Vote for Murder by Jacqueline Beard

Title: Vote for Murder

Blurb:

In the Spring of 1911, suffragist Louisa Russell finds an old diary in a box of artefacts, while attending a census evasion night at the Old Museum in Ipswich. The diary recounts the last days of Mary Emily Cage, executed for the murder of her husband six decades earlier. When Louisa’s next door neighbour, Charles Drummond, dies under suspicious circumstances, the parallels between the two deaths become impossible to ignore. But can two deaths sixty years apart be linked? And can Louisa find the poisoner before an innocent woman is convicted? Vote for murder is based on a real poisoning by Suffolk murderess, Mary Cage. Set in Ipswich in 1911, the novel brings together suffragism in the early 1900’s and a grisly, Victorian murder. Vote for Murder will appeal to readers of historical fiction, genealogical mysteries and Suffolk based crime books.

A Fine Line the Beginning by JC Brennan

Title: A Fine Line the Beginning

Blurb:

When you are a soldier, the thought of getting back to your family, without being surrounded by a pine box, is what keeps you going. This line of thinking was no different for William T. Healthaway, a Union soldier fighting in the battle of Pickett's Mill . However, William would find out living through this battle would only throw him into a whirlwind of an abnormal variety of hell. He had no way of knowing he had a more sinister war awaiting him when and if he did return home. The war awaiting his homecoming was a war that had been raging for hundreds of years; a war that would lead him into a world he had never known or believed existed.

After his commitment to a battle of freedom, William is vaulted into a merciless coldblooded war of the ancients. He is plunged into a world of mystery filled with intrigue, deception, death, temptation, and powers. He finds himself in a world that takes him beyond any reality he once had known. He becomes aware that his friends and their relationships are not by chance but they have been brought together by forces beyond their wildest imagination. However, with every miraculous power revealed comes with sinister evil.

In the ongoing Fine Line story, A Fine Line the Ancients, the Crew has figured out how different they are from other humans. Their ties to the ancient tribe had given them powers. But, not even, the powers bestowed on them cannot prepare them for what happens next. The secrets of the ancients are slowly revealed but with each secrete exposed there is a price.
The crew is not prepared for what is before them when they learn the past they had thought to be true has been forged. The astonishing truth will either make the crew stronger or tear them apart and the weight of this lies on William’s shoulders. He knows if he is unsuccessful in keeping the crew together the consequences will be dire for humanity.
As more of the ancient’s secrets are revealed, the crew is finding it difficult to imagine all that lies in wait for them. They are not prepared when they learn who their rival, the future dark queen, actually is. With this new knowledge, complications begin to mount and how to deal with her commanding undying blood lust for revenge; a revenge that is filled with an unparalleled malevolent hatred which will cost the crew dearly in the end. How will the crew handle the merciless blood thirsty battles the impending dark queen incites? Who will live and who will die in the continuing story of A Fine Line, The Ancients part I?

Hidden From the Face of Humans; A Mystery of the Last Egyptian Dynasty by Susan J Slack

Title: Hidden From the Face of Humans; A Mystery of the Last Egyptian Dynasty

Blub:

Who Killed the High Priestess Thermafi?
Palace intrigue . . . sibling rivalries . . . mysticism . . . and murder.
Hidden From the Face of Humans is a sweeping epic that brings to vivid life the last native Egyptian dynasty of 400 BCE. Behind the banquets and the festivities, the world-changing battles and maneuvers, are the great powers of the day: the pharaohs of Egypt, Plato of Athens, Persian King Artaxerxes, and Spartan King Agesilaus.
Moving serenely amidst the political turmoil is Thermafi, an Egyptian Priestess of Isis who, like the Magi of the Middle Eastern deserts and the oracles at Delphi, travels the ancient, timeless path of the unseen. Thermafi seeks no power for herself, but she is privy to the secrets of the powerful. As the beloved confidante of the pharaoh and revered teacher of the heirs to the Egyptian throne, Thermafi has hidden enemies—and someone wants her dead.
A tour de force dramatizing actual events and characters, Hidden from the Face of Humans offers ingenious solutions to longtime historical mysteries—and a page-turning entertainment.

Amongst The Killing by Joe Compton

Title: Amongst The Killing

Blurb:

There are 2 sides to every story...

For as long as he could remember Detective Charles Street wanted to be a police officer, moreover a Detective. He wanted to be knee deep in the action, working the biggest cases, and reaping the biggest rewards. He also didn’t think when his dream job came a calling that it would ever turn into his nightmare.

For as long as he could remember Jack Casey just wanted to be free, his own man to do what he pleased when pleased. He too craved the action and when his dream life came a calling, he didn’t think he would meet anyone his equal and definitely didn’t think he could ever have difficulty leave the world he loathed and mocked behind.

Amongst The Killing documents each of their stories, told in their own words, as the moments unfolded when their paths first crossed and their lives intersected. How two men, with two different philosophies, could be so different and yet so connected.

As the ultimate cat and mouse game unfolds, each has to deal separately with the others decisions and the effects it has in turning their lives sideways and upside down. Will one of them crack? Will one of them even succeed? Ultimately the journey may mean more than the game and show both of them the outcome neither was ever expecting.
