Grave Wedding (A Maddie Graves Mystery Book 15) by [Hart, Lily Harper]They thought it would never happen, but the wedding of their dreams is finally here.
Maddie Graves and Nick Winters are days from walking down the aisle, exchanging vows, and embarking on the life they’ve always wanted. All they have to do is solve one more mystery … and this one is going to be a doozy.
A local man is shot and killed in his own house, his wife present and accounted for at the time of the murder. She denies doing the deed, but since her husband was cheating on her – and with more than one person – suspicion follows her at every turn … especially since she was the only one in the house at the time.
Maddie is convinced that the whole story isn’t being told, that a piece of the puzzle is missing. Nick values her opinion, but he also recognizes that Maddie’s soft heart often takes control of her practical brain. Still, he admits things don’t add up and he’s unwilling to look away until he has all the answers.
It’s a race to happily ever after. Maddie and Nick are looking forward to the future. The past has a few tasks left for them to solve, though.
Forever and always are here, as long as death doesn’t part them at the last second.  (Amazon)

The Wedding Guest: An Alex Delaware Novel by [Kellerman, Jonathan]“Jonathan Kellerman’s psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix.”—Los Angeles Times

Psychologist Alex Delaware and detective Milo Sturgis unravel a shocking crime at a raucous wedding reception in this gripping psychological thriller from the #1 New York Timesbestselling master of suspense.

LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis is a fine homicide detective, but when he needs to get into the mind of a killer, he leans on the expertise of his best friend, the brilliant psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware. While Sturgis has a knack for piecing together the details of a crime, Delaware can decipher the darkest intents driving the most vicious of perpetrators. And there’s no better place for the doctor’s analytical skills to shine than a rowdy hall full of young men and women intoxicated on life and lust . . . and suddenly faced with the specter of death.

Summoned to a run-down former strip joint, Delaware and Sturgis find themselves crashing a wild Saints and Sinners–themed wedding reception. But they’re not the only uninvited guests. A horrified bridesmaid has discovered the body of a young woman, dressed to impress in pricey haute couture and accessorized with a grisly red slash around her neck. What’s missing is any means of identification, or a single partygoer who recognizes the victim. The baffled bride is convinced the stranger snuck in to sabotage her big day—and the groom is sure it’s all a dreadful mistake. But Delaware and Sturgis have a hundred guests to question, and a sneaking suspicion that the motive for murder is personal. Now they must separate the sinners from the saints, the true from the false, and the secrets from those keeping them. The party’s over—and the hunt for whoever killed it is on.  (Amazon)

Freaky Witches (A Mystic Caravan Mystery Book 7) by [Lee, Amanda M.]Mystic Caravan Circus is heading for the Midwest … and their first stop is Michigan. Hemlock Cove to be exact.
Poet Parker is looking forward to what she believes will be a quiet time. Hemlock Cove isn’t big, after all, and Mystic Caravan is essentially serving as the centerpiece for a paranormal festival in a town where everyone pretends to be witches.
There’s just one problem … real witches are afoot, and they’re unbelievably powerful.
When a body drops close to the circus grounds, Poet finds herself facing off with local law enforcement, the town’s only reporter, and an elderly witch who is set in her ways … and knows exactly how she’s going to do things no matter who agrees with her or not.
Yes, Poet is about to interact with the Winchester witches, and who comes out on top is anybody’s guess. The only thing both factions know is that they have to work together to uncover a killer and keep their true natures under wraps. That’s easier said than done, especially when Nellie and Aunt Tillie join forces and decided to take control of the situation.
It’s a battle for supremacy, with Mystic Caravan in one corner and the Wicked Witches of the Midwest in the other. Both sides are going to come out swinging … and cursing.
Place your bets.  (Amazon)

Dead Man's Lane by [Ellis, Kate]The gripping twenty-third mystery in the Wesley Peterson series from acclaimed crime writer Kate Ellis: ‘A beguiling author who interweaves past and present’ The Times

Some paths only lead to the grave . . .

Strangefields Farm is notorious for its sinister history ever since artist Jackson Temples lured young women there to model for disturbing works of art. Some of those girls never left the house alive.

Now, decades later, Strangefields is to be transformed into a holiday village, but the developer’s hopes of its dark history being forgotten are dashed when a skull is found on the site. And when a local florist is found murdered in an echo of Temples’ crimes, DI Wesley Peterson fears that a copy-cat killer is at large. Especially when another brutal murder in a nearby village appears to be linked.

As Wesley’s friend, archaeologist Dr Neil Watson, uncovers the secrets of Strangefields’ grisly past, it seems that an ancient tale of the dead returning to torment the living might not be as fantastical as it seems. And Wesley must work fast to discover who’s behind the recent murders . . . before someone close to him is put in danger.
