Featured Book: Five Alarm Fire by D. B. Borton

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Everything heats up at menopause, even if you are an ace detective.

Crabby is how detective-in-training Cat Caliban has felt ever since menopause hit. Her friends think she can work off her aggressions pounding clay in a beginners’ pottery class. But someone has mistaken Cat’s pot for a blunt instrument and they’re firing something besides clay in the art center kiln. Now that things are really heating up, Cat’s murder investigation leads to a legendary lost collection of vases once owned by an equally legendary madam from Cincinnati’s bygone red-light district. Can Cat catch a killer before the past goes up in flames?

Featured Book: Entwined: In Mystery & Murder. . . x 2 by Thomas E. Cochrane

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

“Twins”…?

OR is there a more unusual connection between these two women who keep finding themselves in the middle of mayhem ― both in the U.S. and abroad?

Sophisticated Gee, born of privilege, a socialite philanthropist in Boston, and Karen, a sporty down-to-earth private detective. . .yet inhabiting the same body. And in love with the same man (the family’s hunky private pilot).

This tongue-in-cheek romp follows these “two” on their multi-continent adventures as they track down killers, confront para-military groups, and end up in the crosshairs of an international drug cartel ― changing locations and jetting hither and yon as quickly as they change a shade of lipstick. Yet they also manage to tackle a range of today’s most pressing issues including government corruption, gun control, money laundering, hurricane relief, and more.

WELCOME to this fast-paced, imaginative, and idealized reality where the world’s ills are often tidied up in lightning quick fashion, providing some utopian escapism for anyone who enjoys a mystery, inside a puzzle, inside a riddle as there’s also a classic whodunit enfolded herein―with yet another startling twist at this tale’s unorthodox conclusion . . .

Danger Music by Jacqueline Diamond

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Her quirky assignment: solve a famous cold-case mystery for a magazine article. Then the killer reawakens.

Offbeat writer Kenny Rubin lands a freelance job to figure out who killed actress Melinda Rivers five years earlier. And she’s supposed to do it before the airing of a TV movie on the same subject.

Many of the people involved in the filming knew Melinda, and one might be the murderer. As Kenny investigates, people start dying around her. Will she be next?

She has another tough challenge: bipolar disorder makes her perceptions unreliable. Will she recognize the killer before she plays right into his hands?

Alreaders.com said: “The story line is fast-paced … a wonderful Hollywood mystery.” Jacqueline Diamond, the USA Today bestselling author of the Safe Harbor Medical Mysteries, is a former Associated Press news and entertainment reporter in Los Angeles.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My experiences as a reporter and TV columnist for The Associated Press in Los Angeles provided a wealth of background for Danger Music. The choice of a heroine with bipolar disorder sprang from my relationship with a close friend who struggled with this condition.

A Cherry Sinister Murder

AUTHORS: Nancy McGovern & Cyra Bruce

Faith Franklin is a dreamer. She dreams of cakes & pies. She dreams of crepes & brownies. And, more than anything, she dreams of making a career of serving her delicious treats to an adoring public.

So, when her grandmother calls and asks her to move to Florida to help run her café, she cannot get out of Minnesota fast enough! And before she knows it she is standing in Paradise Point, the beautiful, oceanside plaza in which Bessie’s Café is located, hardly able to believe her good fortune.

Life is now exactly how Faith had imagined it could be. She’s made wonderful friends. The café, now renamed the Slice of Paradise, has been renovated to showcase her amazing desserts. And both locals & tourists are loving it!

Well, all except for one…

The owner of a nearby cupcake shop is not at all happy with Faith’s arrival in Paradise Point. She has accused Faith of trying to ruin her by stealing her recipes & designs. And she is not shy about letting everyone know it.

So, when the woman is found dead the day after their confrontation, people immediately begin to consider whether Faith is the killer…

Is Faith guilty of murder? If not, who is? And can Faith find a way to clear her name before her dreams turn into nightmares?
