But the cottage holds a secret, dating back to World War II, and Jeanne becomes drawn into discovering more.

An atmospheric and tantalising read” — Elizabeth Bailey The Gilded Shroud ” ‘Anne’s characters are well formed and likeable (or unlikeable as the case may be)… The two types of story intertwine without the awkwardness sometimes found in this genre. A pleasant diversion” — Chris Wible The Shepherd’s Image ‘I’ve never been to Guernsey but I’m determined to go now that I’ve read this book. It’s a book you can settle into and really enjoy, but it’s a lot more than chick-lit. There’s an intriguing mystery, a finish which had me reading into the early hours of the morning and an insight into what I think of as the back-end of the publishing industry – the bit that the reader never sees or even knows exists. It’s delivered with a light touch but gives the book real depth. I was impressed. ‘ — Bookbag.co.uk

Read in browser » FREE- International Thriller in “Beverly Hills is Burning” by Neil Russell By RP Dahlke on Aug 02, 2014 06:00 am  August 2-3, 2014 Rail Black, a former Delta Force operator, is rich and lives in Beverly Hills. But unlike many wealthy people in the world’s entertainment capital, Rail is not in show business. In fact he avoids it all costs. Until now. Doing a favor for an ex-con producer, Rail ends up the owner of a movie company. And there’s nothing fun about this place. Nor about Valentine Jones, the actress who is about to star in the company’s biggest picture. From ninety years in the past, a time when gangsters and tycoons roamed Hollywood and scratched each other’s wallets, Rail is thrust into a labyrinth of murder, duplicity, money, sex and power. Set in Southern California, New York, Venice, Havana, Mexico, and Cyprus, Rail must disentangle the past from the present and come to terms with his feelings for Barrie Fontaine, a long dead woman–and extraordinarily brave pilot– he has never met. And somewhere out there is Matty Aspirins, a hitman on a mission all his own. Welcome to Beverly Hills is Burning. There will be no intermission.  See what reviewers are saying: “Neil Russell is the king of adventure thrillers…BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING is a tour-de-force of hot action, cool suspense, and steamy sex. …a once-in-a-lifetime ride with producers, screenwriters, Mafia hitmen, and money. Lots of money. You’ll love this book.” Gayle Lynds, New York Times Bestselling Author “I just want to tell you what a joy it was to dig into BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING. I loved the way the two plot lines dovetailed so effortlessly. Your knowledge of old Hollywood made my favorite era in the town come to life. laughed out loud so many times, I couldn’t keep count! Your dialogue so reminds me of Raymond Chandler. I felt he was your “ghost.” Every time I came across one of your many metaphorical gems, I had to post it on Facebook. I’ve got you up there as one of my five favorite writers (including Chandler, as you already know); toss in F. Scott, Le Carre, and Martin Cruz Smith, and there you have my perfect poker game. And either you or Chandler would be winner take all, no doubt about it. Seriously, you are my new fave regarding dialogue…” Josie Brown Bestselling Author, The Housewife Assassin Series Read in browser » 99 cents - 5 novels-1 Boxed Set in “Killer Femmes” 5 highly reviewed authors By RP Dahlke on Aug 02, 2014 05:22 am August 2-31, 2014 5 highly reviewed, multi-published authors Easy Innocence by Libby Fischer Hellmann Cross Current by Christine Kling The Flower Master by Sujata Massey Killer Instinct by Zoë Sharp Louisiana Hotshot by Julie Smith

See what reviewers are saying; I just ordered this set for my Kindle, and I can hardly wait to start reading. And the main draw for me, at least until I read the entire set, is Sujata Massey’s The Flower Master When I first read The Flower Master in 2003, I was entranced. Eleven years later, I still remember the book. All of Sujata Massey’s works have stayed with me–she is that good. Here is what I wrote on Amazon at that time…I am looking forward to adding my comments on the other authors in this boxed set!” Wendy Kaplan This is a review only for Libby Fischer Hellmann’s Easy Innocence only, but I have loved all of these books by Sujata Massey, Julie Smith, Zoe Sharp, and Christine Kling, so I would highly recommend them all!” Cindy Chow  Read in browser » 99cents-Crime Novel-in “At Their Own Game” by Frank Zafiro By RP Dahlke on Aug 02, 2014 05:19 am - August 2-31, 2014 Jake Stankovic has been flying below the radar for years, dealing safely in stolen property crime with his two-man crew. But times are tough, so he decides to step up to the big money with a drug deal. Everything that can go wrong, does. The deal goes bad, a vengeful detective sets his sights on Jake, one of his crew might be a turncoat, and a woman from a long past affair suddenly reappears. All of this would be complicated enough on its own, but for Jake, it’s even worse. The woman is the detective’s ex-wife. And Jake Stankovic used to be a cop. Now Jake must face new problems and old vendettas in an all-in proposition with lives on the line. He has to find a way to get his money back, keep the girl, and beat everyone involved…At Their Own Game.  See what reviewers are saying:  “A brief, tight, criminally intense story of destructive behavior masked by “good” intentions, AT THEIR OWN GAME puts its finger right on the pulse of the ever-sinful human heart.” - Ned Hayes, author of SINFUL FOLK. “The gritty and tension filled story has a rich and authentic tone that just makes it feel all too real from start to finish.”- L. Collins “The implications of Jake’s actions force the reader to think about important moral issues in a way that elevates the story beyond just an entertaining caper story to being a profound examination of good, evil, betrayal, revenge and many other things that have been central to human existence since the dawn of history.”- Brian Triplett, Examiner.com  Only 0.99 cents Click on Covers   Read in browser » Recent Articles: 99cents-Boxed set of 3 Novels”Gotcha Detective Agency Mysteries”-Boxed Set by Jamie Lee Scott 99cents Mystery Humor Boxed Set in “Die Laughing” 5 Comic Crime Novels 99cents in “Bed of Bones” by Cheryl Bradshaw 99cents-Romantic Suspense in “Hard Target” by Barbara Phinney FREE – Mystery in “RIPOFF” by Morgan St. James and Caroline Rowe
