The first gripping title in a brand new detective series A woman’s body lies in the heather, her neck broken. Her horse watches nervously from a few paces away. Despite looking like an accident, it doesn’t take long for DI Callum MacLean, newly arrived in Hampshire from Glasgow, to establish she was murdered. Nor does it take DS Daisy Donaldson, appearing soon after on horseback, long to identify the victim. Mary-Ellen Mitchell was a well-known and seemingly well-liked businesswoman, married to a respected local artist, and part of the close-knit community. The Scottish detective must adapt quickly to his new team, his past experience of policing a tough city jarring with the pace of Fordingbridge and their peculiar ways. But having hoped for respite in the south, and although made welcome by Daisy, Callum soon feels like he’s being used as a pawn in someone else’s game. However, if Callum can evade the pitfalls and marshal his team, they may well catch the wily killer hiding in the shadows of the woods. MURDER IN THE NEW FOREST is the first novel in a series of mysteries by Carol Cole who, with beautiful prose, deftly transports the reader into the rich tapestry of the southern landscape. This skilfully crafted story will keep you guessing until the end. The second book in the series, titled STRAW IN THE WIND, is also available from Amazon. Both are FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback and hardback.

From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the REVENGE Series and the TANNER Series ALIBI: MURDER – A thrilling murder mystery with deadly twists, romance, and a shocking finale A man accused of murder has the perfect alibi—he was killing someone else. John Beckett stands accused of the brutal murder of his wife, but he knows the truth: he is innocent. However, his alibi only makes things worse—he was committing premeditated murder at the time of his wife’s death. As the evidence stacks against him and the investigation, led by a driven female detective, grows more intense, Beckett must face the horrifying reality that someone has framed him for his wife’s murder. Was it the police chief, a jilted lover seeking revenge on Laura for leaving him to be with Beckett? Or perhaps the town’s notorious peeping tom, whose twisted desires may have turned violent? Beckett’s own brother-in-law, an alcoholic with a history of violence, could also be a suspect. And then there’s his alluring young neighbor, who claims to know the truth about Laura’s death—but she carries a knife and may not be as innocent as she seems. As Beckett fights to clear his name and stay out of prison, he finds himself drawn to his beautiful defense attorney. But as their attraction grows stronger, so does the danger surrounding them. Will they discover the true killer before it’s too late? Or will Beckett be sentenced to a life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit? With each passing day, Beckett’s fate hangs in the balance as he desperately tries to unravel the web of lies and deceit surrounding his wife’s death. The tension builds as secrets are uncovered and dark motives are revealed, leading to a shocking climax both inside and outside of the courtroom, which will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Can Beckett find justice and clear his name, or will he become another casualty in a deadly game of betrayal and revenge?
