Murder on Black Swan Lane by Andrea Penrose, a Wrexford & Sloane Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Kensington

 

In Regency London, an unconventional scientist and a fearless female artist form an unlikely alliance to expose unspeakable evil …

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a church — his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear — and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.

An artist in her own right, Charlotte Sloane has secretly slipped into the persona of her late husband, using his nom de plume A.J. Quill. When Wrexford discovers her true identity, she fears it will be her undoing. But he has a proposal — use her sources to unveil the clergyman's clandestine involvement in questionable scientific practices, and unmask the real murderer. Soon Lord Wrexford and the mysterious Mrs. Sloane plunge into a dangerous shadow world hidden among London's intellectual enclaves to trap a cunning adversary — before they fall victim to the next experiment in villainy …

The Near Enemy by John Ligato, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during June 2017

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during June 2017 …

The Near Enemy by John Ligato, A John Booker Mystery

Publisher: Post Hill Press

  

FBI Special Agent John Booker was in deep cover until a Mob guy was found fermenting in the Staten Island landfill. "It wasn't 'technically' my fault," did not cut the mustard with the bureaucrats, and Booker was banished to Cleveland. There, he is assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force and meets other like-minded agents.

FBI Agent Gwen McNulty, aka Agent 36 due to her bra size, is tough, irreverent, and capable. Tommy Shoulders, a Cleveland cop, is profane and never met a regulation he wouldn't massage. Booker also enlists rookie agents Gia Olson and Sean Gregory, who are both eager to kick some jihad ass. Booker discovers that government, political correctness and restrictive policies will make it impossible to ever solve the threat of lone wolf attacks. Booker and his team cannot get ahead of the problem without going rogue — so he decides to operate off the books.

When Booker receives information that lone wolves plan to kill 100,000 people at an Ohio State football game, the agent must decide between family and country.

Review: Southern Fried by Tonya Kappes

A Mysterious Review of Southern Fried by Tonya Kappes. A Kenni Lowry Mystery.

Review summary: Though a fast-reading book with a strong mystery storyline, it’s a little hard to get past some of the character flaws. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Southern Fried
Tonya Kappes
A Kenni Lowry Mystery
Henery Press (April 2017)

Publisher synopsis: In the South, it’s better when the food is fried and the secrets kept buried…After the dead body of a beloved Cottonwood resident is found tangled up in an electric fence, Sheriff Kenni Lowry has a hunch that somethin’ ain’t right. Her investigation heats up with a fierce cook-off competition, a euchre game where the intel is sweeter than the brownies, and a decades old family recipe that may just be the proof in the pudding.

The icing on the cake: Kenni is fighting an attraction to her recently sworn-in deputy sheriff, and election season is hot on her tail. When the killer comes after who she holds most dear, even her poppa’s ghostly guidance might not be enough to keep her and her own out of the frying pan.

Take Out by Margaret Maron, a Sigrid Harald Mystery (9th in series)

Publisher: Grand Central

 

Sigrid is still reeling from the untimely death of her lover, acclaimed painter Oscar Nauman, when she is called to investigate the deaths of two homeless men in the West Village. The police at first assume an overdose, until they realize that one of the men shows no signs of drug use. Then when containers of poisoned takeout food are found nearby, Sigrid's case is suddenly much more complicated. As Sigrid investigates, she uncovers an intriguing neighborhood history: a haughty mafia widow and her disgraced godson, a retired opera star with dark secrets, an unsolved hit-and-run, and the possible discovery of a long-missing painting that will rock the art world. Soon the case is fraught with myriad suspects and motives. Who killed the two homeless men, and why? And which one was the intended victim? Or was the poisoned food meant for someone else entirely?

Throwing herself into the murder investigation to distract herself from her personal grief, Sigrid still can't stop wondering what led Nauman across the country to the winding mountain road that took his life. Until she meets a man who may hold the answers she seeks.
