Smokes of Death Beer by Shana Frost

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

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?

Her Last Call by Elle Gray

“Come out, come out, wherever you are…”

A beautiful young woman trapped within a killer’s sick and twisted game.
Stella Hughes called for help, but help did not come in time.
She could not hide, fight, or escape.
Stella was ensnared in the killer’s web.
The victim of a twisted serial killer’s mind.

Shortly after detective Paxton takes on the case of Stella Hughes, he realizes this is no ordinary murder.
It becomes clear very quickly that Stella, the girl Paxton had known, was the victim of another serial killer – a theory that’s quickly confirmed by a bright, quirky independent journalist named Marcy.
As they dig deeper into this killer, they soon learn of his twisted obsession.

With his friend FBI Special Agent Blake Wilder by his side, Paxton engages in a hunt for a killer that will take him on winding, twisting paths he never thought he would tread.
The killer will make him do what nobody else has been able to do before… confront himself and confront his past.
As the killer rampages through town and proves to be as elusive as anybody Paxton has ever hunted, the stakes for he and everybody around him rise.
And unless Paxton can find and capture him, nobody will be safe.

Featured Book: Good Investigations by Ben Westerham

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Good-InvestigationsSouth London. The 1980s. David Good, a morally confused and womanising private investigator, is hired by a ridiculously beautiful blonde to help her fend off the attentions of a serial blackmailer. But he’s barely got to grips with the woman’s keen sense of self-interest when he stumbles on to something far more unpleasant.

As he digs deeper, he finds there is more than one woman out there in dire need of his help. For once, despite the obvious risk to his own carelessly maintained health, he finds he can’t stop himself going out on a limb in an effort to put an end to some particularly unpleasant behaviour. It’s quite possible that his trade-mark sense of humour won’t be enough to see him safely out the other side of this particular engagement. But time’s running out if he’s going to put an end to a great deal of suffering.

Join David Good as he seeks to simultaneously unravel both the crime and the woman.

Featured Book: Fade Route by David Chill

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Fade-Route-Cover-Art-7aA local politician is murdered and there’s one obvious suspect.

But Burnside, the former football star turned private investigator, pushes forward into an investigation that reveals more and more possible culprits, all with their own motives. With little more to go on than his gut feeling, Burnside pokes at everything around him as he tries to untangle a web of deceit that threatens to take down an entire community.

Fade Route is set on the outskirts of Los Angeles, in a seaside town that is both serenely pretty and brutally stark. It is a community that is home to the very rich and the very poor, a place that contains more than its share of affluence and beauty, as well as sin and despair. The story combines all the elements of a classic mystery, and delivers biting humor and numerous plot twists. It is a page turner that will keep the reader guessing until the jaw dropping climax reveals an ending that is both shocking and satisfying.
