In the Silence
In the Silence M.R. Mackenzie
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons…
On her first night back in town, what should have been the start of a relaxing Christmas getaway takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Foley in such a brutal manner – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them under wraps. Convinced that Foley was deliberately targeted rather than the victim of a random attack, Anna begins her own investigation, and in so doing unearths a trail of long-buried secrets, leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.

Then cranky customer Earl is killed, and Aly's new boss Olive is the prime suspect—not to mention the only person who understands Aly’s gifts. Who hated Earl enough to kill? Police would rather make a quick arrest than investigate, so it's up to Aly to clear Olive's name.

Littlethumb Sneezed
Littlethumb Sneezed Truant Memphis
"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
That title alone made me laugh. Can't wait to dive into this one!
Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.

Loving him means going agains every rule.
Looking at his warm blue eyes and blonde hair is worth any punishment.
Feeling his touch, his look on me gives me the courage to fight for our secret love.
Love that is forbidden.
Forbidden by the rules of our villages. I can’t imagine even having a saying on who I will marry.
I am to marry whomever father approves.
My father, who has no emotions, feelings, and has no clue what love is.
That, for sure isn’t a family secret. We all know too well how cruel father is.
And I’m suppose to trust that he will choose wisely?
I’m supposed to simply agree and go along with the wedding.
Even if that means marrying someone else.
But, that’s not who I am.
I have a tendency to choose what’s forbidden.
