In a Flash by William Mangieri

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Jimmy was a good cop, but age and changing times were getting the better of him. If he could only get an edge, take advantage of some of that new-fangled tech – what would be the harm? I mean, everybody cheats a little, don’t they? Just be careful not to get caught… Read “In a Flash” to see how Jimmy gets himself out of trouble.
“In a Flash” is a sci-fi/crime short story, the first in the Detective Jimmy Delaney series (and it’s FREE.) If you like a little self-deprecation and humor with some sci-fi elements thrown in (think “The Rockford Files” mashed up with the old BBC “The Avengers”) this is the series for you.

Targeted Age Group:: 16+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
An associate mentioned how he wished he could just plug a flash drive into his brain and acquire skills, instead of having to spend years studying. I wondered about the convenience, and the mind-hacking dangers, and "In a Flash" was born (And Jimmy Delaney liked the gig and kept finding other ways to get in trouble.)

The Penitent Priest by J. R. Mathis

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

A wife murdered.
A killer at large.
A man of God with a painful secret.

When Tom Greer’s wife Joan was murdered and her killer never caught, he left Myerton determined to leave the painful memories behind. Ten years later, now-Father Tom Greer returns as the temporary pastor of Saint Clare’s Parish in Myerton–where he married and mourned his wife. Assigned there for four months, Father Tom’s only desire is to serve God’s people quietly then leave again. He has no desire to revisit the past.

But the past won’t leave Father Tom alone…

Secrets uncovered and a mysterious encounter in the confessional forces Father Tom to confront painful truths about Joan and her murder. When a police detective–a woman from Father Tom’s own past–refuses to reopen the case, he decides to take matters into his own hands.

It turns out to be a fateful decision, for Father Tom has secrets of his own…

Fans of Father Brown and PBS’s Masterpiece series Grantchester will love this first book in a new mystery series featuring Father Tom Greer.

Targeted Age Group:: 18+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I got the core idea for the book about 2 years ago. I fell in love with the concept, and I kept toying with it but did not sit down to write. Then, a cancer diagnosis in 2018 helped me realize that if I was going to become a writer, I needed to write. After my cancer went into remission, I sat down in August 2019 and began the first draft of what became The Penitent Priest.

Featured Book: The Fourth Rising by Martin Roy Hill

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

On May 8, 1945, WWII in Europe ended with Germany’s surrender. But did the Nazi Party itself surrender? Some say no.

1943: A German ship moors in a clandestine anchorage in western Mexico with a cargo of gold intended to bribe the Mexican government into declaring war on the United States. When the attempt fails, the German vessel flees leaving its gold buried somewhere along the coast of the Sea of Cortés.

1997: The horrific murder of an old flame’s husband sets former war correspondent Peter Brandt on the hunt for the hidden Nazi treasure. The search takes him down a bloody trail leading from the drug cartels of Mexico to a neo-Nazi training camp in the Southern California mountains. Along the way, he unearths a decades-long Nazi conspiracy to create a new Fourth Reich and continue the Nazi Party’s plan for world domination.

Inspired by historical events, and recent research suggesting the Nazi Party survived the German surrender, The Fourth Rising is the latest in the Peter Brandt adventures which include Empty Places and The Last Refuge

Primal Nature by Monique Singleton

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Primal Nature by Monique Singleton

Immortality comes at a high price; her sanity.


Known simply as subject 336, she was the unwilling subject of sinister and brutal experiments designed to replicate her enormous strength, healing powers, and apparent immortality.
It didn’t work out that way. Instead, they unleashed her primal nature.
Now they’re dead, and she’s lost.

From the sweltering heat of the Mexican desert, her journey leads her to the tropical jungle of the Columbian Amazon.

Against the backdrop of the Third World War, she fights her own gruelling battle to come to terms with what she is: a killer, a monster, or maybe worse.

The world is at war, and she is caught up in the middle.
Joining the revolution, her newfound talents sway the balance of war in their favour.
But is she a blessing, or a curse.


From International Bestselling Author Monique Singleton, Primal Nature captivates you from the first page and plunges you deep into the struggles and terrors of a random woman cursed with immortality.
It is the first book in the now completed Primal Series.
Warning: 18+ Adult content.

Re-edited in 2020
