Here is a list of some of the new releases for the week of July 12th, 2020. I am going to divide the list into 4 days because there are so very many of them for the week. Today is the third day of my list for this week. Hope you find some selections for your weekly reading. Enjoy and happy reading.

 

Graves-Winters has settled into married life with her husband, Nick, and is looking toward the future. When an invitation to a special retreat, strictly for psychics, lands in her lap, she decides it’s time for a leap of faith.
As the owner of Casper Creek, a cosplay Western town in Kentucky, Hannah Hickok is in a precarious position. A recent incident involving the death of a tourist – and a member of her own coven – has Hannah struggling. That’s why she agrees to host a bunch of psychics in her town.
Maddie and Hannah are both magic in their own way, although they approach life from different directions. Their worlds are about to collide, though.
When the most famous psychic in attendance – a woman who was both prickly and full of herself – is murdered in broad daylight, they’re going to have to work together to solve a terrible crime.
What do you do when your victim was hated by everybody, to the point where she kept a list of her enemies? Dig deep. That’s what. Even then, though, it’s going to be a bumpy ride … and the ending might not be happy for everybody.

Note: This is a crossover book featuring Maddie Graves and Hannah Hickok. It’s set after the conclusion of the Maddie Graves series and after The Monstrous Seven in the Hannah Hickok series.  (Amazon)

Wayside Bay is a quiet little coastal town where nothing ever happens.

Until Charlie Winston discovers the dead body of her favorite dog grooming client, Lana Anderson. Murder doesn’t happen in their tiny town!

Charlie is horrified, but after the shock wears off, she’s intrigued and begins asking questions. Her best friend Mabel tells her to stay out of it before she gets hurt. Charlie tries to keep her nose clean, but then a second murder occurs. Charlie and Mabel can’t help but think the two murders are connected, even if the police don’t.

As the case unfolds, Charlie and her dogs become a target. Someone wants her to quit being such a nosy busybody. Is she close to finding the killer? Charlie thinks so. Wayside Bay’s Chief Capistrano doesn’t and orders Charlie to steer clear before she gets herself or someone else killed.

As the investigation continues, the police can’t nail down one suspect and seem to be arresting everyone in town, including Charlie’s close friends. Charlie becomes frustrated by law enforcement’s lack of progress and delves deeper—some would say she’s meddling—into the case. Charlie enlists Mabel’s help and the two are determined to unmask the Wayside Bay killer—or killers!

Do they catch the killer? Or does their meddling hinder the investigation? Find out in the first book of the series A Wayside Bay Mystery.  (Amazon)

“Atmospheric and taut, A Dangerous Breed is a winner.”   — Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author

Van Shaw’s past and present collide when an ingenious blackmailer pushes him to the brink in this electrifying fifth novel in Glen Erik Hamilton’s gritty and emotionally powerful thriller series.

An invitation addressed to his long-dead mother sparks Van Shaw’s curiosity about the woman he barely knew. As he digs into young Moira Shaw’s past, he uncovers startling details about her life, including her relationship to a boy named Sean Burke—a boy Moira may have been seeing when she became pregnant. Could this Burke be the biological father who abandoned Van before he was born? Although Van knows all too well that some doors shouldn’t be opened, he decides to investigate the man—only to discover that Burke has an even darker family history than Van’s own.

But Van’s got more immediate problems. His friend Hollis is in a jam, and helping him out accidentally steers Van into the path of a master extortionist named Bilal Nath.  Nath demands that the talented thief mastermind a daring heist targeting a Seattle biotechnology firm, or the blackmailer will destroy the lives of people Van loves. Will Van be forced to steal a viral weapon with the potential to kill thousands? 

With Bilal Nath coercing him into a possible act of domestic terrorism, Van turns to his formidable crew of lawbreaking friends—including Hollis, Big Will Willard, and Willard’s sly and seductive niece Elana—for help. Yet even this team may not be enough. To outwit a brilliant sociopath, Van might just need a cold-blooded killer . . . a criminal whose blood may run through his own veins.  (Amazon)

An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premiere destination for murder.

***Includes RECIPE
My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

It’s September and that means two things: fall is descending on Cider Cove and my wedding day is almost at hand. And as if preparing for my wedding wasn’t enough, there’s another wedding at the inn that I have to tend to. An old friend from college is getting married right here at the inn. Add a pushy mother-in-law to-be and a wedding party at war, and it’s enough to make me want to elope. But when someone in the wedding party ends up dead, it puts a damper on the festivities all the way around.

Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones and an ornery yet dangerously good looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer.

The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.

A laugh out loud cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore and her partner in cozy crime, USA TODAY Bestseller Bellamy Bloom. Cosmopolitan magazine calls Addison’s books…easy frothy fun.”
