With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other.

Enter a Washington reporter who has been following the organized crime investigation for months at its source, in DC. He and Deuce share a dark secret and he knows exactly where to apply pressure on her demons to keep her on the trail of her friend’s murderers.

Author: George Albert Brown Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 54 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: A budding cult classic that dramatically splits the reviewers. Which side will you be on? With a tour-de-force narration by the multi-award-winning Patrick Lawlor, who uses his uncompromising talent to bring every character to life with an astonishing vocal range. “A BIG, JOYOUS BOOK, WORTH READING SIMPLY FOR THE FUN OF IT.”—BLUE INK REVIEW “A ZANY, INVENTIVE, AND MULTILAYERED FEVER DREAM OF MURDER AND MAYHEM”—KIRKUS REVIEWS A seamless melding of (i) the intricate plotting of Umberto Eco in The Name of the Rose, (ii) the side-splitting humor of John Kennedy Toole in A Confederacy of Dunces, and (iii) the fabulous world of William Blake. In 1977, Ickey Jerusalem, San Francisco’s golden-boy poet laureate (based on Blake), is found dead in a locked, first-class toilet on an arriving red-eye flight. Ded Smith, a desperately unhappy, intelligent philistine with a highly developed philosophy to match, is called in to investigate the poet’s death. Thus begins a series of hilarious encounters with the members of Jerusalem’s coterie (updated amalgams of characters from Blake’s work). Ded soon realizes that to find out what happened, he must not only collect his usual detective’s clues but also, despite his own poetically challenged outlook, get into the dead poet’s mind. Fighting his way through blasphemous funerals, drug-induced dreams, poetry-charged love-making, offbeat philosophical discussions, and much, much more, he begins to piece together Jerusalem’s (Blake’s) seductive, all-encompassing metaphysics. But by then, the attempts to kill Ded and the others have begun. Before Ded’s death-dodging luck runs out, will he be able to solve the case, and perhaps, in the process, develop a new way of looking at the world that might allow him to replace his unhappiness with joy?

Title: [Spanish] - Agatha Raisin y la jardinera asesinada (Agatha Raisin 3) Series: #3 of [Spanish Edition] The Agatha Raisin Mysteries Author: M.C. Beaton Narrator: Raquel Jalón Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 17 minutes Release date: March 16, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: Una nueva entrega de la serie sobre Agatha Raisin, la heroína más aclamada del cosy crime con más de diez millones de lectores en todo el mundo. De vuelta a los Cotswolds tras unas largas vacaciones, Agatha Raisin descubre que el objeto de todas sus fantasías, el atractivo James Lacey, ha caído bajo el hechizo de una recién llegada al pueblo. Elegante y divertida, Mary Fortune es también una jardinera excepcional, y su triunfo en las inminentes jornadas de puertas abiertas de los Jardines de Carsely se da casi por seguro. Sin embargo, cuando la bella Mary Fortune es encontrada muerta, enterrada cabeza abajo en un macetero, Agatha Raisin vuelve a la carga para desenmascarar al asesino. La crítica ha dicho... «Aguda, ingeniosa, extremadamente inteligente, infaliblemente entretenida... M. C. Beaton ha creado un tesoro nacional.» The Times «Con un aire a Miss Marple, Raisin es una heroína verdaderamente entrañable, originalmente sensible y maravillosamente excéntrica.» Booklist «La narración es muy entretenida, su autora nos regala una estructura muy bien definida, donde misterio, amor y mucho humor se entremezclan formando un coctel atrevido. El estilo tan característico y personal se traduce en una novela de misterio, muy del estilo de Agatha Christie, presentándonos un género policiaco diferente, donde los casos son los que buscan a la protagonista. Su lectura es fresca y dinámica, muy recomendable para pasar un buen rato jugando a los detectives.» Letras en vena «Lo cierto es que la lectura ideal para leer en una o dos tardes y para colar entre lecturas más densas. Después de tres entregas creo que puedo decir bien alto, que soy fan incondicional de Agatha Raisin y sus aventuras.» Marta entre libros

Title: MESSAGE in the FIRE Series: #2 of Messages of Murder Author: Dawn Merriman Narrator: Gina Rogers, Matt Godfrey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: Psychic visions are tricky things—especially from a woman in a coma I find the murdered woman crumpled under a tree. Blood stains her back and her hands are bound. If I touch her, my psychic abilities will show me what happened to her. But I've lived through murders before, and the visions leave scars. Fighting my fear, I touch her—and only see four names—Addlynn Jeanette Claire Margaret. The unmistakable cry of a newborn infant shatters the calm of the woods. Her body is wrapped around the tiny boy, impossibly small and fragile. I scoop up the screaming infant, and the woman moves to protect her son. She's alive. Alive, but in a coma—a complete mystery. The detectives, my brother and his handsome partner, desperately need information. I'm the only one who can communicate with the woman. Touching her hand in the hospital provides only snippets of her life. Terrifying snippets, like how she got the scar burned into the palm of her hand. Visions are tricky things. The details float like smoke—lost in the haze. I can't tell what she's running from, but the woman's terror burns inside me. I will find out who hurt her, and I won't stop until I bring them to a fiery end.

Jack Marconi Author: Vincent Zandri Narrator: Joe Hempel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 54 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: They call him Keeper, but lately Jack Marconi has specialized in losing things. Just last year, he lost his wife in a mysterious traffic accident, and ever since, he's felt like he's losing his mind. As the warden of the maximum security Green Haven Prison, home to 2,500 of New York's most hardened criminals, Marconi can't afford to drop focus, even for an instant. But he's been slipping up on the job, and he's tormented by flashbacks to the Attica uprising. All of which makes him ripe for the role of patsy when a convicted cop killer named Eduardo Vasquez stages a daring breakout on his watch. From the start, Marconi suspects an inside job. What he doesn't suspect is that he'll become the target of a frame-up. Soon drugs are planted in Marconi's office, embarrassing photos are circulated, and he finds himself facing trumped-up charges of obstruction of justice. With his supervisors clearly setting him up to take the fall, Marconi hatches a desperate scheme to clear his name. Kidnapping the escaped killer's girlfriend, he arms himself with a .45 and takes off in pursuit of Vasquez—and the truth. Once sworn to uphold the law, Marconi will have to elude it if he wants to bring this conspiracy to light. Otherwise Keeper could lose everything: his job, his reputation—and even his life.
