Here’s the set-up for L.J. Sellers’ Dying for Justice, just $2.99 for Kindle:

When Gina wakes up from a two-year coma, she realizes someone tried to kill her and make it look like suicide. Detective-in-training Lara Evans is assigned the case, but when she discovers who the main suspect is, she fears she’s in way over her head.

Meanwhile Detective Jackson learns the man in prison for murdering his parents is innocent of the crime and another officer coerced the detainee into a confession. As the two investigators work the cold files, members of their own department come under suspicion and their cases begin to overlap. Can they find the killers before the crimes of the past explode in the present?

From the reviewers:

Another Home Run: I have loved all of LJ Sellers books & this one is another home run. I am not going to give it an overview because others already have. However, this is why I love her books – the characters are developed well, the story itself is top notch, you are always surprised by the ending, the story is not too long but not too short, and you just don’t want to put the book down.

Another Great Read: Det Jackson series just keeps getting better. What can I say…read em, you’ll like em. Real easy and smooth and each book offers substantial character development…which just makes me hungrier for the next.

Great Addition To The Series: What can I say without giving away too much? Only this is a darned good police procedural involving characters you love to follow. I think L.J. Sellers gives us as good as J.D. Robb ever did. Maybe it’s something to do with using two inits instead of a first name. Whatever it is, it’s working.

Might Be The Best Yet: Detective Jackson, who we’ve come to love in other Sellers’ mystery novels, is back in a big way in Dying For Justice and this time the case gets very personal. And when detective-in-training Lara Evans is assigned the case, the reader is treated to a yet another of Sellers’ richly satisfying characters. One can’t help but love the drama that ensues.

April 20, 2011 by KND

“The thinking man’s thriller,” says bestselling author Lisa Gardner: “Jacob Christianson, aspiring doctor and cult elder’s favored son, questions everything, including the nature of God and the sexist politics of polygamy [as he] tracks down a killer whose grisly crimes threaten his community, family, and his own life.”

Here’s the set-up for Michael Wallace’s The Righteous, Just 99 cents on Kindle!

Medical student Jacob Christianson is sent by church elders to investigate a murder within the polygamist enclave of Blister Creek, Utah. He brings his young sister Eliza, who must choose a husband from three old men jostling for power within the church hierarchy.

Jacob discovers that the murdered woman has been killed in accordance with secret blood oaths taken within the polygamist temple. Together with his sister, he uncovers a plot to overthrow the church leadership, with murders that reach beyond the community and into the “gentile” world.

The Righteous is a heart-pounding suspense-thriller with a depth that will haunt the reader long after the last page is turned.

But here’s even better news! Once you finish The Righteous, you can pick up the sequel, Mighty and Strong, and keep right on going!

From the reviewers:

“Wallace authoritatively and unsparingly tears open the veil shrouding a Utah polygamist community and its secret oaths of blood atonement, temple sacrifice, and angels with drawn swords. Inside we find a riveting thriller that recaptures everything lost from the original American religion.” — Jeffrey Anderson, National bestselling, International Thriller Award nominated author of SLEEPER CELL.

Today’s eBook of the Day is a Must-Read “Coming of Age” Novel Set in Hard Times: Barbara Hacha’s Line By Line — Just $3.99 on Kindle, and Here’s a Free Sample!

April 16, 2011 by KND

As the Great Depression deepens and her family disintegrates, Maddy Skobel flees her central Ohio town by freight train, determined to make her own way. In a coming-of-age story informed by values that resonate powerfully today, Maddy learns to survive as a hobo — and to choose her own family — while facing hardship, danger, and violence. Barbara Hacha’s Line By Line — Just $3.99 on Kindle.

Here’s the set-up for Barbara Hacha’s Line By Line:

The 1930s: As the Great Depression deepens and her family disintegrates, Maddy Skobel flees her central Ohio town —by freight train—determined to make her own way. Learning to survive as a hobo while facing hardship, danger, and violence, Maddy must discover her own resourcefulness and strengths.

Through Maddy’s eyes, Line by Line explores larger themes that especially resonate today: coming of age in times of economic devastation, trust in our government, and the life-shaping influence of family—both the family that we are born into and the family we create as we surround ourselves with those who matter most.

From the reviewers:

Beautifully crafted–Maddy’s journey takes her through hobo jungles, railroads,and vineyards, exposing her to a host of people and events that enable her to gain wisdom, love, and strength along the way. A rich and unforgettable novel describing a time that not only tested the mettle of the protagonist but of the country.

Maddy refuses to give in on what life throws her way. She sees a lot through her life such as railroads, the people who work at them and how they live. She also meets hobo’s what they are like and various other people whom give her strength and she starts looking inside herself. She finds love in herself, strength and new life along her journey. Maddy is a very memorable character you want to read more about. This is a must read!

Recreating the 1930s with realistically drawn characters and authentic circumstances, this book has particular resonance in our own difficult economic and political times. Staring down the devastating consequences of a dysfunctional family and deteriorating depression-era economic conditions, Maddy is a compelling, multi-faceted character who discovers her inner strength the hard way.

In one day, Maddy’s life is changed forever, but she refuses to live the life fate has handed her. We follow Maddy as she leaves her small Ohio town and her family behind in search of a new life.

