Description:

A lawyer in 1899 Vienna hunts for a killer stalking the opera house and Gustav Mahler in this historical mystery from the author of The Empty Mirror."What Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for Victorian London and Caleb Carr did for old New York, Sydney Jones does for historic Vienna." —Karen Harper, New York Times–bestselling author of the Queen Elizabeth I mystery seriesAt first it seemed like a series of accidents plagued Vienna's Court Opera. But after a singer is killed during rehearsals of a new production, the evidence suggests something much more dangerous. Someone is trying to murder the famed conductor and composer Gustav Mahler. Worse, Mahler might not be the first musical genius to be dispatched by this unknown killer.Alma Schindler, one of Mahler's many would-be mistresses, asks the lawyer and aspiring private investigator Karl Werthen to help stop the attacks. With his new wife, Berthe, and his old friend, the criminologist Hanns Gross, Werthen delves into Vienna's rich society of musicians to discover the identity of the person who has targeted one of Austria's best-known artists.Set during the peak of Vienna's cultural renaissance and featuring some of the city's most colorful residents, Requiem in Vienna is a perfect historical fiction. Rich in description and populated by vivid characters, this is a mystery that will leave readers guessing until the very last moment."Smoothly blends a compelling period whodunit with bountiful cultural and social details." —Publishers Weekly"This is a rich, beautifully written historical mystery, with a unique setting and a compelling lead. The author's use of real people—Mahler, Gross, and painter Gustav Klimt among them—gives the book the feel of actual history, and his careful re-creation of the Viennese setting transports us to the place and time. A first-class historical mystery that builds on the promise of its predecessor." —Booklist (starred review)

Description:

Lady Katherine only has one week to catch the Pink-Ribbon Killer. Not only to stop the killing, but also to prove her skills at detection to her father and win her dowry and independence.

There’s only one catch—she has to take one last matchmaking job to do it. Never mind that the match is impossible—all the better because if she fails, then no one will seek her services again. The job provides the perfect cover, especially when her peculiar investigatory techniques are mistaken for unconventional matchmaking attempts.

Things would go a lot smoother if she weren’t knee-deep in suspects and thwarted at every turn by a rival matchmaker. But when the killer strikes again, Katherine’s investigation leads down a dangerous path. Too late, she discovers that she has a lot more to lose than her dowry.

VINE VOICE 5 STAR REVIEW
Someone is killing the citizens of Hildebrandt, Texas, and carving perplexing numbers on the bodies. Police Officer Marla Adams has never wanted to be the lead investigator of a major crime, but when her father, the police chief, struggles with mental illness and second in command, her husband Detective Crosby Adams, battles his own demons with drugs and alcohol, she is pressed to take control. Everyone expects her to fail.

Marla charges headlong to save her community from destruction and chases leads near home, across Texas, and halfway around the globe to Montenegro. But Marla is losing the battle and her will. The town is right. They're doomed. She doesn't stand a chance of finding the killer.

Until a secret is revealed. One that might break the case wide open and place her squarely in the sights of the monster taking lives in her backyard.

Description:

Justice... Such a subjective thing.

A UN worker intent on revolution, a serial killer bent on revenge, and, between the two, an increasingly disillusioned Met detective. All have their own ideas of what justice should look like – even if DC Brook Deelman was only hoping for a quiet pint when events intervened.

Now, three people with very different goals are on a collision course in London. A situation that will hit closer to home than anything Brook has ever known.

When the stakes are high enough, people will go to great lengths to see their version of justice triumph.

Within the law or outside it.
