This week’s selection of new fiction is to die for! If you enjoy murder mysteries, you won’t want to miss these new books:
Bad Day Breaking: A Bad Axe County Novel - #4 by John Galligan is a thrilling mystery that explores the price paid for following false leaders and the power we each have to triumph over trauma as Sheriff Heidi Kick struggles to prevent a radical religious sect from turning her county into the next Jonestown, all while a dark secret from her past puts her life in danger.
The Kingdoms of Savannah by George Dawes Green showcases the way that Savannah may appear to be “some town out of a fable,” with its vine flowers, turreted mansions, and ghost tours that romanticize the city’s history but a closer look reveals secrets, past and present, that tell a more sinister tale.
Death and the Conjuror by Tom Mead unfolds an enthralling locked-room murder mystery inspired by crime fiction of the Golden Age featuring a magician-turned-sleuth in pre-war London.
The Bullet That Missed: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery - #3 by Richard Osman begins with a decade-old cold case which leads to a local news legend and a murder with no body and no answers. Then a new foe pays a visit. Her mission? Kill or be killed. Suddenly the cold case has become red hot. (We do have books #1 and #2 available if you’d prefer to start at the beginning of this series!)
