Featured Book: AN UNFORTUNTE COINCIDENCE: A 1920s Mystery by Michael Sinclair

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

The decade of the 1920s is now one hundred years ago. Flappers and speakeasies are hallmarks of that era. Family conflicts, adultery and even murder were prevalent during this period of decadence and free love. AN UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE is a mystery set in the stately home of an upper crust family bringing the 1920’s to life—amidst a parade of death!

It is January 1928, New York City. Megan Cary, a young and stylish librarian, lives with her moody but wealthy husband, Adam, on Central Park South. Just as Meg can no longer tolerate her husband’s philandering, Adam mysteriously dies during a weekend trip to his hometown of Albany. Meg finds a suicide note, and the police want to quickly close the case. So does Adam’s mother, Helen Cary, the stern matriarch of the brownstone house she shares with her sister and brother-in-law, as well as her daughter and son-in-law. Skeptical that Adam would kill himself, Meg hires a private detective, Sloane Shepard, whose investigation ultimately unravels family secrets as a series of surprising deaths occur over two cold and snowy weeks in Albany.

Featured Book: One for the Money by D. B. Borton

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

After decades of marriage, motherhood, and grandmotherhood, Cat Caliban is looking for a new career. Since suspicion is second nature to any woman who’s raised three kids, detective work seems a logical choice. So, she sells her suburban house, buys an apartment building in a “transitional” neighborhood, and begins her training, only to discover a dead body in an upstairs apartment. What’s the connection between a murdered homeless woman and the Golden Age of Hollywood silent movies? Cat races to discover it before the killer can strike again.

In this first book of the popular Cat Caliban series, Cat assembles her colorful cast of helpers and neighborhood hangers-on. See why reviewers and readers have called ONE FOR THE MONEY “amazing,” “really funny,” “tone perfect, “a wonderfully entertaining read,” and “a light-hearted, laugh-out-loud romp of mystery,” and why Pat Luboff of UNDERRATED READS writes, “I’m going to say something that I don’t think I’ve ever said about a book: I loved every word! It gave me such a feeling of joy as I read it.”

At the heart of an ancient prophecy is young Lucas, who has the sole power to save two medieval kingdoms from destruction . . . but will he discover this ultimate secret before it’s too late?

Lucas has been raised as a blacksmith’s son; an outsider ostracized by the other village children. One night at a nearby monastery, a mysterious black stone whispers a haunting premonition to Lucas. When his father is murdered, the monks take Lucas in, convinced he is an extraordinary hero foretold by destiny. However, a restless Lucas runs off to join a circus where he draws the attention of the powerful King Itan, who believes Lucas is one of “the chosen”―a group of boys who are descendants of great warriors. The king will stop at nothing to compel Lucas to join his chosen army, all while the soldiers who killed Lucas’s father are closing in. Before long, Lucas is embroiled in a plot to defeat the king while an unseen enemy begins planning to bring the young man down before he learns of his remarkable power.

This first novel of L. Waithman’s richly imagined fantasy series will leave you eagerly awaiting Lucas’s next adventure.

Bloody Delta Dawn by Jerold Last

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Motorcycle gangs, corrupt cops, kidnapped dogs, drug dealers, and the unique geography and history of California’s Sacramento River Delta area, where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers flow into San Francisco Bay, are all woven into the plot of this suspenseful thriller.

Targeted Age Group:: Adult, Young adult

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Mainly several plot ideas I'd had for some time just waiting to use when the time was right and a fascination with the locale, which is close to where we live, used for the setting. The Delta area is a part of California not particularly well known to tourists and to people living in the southern half of the state, with a rich history and a very different feeling than the beaches of the Los Angeles and San Diego coastal areas, the urban sprawl of the San Francisco Bay area, or the Sierra mountains.

Featured Book: Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment


About Featured Book: Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel

The CIA and presidential cabinet members covertly enter into an agreement with the Palestinians to remove certain key Israeli government figures in a plan to enable the United States to claim that they engineered peace in the Middle East and gain the favor of Arabic countries and likely gain favor to increase energy supply. Sentinel, a group of angelic-type beings who monitor the Earth, are very concerned that the United States could be igniting a major conflict if the Israelis learn of the plan and retaliate.

Taneen, an unscrupulous and deadly CIA operative convinces the CIA deputy director of operations to eliminate the agency’s most highly regarded operative, James Halyard, Codename Poltergeist, believing Halyard was a possible threat to their plans. Taneen won’t admit it, but he’s scared of Halyard who moves like a ghost through his missions and is jealous of Halyard’s deadliness. The attempt to kill Halyard fails, but they kill Halyard’s wife in the process. An angelic-like being from the Sentinel rescues Halyard who was seriously injured in the explosion that practically destroyed the hotel room he was sharing with his wife.

Sentinel heals Halyard of his wounds. They have been monitoring Halyard for some time and give him the option of becoming an agent for their purposes with highly augmented mental and physical abilities. He agrees and truly becomes Poltergeist able to move silently with the grace and ease of a large predator. His earing, vision, and cognitive abilities are highly elevated, and he has the ability to move through the transparency to escape from confined spaces. Sentinel sends Poltergeist to unravel and thwart the conspiracy. Even with Poltergeist’s impressive abilities he finds Taneen to be elusive and very deadly. Poltergeist encounters several unforeseen allies, a highly capable and equally lethal MOSSAD agent, Deborah Eisman, who at first sought to eliminate him and a crusty homicide detective, Harry Sullivan who help Poltergeist battle Taneen and the CIA.
