Killing Critics
by Carol O'ConnellNYPD sergeant Kathleen Mallory, a wild child turned policewoman, possessed of a ferocious intelligence and a unique inner compass of right and wrong, is about to be sorely tested. Killing Critics begins with a discreet murder - the almost unnoticed death of a hack artist at a gallery opening - but quickly connects with a much more brutal crime - a twelve-year-old double homicide and dismemberment originally investigated by Mallory's now deceased adoptive father, Louis Markowitz. A quick confession ended that case, but as Mallory probes into the new murder, the ghosts of the old will not be still. She finds herself traveling in an intricately connected world of envy, greed, and lethal passions: a place where no relationship is what it seems, and the secrets, very deep and very dark indeed, strike closer and closer to home. By the end, she will come to know the truth - but the truth may be the most dangerous illusion of all.

Killing Custer
by Margaret CoelIn her pulse-pounding mysteries, New York Times bestselling author Margaret Coel interweaves authentic Native American culture and history with modern-day suspense. In the latest Wind River novel, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley are caught between two cultures that won't let go of the past--and a killer who won't leave any witnesses... The whole town of Lander has turned out for the big parade celebrating the start of the new rodeo season. The main spectacle this year is the appearance of Colonel Edward Garrett--a spot-on impersonator of General George Armstrong Custer--and a troop of men acting as the ill-fated Seventh Cavalry. The problem is they are being followed by a group of Arapaho warriors from the Wind River Reservation, who proceed to encircle Garrett and his men in a "dare ride" just to remind them exactly who won the Battle of the Little Bighorn. But when the ride is over, history seems to have repeated itself: Garrett is dead in the street with a bullet hole in his chest. No one is sure what happened, but public sentiment quickly turns against the Arapaho--and the prime suspect is Colin Morningside, a descendant of Crazy Horse. When a local attorney connected to Morningside disappears, the accusations only grow stronger. Father John O'Malley knows in his heart the Arapaho are not guilty. And Vicky Holden finds herself professionally and personally compromised from getting involved. But what begins as a murder soon reveals itself as a conspiracy that neither Father John nor Vicky could have foreseen. And someone wants to ensure that the truth they discover will die with them...

Killing Frost (A Garth Ryland Mystery #11)
by John R. RiggsIt was the time in late February and early March in south-central Wisconsin of freeze and thaw, clear cold nights and sunny days, sap running, and maple syrup pots boiling. When cow manure spread while the ground is still frozen begins its waft of springtime aroma. It should not have been a time when gentle people find a naked torso, minus head, hands, and feet. But there it was in a mound of plastic trash bags and discarded Pampers. For Garth Ryland, special deputy and editor of the Oakalla Reporter the discovery was the beginning of the most baffling mystery he had ever come across. For starters, who was the victim? No one in Oakalla was missing. And only a local would know to dump a body down the road from Amos Hogue's place and the dilapidated house of Stella, the self-proclaimed witch. Could the dead man have been involved with the epidemic of robberies plaguing Oakalla in the last few months? And did the town's two ne'er-do-wells, Bruce Barger and Jeremy Pitts, who were spending so much time drinking beer with Stella at the Corner Bar and Grill, have some involvement? The more Garth looked for answers, the more the questions piled up. John R. Riggs has once again filled his pages with small-town eccentrics and Middle America idiocycrancies, getting below the placid surface of Oakalla to the greed, lust, and hate roiling beneath. Killing Frost is the most intense and fulfilling Garth Ryland mystery to date and earns John R. Riggs a place alongside the masters of the genre--Dorothy Sayers, Raymond Chandler and P. D. James. John R. Riggs, who has been praised by The New York Times as a "writer with real imagination," lives in Indiana where he is a river researcher and an archivist. Look for more books in the Garth Ryland series about a mild mannered, ever curious and ethical owner of a small town newspaper in Wisconsin who introduces us to the numerous rural and town people he interviews as he investigates situations he just can't ignore. Through his eyes we see the everyday lives of the people he thinks he knows and their deeper, hidden lives he could never have imagined. This series affectionately showcases life in midamerica, more about the hearts of people than violence, a cozy for all mystery readers. Look for other titles in the Bookshare collection including #3 The Glory Hound, #4 Hunting Ground, #7 One Man's Poison, #8 Cold Letter, #9 A Dragon Lives Forever, #10 Cold Hearts and Gentle People, #12 Snow on the Roses and #13 He Who Waits, with more to come.
