A story featuring a mature woman sounds intriguing!

“Lady, if I were you, I’d get the hell away from here ‘cause when I make it up this hill, I’m gonna be looking for you.” Lucky Coalson’s luck has run out. His ex-wife turned out to be a con artist; his business is in a shambles, and he’s been tossed into a muddy river by a smart assed feminist with a chip on her shoulder. Things couldn’t get much worse…or so he thought.
When Lucky’s accused of murdering his ex-wife, the Coalson family enlists the help of a private investigator to gather the clues necessary to prove his innocence.
The two square off immediately, but soon passion overtakes animosity. But will Lucky's ex-wife continue to plague them from the grave?

Lockstep Robert P. French
A mysterious kidnapping. A political ransom. A missing teen. To save a child, an ex-cop with a dark past must risk his future.
From the book's opening chapter, you know this is a hard-boiled crime novel. Cal, known on the streets as Rocky, wakes up in a back alley. The description is vivid and confronting. He tries to break Roy from his drug-induced stupor as they have to hit the streets. Cal know that if anyone from his past recognizes him, he would meet a slow and painful death. One question hounds Cal, why did Tommy die of bad drugs when he was an alcoholic?
Excellent book with an interesting character and an interesting character. I enjoyed this refreshing approach to the genre.
I love a good detective story, especially when it involves a conspiracy. And when a case hangs on just one word, it has to be a page-turner.
This looks awesome. I love broken heroes. So much potential for awesome characterization.
This one has all the right stuff for a great story. Can't wait.

Kindred Intentions Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli
24 hours. 2 people. 1 target.
It was 10 a.m. when undercover agent Amelia Jennings arrived at the law firm Goldberg & Associates for a job interview. Her mission was to investigate a series of murders involving some well-known lawyers in the City. Her target, an elusive hired killer who had been of interest to the police for months.
But her plan is doomed to fall apart before it even starts.
In less than twenty-four hours Amelia will be the prey in a man hunt and her destiny will become entwined with Mike Connor’s.
Their intentions, apparently similar, may prove to be opposite, but the affinity binding them goes beyond what they think they know about each other.
One day to survive. One day to let go of the past.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Mystic Pieces Ada Bell
Aly doesn't believe in psychics. Too bad she just had a vision.
Future scientists don't see things that aren't real. Aly’s got enough on her plate, with finishing her degree and taking care of her nephew and starting her new job at the antique store while drooling over the owner's gorgeous son. No time for visions.
Alas, the universe doesn't care what Aly believes. When she turns 21, she starts to feel psychic impressions left on objects. A disorienting power for someone surrounded by antiques. 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.
Shady Grove is reeling from the first murder in decades. If Aly can get her hands on the right object, she'll know what happened. Can she learn to control her visions before the killer sets their sights on her?

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.

Heartbroken, Anna decides to investigate his death and unearths a trail of secrets that goes back a decade.

This engrossing, suspense-filled mystery kept me reading nonstop, not only for the twisting, fast-paced story but also for the unique dialogue and fascinating milieu of contemporary Scotland. A real page-turner. Highly recommended.
