Featured Book: Miz Scarlet and the Holiday Houseguests by Sara M. Barton

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

One of two perma-free books in the Scarlet Wilson Mystery Series!….Divorced parents who won’t stop bickering, a sassy teenager, and a killer stalking her are just what homicide investigator Laurencia “Larry” Rivera doesn’t need for Christmas! The short-handed state police investigator can’t get a handle on the latest murder case…things just keep going wrong. Is someone trying to intimidate Larry and her team, to protect the killer and prevent him from being caught?

Innkeeper Scarlet Wilson is a good friend. That’s why she invites the entire Rivera family to spend Christmas at the Four Acorns Inn. But a killer comes a-calling in the middle of their holiday preparations. “Miz Scarlet” may not have Larry’s professional cop training, but that doesn’t stop her from enlisting boyfriend Kenny Tolliver and Larry’s former partner, Max, to rescue the uncooperative damsel in distress. If only she stuck to guest services….Before the Rivera visit to the Four Acorns Inn ends, not only will a killer be sent packing, everyone will learn two things: the shocking reason for the bitter divorce of “The Spitball King” and the “Queen of Clean”, and how the granddaughter of a Red Sox assistant coach came to be named after a famous Yankee center fielder.

A town known for its smoked beer. What if this pint is your last?

Nina Banerjee wants to enjoy medieval architecture, history and Rauchbier in the charming town of Bamberg in Bavaria. But when she stumbles upon the dead body of a man she just shared a beer with, things take a turn for the worse.

This quaint town, with its half-timbered houses and touristy attractions, is not all that safe. It’s a playground for criminals, who run riot with murder on their minds.

What will Nina do? Will she sit still as Detective Robert Muller labels her a prime suspect, or will curiosity get the better of her?

Targeted Age Group:: 18-60

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Bamberg did! The book is set in this picturesque city in Germany. The enigma surrounding Bamberg and it's rich heritage made be think: what if a tourist stumbled over a dead body whilst roaming these cobbled streets?

Featured Book: Escape to Osprey Cove by Luisa Marietta Gold

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

FREE–10/4-5
What Doug finds in the secret compartment of his new red Corvette will forever change his life. It will also change Catherine’s. Doug and Catherine come from two different worlds. Catherine’s world is one of privilege and wealth. Doug grew up dirt poor and full of envy of others who had the things that he wanted but could not have. His goal was to one day have all the things he coveted. Their worlds collide when Catherine, VP of a large New York City marketing firm, hires Doug. As soon as Doug learns of Catherine’s wealth, he sees Catherine as his ticket to all the things he covets. After a whirlwind courtship, they are married.

Poor boy meets rich girl should have resulted in happily ever after — not exactly. Doug quickly learns he also covets independence. Events begin to unfold in each of their lives. For Doug, it is his mysterious discovery in the secret compartment of the Corvette. For Catherine, it is a business meeting with Alex Droxell at the Osprey Cove Lodge. When Catherine enters the beautiful and serene lodge, it’s as though she is entering another place and time. The lodge is an escape from the nightmare she is living back home.

Authors Note: The Osprey Cove Lodge series is uniquely written, spanning seven geographic locations from the scenic Canadian region of the Rideau lakes to the beautiful shores of the Caribbean. An interesting web of mystery develops as the characters’ lives intertwine. The setting for The Osprey Cove Lodge series was born from my love of the beauty of this region in Canada. The description of the lodge is so beautiful and inviting that you will want to pack your bags and head there. The series is written in a continuing fashion; please be sure to read the books in the order written.
