***1ST PLACE WINNER for MYSTERY/THRILLER in THE BELLE AME AWARDS 2K18! *** What if you could feel people's secret emotions? And you went and tried to use it to catch murderers. (Maybe this wasn't the best plan...) Mark Falcon has a secret. He can "vibe" other people's emotions... and they're usually super painful. Up to now, he's kept his power secret. But at the funeral for a pilot who dies on a mysterious solo flight, he senses a secret hate. He knows he's vibed the murderer .. but he can't tell who it was. He'll need to learn to use his power for real, and fast, if he wants to hunt the killer. The good news: he's got me. I'm Pete, his super-cheerful new sidekick/housemate. The bad news: our local cop detective thinks Mark is crazy. Also, her default mode is Angry Viking Goddess. And the last thing she wants is some delusional "psychic" playing amateur sleuth. (Not to mention hitting on her.) With the cops threatening jail, small-town secrets threatening Mark's sanity, and a crazy-gorgeous doctor suspect threatening my heart, time's running out for Mark and I to catch the killer... Before the killer catches us.

Pretty on the outside may not mean pretty on the inside. Parke Stockard was certainly sitting pretty. Blessed with good looks and business sense to boot, she should have been content. Instead, Parke makes trouble in her small town. When retired octogenarian schoolteacher Myrtle Clover discovers her body, no one in Bradley is particularly upset. Myrtle decides to show up her police chief son and investigate the crime herself. And, just in time to play detective, she meets a widower newcomer who proves the perfect sidekick.

This is one book club meeting that doesn't go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter's dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people's husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle's investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son's by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer...before he writes them off for good? (This mystery will be uploaded on Wednesdays. If you can't wait for the next installment, the completed book can be found on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/o6wn4sk ) . The series is also available on Amazon India: https://tinyurl.com/ohdbffq .

Bullets fly, bombs explode, and the number of murder victims keeps rising. When Solomon goes missing, the tables are turned. Now his future is in Daisy's hands.
