MURDER AT AN IRISH WEDDING
An Irish Village Mystery
Carlene OConnor
Carlene OConnor returns with her second cozy mystery and the OSullivan clan of
County Cork, Ireland, who are thrilled to be catering the matrimonial affairs of a celebrity
coupleuntil a cunning killer turns an Irish wedding into an Irish wake
Any wedding is a big deal in the small village of Kilbaneeven more so when the bride is a famous fashion model. Its also
good for business. Not only has customer traffic picked up at Naomis Bistro, Siobhn OSullivan and her five siblings have
a full plate catering for the threeday affair. And Siobhns own beau, local garda Macdara Flannery, gladly steps in as best
man after the grooms first choice makes a drunken arse out of himself.
Even if he hadnt been disinvited to the wedding, the original best man wouldnt have been able to show. Hes been found
murdered in the woods, casting a pall over the nuptials. And when a second member of the wedding party is poisoned by a
champagne flute engraved with Macdaras name, the garda goes from being best man to prime suspect.
With a killer at large and a string of robberies plaguing Kilbane, Siobhn feels more than a little protective of her village.
She vows to clear Macdaras name, but the suspect list is as long as the guest list. Like the bride walking down the aisle,
Siobhn needs to watch her step. For as she gets closer to unveiling the truth, the murderer is planning a very chilly
reception for her

STRANGLER
Corey Mitchell
To the outside world, Anthony Allen Shore was an average guy: a twicedivorced father
who drove a tow truck in suburban Houston. Handsome and charismatic, he generally kept
a low profile. But in his mind he was a superstar
A musical prodigy who never realized his potential, Shore found a way to outsmart societyby getting away with murder.
And he wanted the whole world to know it. After brutally killing a 16yearold girl, he called the local NBC affiliate and told
an editor precisely where to find her body.
Eight years passed before DNA evidence caught up with Shore. Subsequent police investigations revealed a violent
megalomaniac who had sexually abused his own daughters. He confessed to murdering four females, one only nine
years old. And he hinted at many, many moreleading authorities to believe that Anthony Allen Shore could even be the
notorious I45 Serial Killer, whose bloody legacy had earned for one Texas highway the grisly moniker Corridor of Blood.
Bestselling author Corey Mitchell recounts the case from its twisted beginnings to its chilling conclusion
Praise for Strangler

Theres a saying that if you come from my part of town, youre from around the way.
Around the Way Girls 10, like its predecessors, is a fastpaced look at the lives of some
streetsmart women who think they know it all but are about to get the lessons of

What doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. For Katara, that statement is the furthest thing from the truth. Dealing with
her mothers cancer, a special needs child, and a physically abusive husband that cheats on her at will, she is slowly losing

an easy escape from reality soon turns out to be a fate she wouldnt wish on her worst enemy.
Shay isnt for the games when it comes to selfpreservation. Being abused by her stepfather since the age of ten, the teen
has finally had enough. Her mother chooses not to listen to her pleas for help, which becomes a deadly mistake. Shay is
soon arrested for manslaughter and sent away until her twentyfirst birthday. Once shes released back on the streets of
Detroit, Shay is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, as she vows to never let anything or anyone hurt her again.
Ajanay Holmes, Sheika Jones, and London Smith were born and raised in Whitcomb Courts, one of Richmond, Virginias
most ruthless housing projects. Faced with horrific home lives, all three girls turn to the streets and each other for comfort.
Ajanay concocts a plan for them to use their voluptuous bodies and their sharp mouths to get money out of Amir, one of the
biggest dope boys from a rival housing project. However, Amir is a stonecold killer with a long criminal history, and she has
put them in harms way with no solid plan on how to escape. Will their love and loyalty for one another keep them together,
