religious faith, and leave him wondering who his real friends are.

It's a cold, snowy December in the upstate New York town of Millers Kill, and newly ordained Clare Fergusson is on thin ice as the first female priest of its small Episcopal church. The ancient regime running the parish covertly demands that she prove herself as a leader. However, her blunt manner, honed by years as an army pilot, is meeting with a chilly reception from some members of her congregation and Chief of Police Russ Van Alystyne, in particular, doesn't know what to make of her, or how to address "a lady priest" for that matter.

The last thing she needs is trouble, but that is exactly what she finds. When a newborn baby is abandoned on the church stairs and a young mother is brutally murdered, Clare has to pick her way through the secrets and silence that shadow that town like the ever-present Adirondack mountains. As the days dwindle down and the attraction between the avowed priest and the married police chief grows, Clare will need all her faith, tenacity, and courage to stand fast against a killer's icy heart.

Ice-cold and unbreakable, Travis Quinn is the HORNET team's hard-ass. No weaknesses. Except, of course, for the accident that not only destroyed his career as a Navy SEAL, but left terrifying blanks in his memory. But Travis remembers everything about Mara Escareno — the curve of her lips, the feel of her body … and how he walked out on her suddenly six weeks ago.

Mara could never resist the dangerously sexy Travis, which is probably how she ended up pregnant and disowned by her family. But before Travis can fully process the news, Mara is kidnapped by his enemies and plunged into the violent, merciless world of human trafficking. They want Travis — and the information locked within his damaged memory — no matter the cost. And now Travis's enemies have discovered his only weakness … Mara.

When a commercial airliner belly-whomps on an abandoned Hawaiian airstrip, four nearly identical black backpacks — including one containing a small fortune in stolen gold and gems — end up in the wrong hands.

Private investigator Noelani B. Lee, hired by an unscrupulous jeweler to find the purloined baubles, soon finds herself matching wits with the scheming courier who lost the rocks and the double-crossing brothers he betrayed. But greed and bedlam ensue as the packs change hands, and Noelani realizes anyone — a coddled college kid, the Pacific Rim's premier foot model and her baseball-player husband, a local restaurateur and her half-Scottish, petty-thieving son — could have the valuable stash.

With help from her gregarious cousin and her own gift for disguise, Noelani sorts through the avarice to find the pilfered jewelry — while she decides what to do about some embarrassing secrets she uncovers along the way.

Hawaiian private eye Noelani Lee is more comfortable catching philandering husbands in the act than solving murders. But when the body of her archrival washes up on a beach in her hometown of Hilo, the police immediately treat her as a suspect. To complicate things, a disgraced reality TV star hires her to finish the job Noelani's nemesis started — figure out who's trying to put her lucrative home-brew operation out of business.

As if learning more than she ever wanted to know about television divas and craft beer wasn't bad enough, things really start brewing when a handsome U.S. Marshal asks Noelani for her help. He's hunting a fugitive Ponzi scheme operator — a man he believes is the lady brewer's husband. But when a second stiff turns bottoms-up in her client's garage, the action comes to a head as Noelani taps three separate cases in an investigation that could drive her to drink.

The Venus Trap by Louise Voss, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

  

Jo Atkins' sixteenth year was disastrous: she lost her dad, was assaulted by a stranger, and then had her heart broken. For the last twenty-five years, she's believed that nothing could ever be as bad again.

She was wrong.

Now, still smarting from her recent divorce, pretty, self-effacing Jo finally gathers the courage to enter the dating scene. She meets Claudio, whom she vaguely remembers from her youth, but after a few dates decides he's creepy and politely tells him "thanks but no thanks".

But Claudio has no intention of letting her go.

Instead of never seeing him again, Jo wakes up sick and terrified, handcuffed to her own bed. She is given a week to prove her love for Claudio — or he will kill her.

Claudio, it turns out, is a man with nothing left to lose.

— The Venus Trap by Louise Voss

Read our review of Christine Falls by Benjamin Black on Mysterious Reviews.

A Dublin pathologist follows the corpse of a mysterious woman into the heart of a conspiracy among the city's high Catholic society …

It's not the dead that seem strange to Quirke. It's the living. One night, after a few drinks at an office party, Quirke shuffles down into the morgue where he works and finds his brother-in-law, Malachy, altering a file he has no business even reading. Odd enough in itself to find Malachy there, but the next morning, when the haze has lifted, it looks an awful lot like his brother-in-law, the esteemed doctor, was in fact tampering with a corpse — and concealing the cause of death.

It turns out the body belonged to a young woman named Christine Falls. And as Quirke reluctantly presses on toward the true facts behind her death, he comes up against some insidious — and very well-guarded — secrets of Dublin's high Catholic society, among them members of his own family.
