Deuce Mora Mystery Series Vol. 4-5 Plus Maximum Impact (The Deuce Mora Series Book 7) by Jean Heller (268 Reviews)    Price verified 21 minutes ago

Three gripping thrillers featuring hard-hitting reporter Deuce Mora - and a twisty, pulse-pounding Watergate-type cover-up of a massive plane crash A Jean Heller read guarantees an intricate, action-packed mystery. Here are three of her best: a locked-room murder puzzle embedded in a contemporary mob mystery, an international crime ring embedded in corrupt government, and a government cover-up that loops and careens to a shocking climax. Fiery, tough, athletic, and a dirty fighter when she has to be, journalist Deuce Mora tends to lean more heavily on her "investigative reporter" profile than her "lead columnist" title strictly requires.

When it was Dark by Guy Thorne (33 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

"I, Joseph of Arimathea, took the body of Jesus, the Nazarene, from the tomb where it was first laid and hid it in this place." A press report on this discovery just outside Jerusalem says: "There now seems no shadow of doubt that the disappearance of the body of Christ from the first tomb is accounted for, and the Resurrection as told in the Gospels did not take place. Joseph of Arimathea here confesses that he stole away the body, probably in order to spare the Disciples and friends of the dead Teacher, with whom he was in sympathy, the shame and misery of the final end to their hopes." This is proof, welcomed by many, that Jesus was not who he claimed to be, the Son of God, but was nothing more than a good teacher who was treated cruelly by those in authority. Churches quickly empty. Over a year, society begins to break down around a world with no traditional standard to live by. A young curate, a journalist, and a music hall singer who is the mistress of a famous man, put their ...

The Mysteries Continue Life goes on in Ocean Alley, but change is underfoot. Unexpected Resolution opens with a surprise guest at Jolie and Scoobie's wedding, and an unidentified body in the Ocean Alley Hospital emergency room. Jolie has to help Scoobie dig through family skeletons -- and solve a murder.. The Twain Does Meet is a novella that relays the story of Jolie and Scoobie becoming parents. While there is lots to discover, it's not a traditional cozy mystery. It didn't seem right to combine such a joyous even with a corpse. In fact, it's called it a Jolie and Scoobie novella. The series moves ahead three years with Underground in Ocean Alley. As a mom of toddlers, Jolie Gentil has sworn off butting into other people's business. To those who know her, it sounds as far-fetched as finding used bubble gum on Mars. Nothing could drag Jolie into solving crimes. And then a request for help comes from the most unlikely source...