In Line by Line, Barbara Hacha brings the Great Depression to life and uncovers the hobo subculture. They don’t just serve as a background against which to tell the story; they are as much a part of Maddy’s life as the unforgettable people she meets on her journey.

With an age-old curse, romance, and edge-of-the-seat suspense, Misa Ramirez’ A Deadly Curse is a fantastic 5-star read. Here’s a free sample of our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day!

April 13, 2011April 13, 2011 by KND

High school teacher Johanna Rios’ world turns upside down when a former student turns up drowned, dressed like the crying woman in the legend of la Llorona. The curse is back, and Johanna must join with her principal to confront the legend, the curse, and the man behind the killings. A Deadly Curse by Misa Ramirez.

Here’s the set-up for Misa Ramirez’s A Deadly Curse, just $4.95 on Kindle:

Most people think the Spanish legend of la Llorona, a woman who killed her children to be with the man she loved, is just a story.

High school teacher, Johanna Rios, knows the truth. A descendant of la Llorona’s one surviving child, Joanna’s mother fell victim to the curse, drowning as she tried to kill Johanna and her sister Carmen. When one of Johanna’s former students, dressed in a white peasant dress like the crying woman herself, turns up drowned in the San Julio River, Johanna’s world turns upside down.

The curse is back.

Single father Ray Vargas is filled with guilt. His daughter’s friend, a former student from the high school where he’s principal, is dead and he could have prevented it. When Johanna Rios, one of his teachers, reveals her obsession with la Llorona and thinks three more people will die, each one representing a different version of the crying woman’s story, he will do whatever it takes to stop the killings from happening.

But with danger closing in and his own daughter at risk, Ray must join forces with Johanna to confront the legend, the curse, and the man behind the killings.

From the reviewers:

I’d read Misa’s other books (in the Lola Cruz series), so when I picked this one up, I already knew she could write. I didn’t know she could be chilling. This is a creepy book, in the very best sense of the word. Great protagonists, great supporting characters, and an interesting, fast-paced story with a surprise twist at the end that I, at least, didn’t see coming. Highly recommended!

I first found Misa Ramirez through her Lola Cruz mystery series and just adored her voice and story-telling, and I’m thrilled she’s released even more stories. With an ages old curse, romance, and edge-of-the-seat suspense, A Deadly Curse is a fantastic read.

Misa Ramirez is a master storyteller, and the legend she brings to these pages is a fascinating realm in which to get to know her talent.

I don’t often read romantic suspense…I’m more of a Cozy Mystery Chick…but I’ll read every one of Misa’s books.

This is a Must-Read that you simply won’t be able to put down ’til The End…then you’ll be diving right into her next one!

A Deadly Curse is a wild ride of smokin’ hot Texas romance and the eerie curse of la Llorona. So glad I bought this book!

Jimmy O’Brien, defense attorney to the dregs of the criminal world, is on the case in our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Jeff Sherratt’s LA film noir mystery Detour to Murder. About $2.50 on Kindle, and here’s a free sample!

April 12, 2011 by KND

After 29 years of silence a convicted murderer’s changed tune threatens secrets that could destroy the underground aristocracy that has held power for years in the city of broken dreams.

Here’s the set-up for Jeff Sherratt’s Detour to Murder, just $2.51 on Kindle:

In 1945, the semi-nude body of a woman is found in a two-bit Hollywood motel, a telephone cord wrapped around her throat; face frozen in a grimace of horror. The stolen car of a murdered motorist is parked in the motel parking lot, the owner lying broken and dead on the side of an Arizona highway.

Al Roberts confesses and has spent the last 29 years in prison. Now, nearly three decades after meekly confessing, the aged Roberts swears his innocence. Jimmy O’Brien, defense attorney to the dregs of the criminal world, must find out why.

Why did Roberts give a false confession? And why has he waited 29 years to tell the truth?

O’Brien digs into the past, igniting a powder-keg that threatens to expose the long-held secrets behind Detour, the iconic Hollywood film documenting Roberts’ story. Secrets that could destroy the underground aristocracy that has held power in Los Angeles, city of broken dreams, for years.

Jimmy’s ordeal takes him from the bleakness of Roberts’ prison cell to the seedy streets of Hollywood, frantically searching to find out who took this DETOUR TO MURDER.

From the Reviewers:

DETOUR TO MURDER is smoothly written and incredibly intriguing. I’m hooked on the Jimmy O’Brien series, and fell deeper in love with his cast of characters, particularly Rita and Sol. The feel of the time period is authentic, beautifully rooted. The story has enough twists and turns to keep you up at night, and Sherratt’s talent weaving the tangled web is superb.

If you like noir mystery, or if you don’t know if you like noir mystery, you must read Detour to Murder, by Jeff Sherratt. Heck, if you just like mysteries, read this book.

Newport Beach author Jeff Sherratt brings his cop-turned-lawyer hero Jimmy O Brien back for a third adventure in this noir set in Southern California in the 1970s. Sherratt does a great job with snappy comedic dialog and evocative descriptions of the Southland from the gritty streets of Downey to Chino, Los Feliz, Hollywood and the coast north of Santa Barbara. The story involves stolen identity, political corruption and tragic romance, as well as murder. What more can a reader ask? –OC Metro
