New Yorkers aren't easily intimidated, but someone is doing their best to scare them, badly: why? After two inexplicable high-tech attacks, the city that never sleeps is on edge. Detective Michael Bennett, along with his old pal, the FBI's Emily Parker, have to catch the shadowy criminals who claim responsibility — but they're as good at concealing their identities as they are at wreaking havoc.

In the wake of a shocking assassination, Bennett begins to suspect that these mysterious events are just the prelude to the biggest threat of all. Soon he's racing against the clock, and against the most destructive enemy he's faced yet, to save his beloved city — before everyone's worst nightmare becomes a reality.

No bullet casing, no blood, no body.

The deeper Maddox probes, the more questions arise, revealing a mysterious past that shatters all Rose has ever known. Caught in the crosshairs of escalating danger — and his powerful desire for Rose — Maddox vows to protect her. He'll risk his life to find a desperate enemy who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.

On a cool October morning, Lauren Wilder is shaken when she comes close to striking Bo Laughlin with her car as he's walking along the road's edge. A young man well known in their small town of Hardys Walk, Texas, Bo seems fine, even if Lauren's intuition says otherwise. Since the accident two years ago that left her brain in a fragile state, she can't trust her own instincts — and neither can her family. Then Bo vanishes, and as the search for him ensues, the police question whether she's responsible. Lauren is terrified, not of what she remembers but of what she doesn't.

Unable to trust herself and unwilling to trust anyone else, Lauren begins her own investigation into the mystery of Bo's disappearance. But the truth can prove to be as shocking as any lie, and as Lauren exposes each one, from her family, from her friends, she isn't the only one who will face heart-stopping repercussions.

Captivated by Erica's drive and unassuming beauty, he's wanted nothing more since she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her over, he breaks down her defenses and fights for her trust, even if that means sacrificing a level of control he's grown accustomed to.

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Mind's Eye by Douglas E. Richards, Amazon Kindle format

When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster — bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head — he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?

As Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights — or bring about its total collapse.

Extrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus

An Oliver von Bodenstein and Pia Kirchhoff Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Blackstone Audio

Audible Daily Deal Price: $3.95

The Ice Queen by Nele Neuhaus, Amazon Kindle format

The body of 92-two-year-old Jossi Goldberg, Holocaust survivor and American citizen, is found shot to death, execution style, in his house near Frankfurt. A five-digit number is scrawled in blood at the murder scene. The autopsy reveals an old and unsuccessfully covered tattoo on the corpse's arm — a blood type marker once used by Hitler's SS. Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein are faced with a riddle. Was the old man not Jewish after all? Who was he, really?

Two more, similar murders happen — one a wheelchair-bound old lady in a nursing home, the other a man with a cellar filled with Nazi paraphernalia — and slowly the connection between the victims becomes evident: all of them were lifelong friends with Vera Kaltensee, baroness, well-respected philanthropist, and head of an old, rich family that she rules with an iron fist. Pia and Oliver follow the trail, which leads them all the way back to the end of World War II and the area of Poland that then belonged to East Prussia. No one is who they claim to be, and things only begin to make sense when the two investigators realize what the bloody number stands for — and uncover an old diary and an eyewitness who is finally willing to come forward.

Review: Deadly Desires at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of Deadly Desires at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison. A Kat Stanford Mystery.

Review summary: This is a very entertaining, often very humorous, cozy mystery with the many quirky characters displaying their affection or rancor, often both, towards one another in a manner that is generally more genial than not. The nicely plotted storyline makes for a fine, amusing, and enjoyable summer read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: When the body of a transport minister is discovered in the grounds on Honeychurch Hall, suspicion about his unusual demise naturally falls on the folks in the village. After all, who could possibly want a high-speed train line built in their front yard?

News of the murder soon reaches Kat Stanford's nemesis Trudy Wynne. A ruthless tabloid journalist and the ex-wife of Kat's discarded lover, Trudy is out for revenge. She is also interested in exposing — and humiliating — Kat's mother Iris, who is secretly the international bestselling romance writer Krystalle Storm.

As the body count begins to build, Kat becomes inextricably embroiled in the ensuing scandal. Is the minister's death the result of a local vendetta, or could it be connected to her mother's unusual (to say the least) past?

A Paul Amos, Lincolnshire Mystery

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 07/31/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

Holy Murder by Rodney Hobson, Amazon Kindle format

Detective Inspector Paul Amos is just about to head off on his annual holiday when he gets an urgent phone call from Sir Robert Fletcher, the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire police. A man has been killed in what appears to be an abseiling accident at St Botolph's Church in Lincolnshire. When Amos arrives on the scene it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident — Simeon's ropes had been cut on purpose. Simeon was a local hero, rescuing the farmers from ruin, and loved by all. And most of the village had turned up to see their "celebrity" scale the church wall. So why would anyone want him dead?

As Amos delves deeper into the case, cracks in the story soon begin to appear. Was Simeon really the benevolent philanthropist he claimed to be? Or was he more of a sinner than a saint?
