CHILLS FOR HALLOWEEN There always seem to be tons of new books to read and tons to keep up with. If you have an ereader or Kindle, that makes the job easier – no need to stockpile books – or worse – you collect many more books to read. But you don’t hear readers protesting too much, of course, right? So with Halloween and Fall around the corner, yes, here are few more new books to look out for: Author Jacqueline Seewald’s notable mystery, DEATH LEGACY, is now out in paperback with Harlequin Worldwide Mystery. A widow gets a mysterious call claiming her husband is still alive and a private investigator she hires discovers more questions than answers. Will the PI and the psychiatrist who joins the case be the next to die under “mysterious circumstances?” Just out: Author D.B. Corey debuts his mystery, CHAIN OF EVIDENCE. The last thing an old detective wants to do is chase a serial killer—and a copycat--but that’s what Moby Truax is about to do. Can he solve the case of two killers or will it be his career killer? New author Penny Clover Petersen also offers a pair of sleuthing sisters who find their perfect morning walk ruined with the discovery of a blood-spattered body in ROSES AND DAISIES AND DEATH, OH MY! Add in threatening letters, a brutal attack and a missing diamond, and the sisters, with the help of the “hormonally-exuberant” dog Malcolm, now must follow the clues to catch a killer. Author Joanna Campbell Slan’s scrapbooking character Kiki Lowenstein is still going strong with PICTURE, PERFECT, CORPSE (Book 7) and GROUP, PHOTO, GRAVE (Book 8) . Readers on Friday and Saturday (9/27-28) can download a new short story set between the two books free, KIKI LOWENSTEIN AND TOO MUCH SQUASH. http://tinyurl.com/2muchsquash And if you missed it, read an excerpt at http://www.joannaslan.blogspot.com/2013/09/kiki-lowenstein-and-too-much-squash.html. Need a Halloween read? Just released is a tale of a 16-year-old girl coming to terms with weird quirks, a strange new diet (no, not “that!”), and a new “life” as a part-Z (zombie) in GIRL Z: MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE by C.A. Verstraete. When Becca is infected with the Z virus through an accidental scratch, she tries to protect her family from the full Zs, and locate her and her cousin Carm’s missing mothers. Most of all, she hopes to find something, anything, to stop the deadly virus, before it is forever too late... A different kind of zombie story with a touch of humor, romance and mystery. |
