Vigilante thrillers, new mysteries and news!

For fans of armchair travel and historical mysteries (this one is set in the 1920s).

Louise Lloyd has moved to Paris from Harlem and is loving her new, quiet life, working in a perfume shop and enjoying the nightlife with her friends. Until a woman searching for her missing daughter needs Lloyd’s help. Now Lloyd has infiltrated a group of elite young artists and wonders if one of them would hurt one of their own?

If you want to read the series from the beginning, choose Dead Dead Girls, which begins during the Harlem Renaissance.

For fans of ex-cops turned private investigators, multiple suspects and thrillers!

Annalisa Vega has left the Chicago Police Department and is now a private investigator with a big case: Mara Delaney has written a book, soon to be released, arguing that there are good sociopaths and that neurosurgeon Craig Canning is proof. Until a woman in Canning’s apartment building falls to her death and Delaney begins to question her own beliefs. Now she has to find out if Canning is a murderer before the book’s publication date. Vega takes it on, except she discovers that even though the cops have ruled it an accident, she suddenly finds herself in a cat-and-mouse game for answers.

If you want to start at the beginning of this series, pick up Gone for Good — Schaffhausen is one of the authors I turn to every time I want to dive into a solid mystery. She’s very good at character and pacing.
