Six Mile Creek by Richard Helms (Back Alley Books) (15 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

A riveting new rural thriller from three-time Shamus Award nominee and two-time Derringer Award winner Richard Helms! Prosperity, North Carolina, used to be a red clay farming community populated mostly by the descendents of families that had settled the land over two centuries earlier. Then, developers from a huge city in the next county discovered its rolling hills and winding streams, and decided to turn it into a suburb. Former Atlanta cop and hometown high school football hero Judd Wheeler returned to Prosperity eight years ago to take a position as the Chief of the new Police Department. With one tragic exception, it's been a quiet, uneventful job. Now, the body of a young illegal immigrant Mexican girl has been found alongside the banks of Six Mile Creek. For the first time since his return to Prosperity, Wheeler finds himself with a murder on his hands. His investigation will place him in direct opposition with his closest childhood friend, ratchet up racial and class tensions in a community already stretched to the limit, and nearly tear his quiet little town to pieces as he searches for the murderer of Gypsy Camareno. At the same time, coincidences he can't ignore will stoke Chief Wheeler's own nightmares of terrible events years earlier, and interfere with his ability to see the case clearly. In the small North Carolina town of Prosperity, the line between desperation and salvation runs right down the middle of Six Mile Creek.

A great adventure! Kathryn M, Netgalley Reviewer For pure escapism, Gullivar Jones and the Treasure of the Tsar fits the bill. A mix between Raiders of the Lost Ark, Baron Muchausen and Pirates of the Caribbean. A real creative dive into adventure with well built, although fleeting, characters. I am not sure why this author does not have more exposure. Andy M, Netgalley reviewer Gullivar Jones and the Treasure of the Tsar was a quick and easy adventure read, even when it touched on some heavier topics toward the end. The cover reminded me of Indiana Jones and that vibe was in the story. Parts also reminded me a bit of myth re-tellings like Percy Jackson. I was a little unsure how it could end in a satisfying way while I was reading, but I was happy with the ending when I got to it. Vanessa R, Netgalley reviewer

Ericka has lost all of her self-confidence. She is terrified to escape her abusive relationship, and worse yet, she is forced to leave her son behind. He has bipolar disorder, so it's an especially difficult move for her to make, but she has no choice. She escapes to Vermont, to a second home that belongs to her family, but she discovers that the house, and a place in the woods near it, have a dark history. She wonders if it explains some of the strangeness that still seems to hang over it. In learning about its past, she also discovers more about Neil, the person who eventually reveals its secrets to her, and why he seems to comprehend so much about her own plight. She realizes that Neil might also be the key to understanding more about her son, and how to bring him back into her life.

The Winter Crash: Book ONE in the Dean Investigations P.I. Mystery Series by K.W. Bennett (15 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

An ex cop in a wheelchair, a med school drop out on crutches. Not your standard PI duo. After a hit-and-run car crash Caitlyn's life is put on hold. Her broken leg refuses to heal, and she is questioning her future career plans as a doctor. She realizes the only way forward is to find out what happened, who hit her and left her to die, and - most importantly - who was at fault. She dust off her (very average) hacking skills, and enlists the help of Thomas Dean; a former-cop-turned-PI, and a permanent wheelchair user after a spinal cord injury. He hopes he still has what it takes to get the job done. But what Caitlyn first shrugs off as paranoia, a daily reminder of the annoying post-crash nightmares, turns out to be a real threat. In their search for the perpetrator, they stumbled on a bigger case than they had planned for. If you like PI mysteries somewhere in between cozy and thriller with some humor mixed in, then this book is for you.
