Coddling Molly: Gritty crime fiction from Wales (The Welsh crime mysteries Book 5)
The best in crime and suspense you’ll read all year…
“Teenager” and “Brecon” might evoke fond memories of summer backpacking in the Welsh hills. Probably not the image of an adolescent girl’s body under a bridge in the middle of a winter night.
Found by the River Usk the next morning, nobody local knows who the victim is. DI Ben James and DS Erica Bevan find nothing nationwide either. So young, how could anyone not have reported her missing?
As soon as drugs enter the picture, it would be easy for the police to conclude she was just another tearaway who has taken the wrong path into drugs and crime.
But when ex-detective Heidi Holtz sees first hand and close to home how determined and ruthless dealers will use youngsters for their county lines operations, the case gets personal.

Leftover Girl
The truth will set you free… unless you’re Jes Delaney.
Eleven years ago, Jes appeared barefoot in the headlights of an old Ford. A truck driven by a man who not only saved her life, but also adopted her. At fifteen, she can’t remember anything before that night.
Her mom’s hometown seems like a safe place to hide. They’re like a normal family and Jes finally has friends. She even falls for a guy who likes her though he’s definitely off-limits. But it’s all an illusion. The more Jes looks around, the more she thinks something is wrong with her.
No one else dreams of spaceships or worries what might happen if people find out the truth. No one has to lie about who they really are.
When Jes befriends a strange new student, she discovers he’s searching for a missing girl who might be her. Could she be this mystery girl, and what will it mean for the family determined to protect her?
What makes this book different? It’s teen drama mixed with aliens and powers, soft sci-fi that’s heavy on dialogue. Leftover Girl has a complex mystery plot, a cliffhanger ending, and should be read as part of a series.

Revenge is Sweet (A Samantha Church Mystery, Book 2)
In Revenge is Sweet, the sequel to The Friday Edition, Samantha Church is back and the stakes are higher than ever. In a sinister quest to settle the score, the drug dealers she thwarted are no longer motivated by money or politics, they want one thing and one thing only: Revenge.
Snow swirls on a cold February night when reporter Samantha Church and her publisher Wilson Cole Jr. are kidnapped.
Days following the kidnapping, Sam wakes up in a hospital bed, dazed, bruised and confused. Why did they let her go? It makes no sense. It is only when the kidnappers make their next move does she realize why they let her go.
The kidnappers want to hurt Sam by harming those she loves most, her best friend and coworker, Wilson Cole Jr., and worse, her daughter, April. They taunt Sam, wanting to break her down mentally, physically and emotionally—pretty little April, watch her bleed, pretty little April, now we’ll have some fun. Say bye-bye, pretty little April will die before your eyes.
Revenge doesn’t come any sweeter. Or does it? Is all hope seemingly lost? Or is revenge a two-way street? Does Sam have a plan of her own for the kidnappers—one that will finally settle the score?
