A Sister Agnes Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 08/02/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

Attractive, stylish, not naturally saintly, Agnes Bourdillon isn't the kind of woman you expect to be a nun. And the expensive girls' boarding school in West Yorkshire where she's been sent to teach is hardly a place in which one would expect to find an art mistress as disturbed as Joanna Baines, discovered by Agnes in the art room, surrounded by black paint and desecrated paintings. Next day, Joanna has disappeared from the school. And the day after that, a twenty-two-year-old gardener, Mark Snaith, is murdered on the moors nearby, his face horribly mutilated.

The death count starts to rise, and Agnes realises that understanding the ties which bind the close knit community outside the school might just be the key to who is behind these awful crimes. But runaway school girls and an appearance from her past continue to complicate Agnes' life.

As she begins to uncover the dark secret that lies beneath the façade of a well respected, local mill owning family, Agnes realises that there's more than meets the eye …

Read our review of Slow Horses by Mick Herron on Mysterious Reviews.

Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up a case in any number of ways — by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse," is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations.

When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself.

Is the victim who he first appears to be? And what's the kidnappers' connection with a disgraced journalist? As the clock ticks on the execution, River finds that everyone has his own agenda.

Method 15/33 by Shannon Kirk

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Oceanview Publishing

Price: $3.99 (as of 08/02/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

Imagine a helpless, pregnant 16-year-old who's just been yanked from the serenity of her home and shoved into a dirty van. Kidnapped … Alone … Terrified.

Now forget her …

Picture instead a pregnant, 16-year-old, manipulative prodigy. She is shoved into a dirty van and, from the first moment of her kidnapping, feels a calm desire for two things: to save her unborn son and to exact merciless revenge.

She is methodical — calculating — scientific in her plotting. A clinical sociopath? Leaving nothing to chance, secure in her timing and practice, she waits — for the perfect moment to strike.

The agents trying to find a kidnapped girl have their own frustrations and desires wrapped into this chilling drama. In the twists of intersecting stories, one is left to ponder. Who is the victim? Who is the aggressor?

Vienna Blood, A Max Liebermann Mystery by Frank Tallis, Now Available at a Special Price

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Random House …

Vienna Blood by Frank Tallis

A Max Liebermann Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Random House

Price: $1.99 (as of 08/02/2015 at 3:00 PM ET).

  

In the grip of a Siberian winter in 1902, a serial killer in Vienna embarks upon a bizarre campaign of murder. Vicious mutilation, a penchant for arcane symbols, and a seemingly random choice of victim are his most distinctive peculiarities. Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt summons a young disciple of Freud — his friend Dr. Max Liebermann — to assist him with the case. The investigation draws them into the sphere of Vienna's secret societies — a murky underworld of German literary scholars, race theorists, and scientists inspired by the new evolutionary theories coming out of England. At first, the killer's mind seems impenetrable — his behaviour and cryptic clues impervious to psychoanalytic interpretation; however, gradually, it becomes apparent that an extraordinary and shocking rationale underlies his actions …

Against this backdrop of mystery and terror, Liebermann struggles with his own demons. The treatment of a patient suffering from paranoia erotica (a delusion of love) and his own fascination with the enigmatic Englishwoman Amelia Lydgate raises doubts concerning the propriety of his imminent marriage. To resolve the dilemma, he must entertain the unthinkable — risking opprobrium and accusations of cowardice.

When authorities in Alaska receive a disturbing call from a teenage girl, their investigation leads them to discover an entire family of researchers dead.

Upon closer investigation, Rush discovers the terrifying truth. The research team has fallen victim to something that seems impossible at first, yet the evidence looks undeniable in the lab. Now the danger may threaten thousands more.

Unfortunately, he's not the only one with knowledge of the looming disaster. The army has cordoned off part of Alaska, and Rush soon finds himself the target of trained killers. Someone suspects Rush of betraying his country. To save countless lives — starting with his own — Rush must uncover the answers hidden in the Arctic. The question is — will he find them in time?

Right after Molly moves in, she finds the body of Allan Winecroft, the highly disliked condo president, in the card-room of her new apartment complex. But Molly's luck turns from bad to worse when the knife in Allan's back proves to be hers and soon finds herself as the prime suspect. Molly must rely on handsome, homicide detective Michael O'Hara to clear her name. And if he can't help her, then she'll just have to find the killer herself. But there is an undeniable chemistry between the two, and Molly soon finds herself giving her heart to Michael O'Hara …
