Hi, everybody!
Yesterday I got my hands properly in the dirt for the first time this year, digging out a new
flowerbed. My shoulders are reminding me every move I make!
Our peaches, pears, and blueberries are blooming as hard as they can, and the daffodils are at their peak. Has spring arrived out your way, or are you still frozen solid?
Mr Mottley's next adventure is perking along, and it's set in summertime, so I'm sending along an excerpt to warm you up. Also in today's newsletter we've got: - A review of Rhys Bowens' On
Her Majesty's Frightfully Secret Service (part of her immensely popular Royal Spyness Series);
- A special discount on Book 2, Mr Mottley & the Dying Fall; and
- 2 new featured mystery/thrillers.
Enjoy!

The Plunge by Jane Thornley
|
Mottley fans should enjoy this fast-paced comedy thriller full of international intrigue. Check it out:
Truth or consequence. For Phoebe McCabe, it's not a choice, but a reckoning
For gallery owner Phoebe McCabe, life would be perfect if crime didn’t
run in her family—literally. Both her brother and her love interest are Robin Hood thieves hunted by Interpol for stealing from the black market and giving to museums, an idea almost noble enough for Phoebe to live with. Only she can't. Once she begins questioning how much of the stolen treasures actually reach their intended destinations, Phoebe is caught in a vortex of danger and deceit.
She races to Italy to investigate accompanied by her favorite
friend-who-can’t-be-trusted, Sir Rupert Fox, and, Max, her godfather. Clues plunge them into the jungles of Jamaica, entangle them in secrets and lies, and finally force Phoebe to face what she's been avoiding all along. Saving her own neck is not the endgame.
"Some very unexpected twists and turns rev up the storyline. Its one of those books where you'll say 'I'll read just a little more' and before you know it, it's one in the morning. This was definitely
worth waiting for, so don't miss it!" --Amazon reviewer

Masked Intentions by Tom Bierdz
|
On an edgier note, let me introduce my friend Tom. He's a real-life retired psychotherapist who's created a series of mystery-thrillers featuring a psychiatrist as the detective. The latest is Book 3 in the Grant Garrick
series: A conflicted psychiatrist. A murdered author. To see past the fiction, he’ll have to delve into the mind of a killer…And, remember that’s he’s bound by doctor-patient confidentiality… Grant Garrick has sworn to do no harm. When the psychiatrist saves a drunk man from the streets, he’s just following his code. But he never expected his new friend, Toby, would be the fifth
husband of a famed and fabulously wealthy romance author. And Toby never expected to find his sex-addicted wife dead in the guesthouse bedroom… Convinced of Toby’s innocence, Grant enlists the help of his attorney friend, Carrie, to clear Toby’s name. After a series of false starts that take him all the way to Mexico, a new suspect is put behind bars. But did the jury convict the real killer? Masked Intentions is a mind-bending standalone mystery thriller in a series featuring psychiatrist
Grant Garrick. If you like edge-of-your-seat suspense, psychological undertones, and stunning endings, then you’ll love Tom Bierdz’s gripping whodunnit. Buy Masked Intentions to start the pulse-pounding mystery
today!
