Dangerous Waters by A.J. Rivers

She was terrorized, afraid, and desperate for help.
But her hopeless pleas would never be answered. No one would come to her rescue.
Now her body lays lifeless, floating in the water.
The girl could not escape the deadly and sinister secrets that Windsor Island holds…

It’s been a year since the body of FBI agent Emma Griffin’s ex-boyfriend was found on the beach.
His death remains as mysterious as ever, the truth has yet to be revealed.
Emma still cannot escape the feeling of guilt, regret, and grief that follows her daily.
Until a girls night with her best friend brought an unexpected surprise.
A week-long-all-expense paid vacation to an exclusive island resort.
Being in paradise should be the perfect way to clear her mind… But, when a body turns up and girls start to go missing. Disturbing secrets about the resort are coming to the surface. Turns out paradise is just an illusion, and the truths behind the dangers on this island are far more disturbing than Emma and her friends could ever imagine.
Emma isn’t content to let any secrets lie hidden. She’s going to find the culprit behind the murder and the disappearance.
Even if it means she gets taken too.

Will Emma be able to survive “paradise” and get off the island alive?

Can’t Stop The Funk by H. Max Hiller

Detective Cadillac Holland is the cop you call when the case that needs solved might not even be crime. It’s an election year and the local king of gentrification and out of town condominium developers threaten to bring disaster capitalism in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The ideas the Ninth Ward’s newest builders have about the future of the city’s most troubled neighborhood could once again displace the city’s poorest citizens, many of whom are still grappling with the storm’s economic aftermath. Detective Holland is asked to find the motive behind the offer to buy the homes being built by the Make It Right Foundation, and what he finds stirs the city’s treacherous political waters in ways nobody ever imagined possible.

Drawn to Feathered Nest, she discovers that the horror is far from over and whoever is behind the dare has no intention of his brutal game slowing down any time soon.
While in Feathered Nest, she revisits Cabin 13 to figure out the truth behind the necklace and search for more clues to discover the secret of the dead man that she found on its doorstep.

As she pieces together the stories of her past, she begins to realize they are far bigger than she could have imagined. But only Emma can determine how they end.

There is no turning back now. It is catch or be caught. Hunt or be hunted.

Lori Daniels Mystery: Pillow Talk by Tom Preschutti

Police Detective Lori Daniels has a knack for picking the wrong guy as a lover. This complicates her next big assignment.

One former lover from high school is now the front man for a major illegal drug distributor. Another former lover is the captain of the Police Internal Affairs Division, who vows to have Lori kicked off the police force, even if it means framing her as a gang informant.

Strategies devised by the State Police, City Police, Internal Affairs, and a Drug Gang, including using moles and informants, all go haywire. In the end, the trust between friends, along with steady and reliable police work, leads to the capture of a major drug lord.

Featured Book: Sins of the Father (The Chronicles of Detective Marcus Rose) Volume 3 by A.D. White

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Detective Marcus Rose enters the emergency room on a stretcher in critical condition after someone has shot him three times. The story then jumps back four weeks to the murder case that ultimately leads to his shooting. Cops have found
25-year-old Sarah Murphy in her home with a fatal stab wound in her back and
through her heart. The number “347” is written in blood on a bathroom mirror. Two other recent killings, one in Virginia and the other in Maryland, have the same M.O., from the manner of death to the bloody number on a mirror. Marcus and his partner, Detective Logan Steele, lock onto a suspect quickly, even if they initially only connect him to two of the victims. As the local newspaper picks up the story and dubs the serial killer “the Boogey Man,” Marcus, believing there’s a chance they don’t have the right culprit yet, continues to investigate. Deciphering the cryptic numbers at the scenes may be the answer to solving the murders. In this story, the homicide unit’s new sergeant, Reginald Powell, offers comic relief, as his
intermittent mumbling renders orders incomprehensible. The lead detective (Marcus Rose) is, as always, profound. He’s a germophobe who often uses hand sanitizer, but it’s apparent that Marcus is also trying to wash away “the stink of crime,”
especially at home with his wife, Gina. You will be anticipating the confrontation that lands Marcus in the hospital. The twists and turns will leave you holding on as you arrive at the stunning conclusion.

The Milkman: Book I by Greg Buck

If you were offered $10,000 dollars to make someone ‘disappear’, what would you do?

Jesse Hardner is nineteen years old and working as a milk man to support himself through college. Since an accident which killed his father and injured his mother, Jesse has also taken on the role of carer. He has far less time than he’d like to shoot hoops with his friends, develop his relationship with the girl he’s fallen for, and get his old Firebird back on the road. As if life wasn’t hard enough without his mentor and role model.

Gradually, with his mother on the long road to recovery, life seems to be improving. That is until the day he witnesses a domestic incident at the home of one of his customers and finds himself dragged unwillingly into their problems. Things reach an alarming peak when he discovers a note addressed to him in the family’s milk box.

Selected without his consent, Jesse faces the daunting task of ridding the community of a violent drug dealer, along with all of his baggage. If he is not careful, Jesse could lose everything he loves and has rebuilt.
