Here are a few thrillers for my murder and mayhem lovers to check out for spring.
Who Do You Love? And How Far Would You Go…..To Save Her?
In a split second state police trooper, Tessa Leoni had to decide to shoot her husband, Brian Darby. When Det. D.D. Warren arrives on the scene to what should be an open and shut case since Tessa claims to have shot her husband in self defense and she has the bruises to confirm the story Det. Warren learns that the six-year old daughter is missing. Det. Warren knows that Tessa is not telling the full truth about what happened that day in the kitchen but just cannot put her finger on it. “Would a trained police officer really shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?’
For Tessa the nightmare is just beginning….she has one goal and that is find her daughter but who can she trust to help her? She knows she must use all of her training and every trick in the book to do what she has to do, no sacrifice to great and no action unthinkable. She, as a mother, knows who she loves and will stop at nothing to save her daughter and make those who destroyed her family pay for what they have done.
The Informationist by Taylor Stevens
Corporations Need Her. Governments Pay Her. Criminals Fear Her. But Nobody Sees Her Coming.
Move over Lisbeth here is Vanessa Michael Munroe….If you need to find out well basically anything the person to hire is Michael Munroe. She has her own unique brand of expertise, she deals with information. She grew up in central Africa with missionary parents where she soon rebelled and took up with gunrunners and mercenaries at age 14 where she gained the respect of some of the jungles most notorious criminals until a violent incident made her go on the run. After a decade of building a new life and very lucrative career in Dallas she gets an offer that she just cannot refuse. Four years ago a Texas oil billionaire’s daughter disappeared in Africa and has never been heard from since. After years of searching and coming up with nothing Munroe is his last hope for closure but for her it is more than just another job. Munroe will need to return to the land of her childhood and the people she turned her back on when she ‘ran away’. As she becomes more and more caught up in the mystery of the missing girl she begins to wonder if she herself will be able to make it out of the jungle again.
As we know from Cain’s third novel, female serial killer, Gretchen Lowell, has been caught (again) and is spending her time in jail. Police detective, Archie Sheridan is recovering from his physical and mental wounds and trying to basically get his life back in order. Reporter, Susan Ward, has just written a story about a flood that happened in Portland over 60 years ago, because the Willamette River is currently threatening the city again. So far three people have drowned but the most recent victim (who was found propped up on a merry go round ostrich in the amusement park) is discovered to have been poisoned before she went in the water. After checking the other ‘drowning victims’ it is soon realized that Portland has a new serial killer on its hands and Archie and his task force are following the very strange clues with Susan hot on the trail of the story and of course finding herself too close to the danger.
