New Releases by Writers Who Kill

I’m thrilled to introduce you to some great new books by authors you already know and love! 

Lisa Malice's book released on December 12th and immediately hit Amazon's domestic thriller new release best seller list. The audiobook received Audiofile Magazine's Earphones Award. What a fabulous debut. It's a book you don't want to miss.

Lest She Forget, by Lisa Malice


After surviving a car crash, Kay Smith wakes from a coma with amnesia, a battered face, and no one to vouch for her identity. Her psychiatrist is convinced that her memory loss is connected to the horrific flashbacks and nightmares haunting her. As she digs for clues to her past, Kay uncovers a shady character following her every inquiry. Who is he? And what does he want from her?

 As Kay's probes deepen, she realizes that everyone around her has deadly secrets to hide—even her. Emerging memories, guilty suspicions, and headline-screaming murders push Kay to come out of the shadows and choose: will she perpetuate a horrendous lie or risk her life to uncover the truth? 

 Heather Weidner’s latest released on January 16th. It's the second in the stunning Mermaid Bay Christmas Shoppe Mysteries. You probably already know Heather from her Delanie Fitzgerald Mysteries and her Jules Keene Glamping Mysteries. Now is the perfect time to catch up with the doings at Mermaid Bay.

 TwinkleTwinkle au Revoir, by Heather Weidner


 
Love is in the air when Hollywood arrives in Mermaid Bay, and the town may never be the same. Fans will do almost anything to get a glimpse of the actors or a chance to be an extra in the Love Channel’s “My Coastal Valentine.” Crowds flock to the cozy beach town from all over and business is booming for Christmas shop owner, Jade Hicks until the body of a testy reporter is found in one of the actors rooms. And if murder isn’t bad enough, someone tries to kill the show’s star, hunky Raphael Allard. The cozy little beach town feels cursed, as the Love Channel threatens to pull out of the project. Jade and the gang, Lorelei, Peppermint Patti, Bernie, Chloe, and Neville the Devil Cat, have to solve the crimes before it ruins the town’s reputation and breaks the hearts of fans across the country.
