From my desk

Aug 6, 2019
Hello and welcome to McNicol Mysteries: Murderous Intentions & More. It's been extremely warm here in middle Tennessee, even though we are at a higher altitude. I have spent most of my time inside, enjoying the air conditioning. I hope your weather has been what you enjoy!

I have sent out emails to the winners in my July giveaway and since it was so much fun, I've decided to do another one for August. You could win a signed paperback copy of my first mystery novel, Not a Whisper.

I hope you will share this newsletter with your friends. I appreciate the support.

All the best, 
Donna

A LITTLE MYSTERY

Providence in Ecuador | Scarlett Braden & Sloan Moorland

“The only way out is death.”

She needed out. By any means. But she preferred to stay alive, if she could.

A new home a world away introduced Abby to a life she never could have imagined. And then it became clear: there was no place on earth safe from her jealous, psychotic ex-husband.

Cole Grey had blood on his hands. Abby was his intended prey. How many would he have to kill to get to her? 

After all, the thrill is in the chase.

Get book one in the series and I bet you'll want to read books two and three!

New Mystery Series | JB Lynn

I am a HUGE fan of JB Lynn's "Neurotic Hitwoman" series. Funny and quirky, full of fascinating characters - I buy every book in the series.

She has started a new series and I can't wait for the release on August 22nd. You can pre-order One Woman's Junk (Psychic Consignment Mysteries) now.

Here's a synopsis:
When their beloved godmother dies suddenly, the Concordia sisters converge on the beach town of Sarasota, Florida to mourn the passing of the woman who raised them. While there, they must scatter her ashes as instructed and decide what to do with her consignment shop, One Woman’s Junk.

Navigating her relationships with her older sisters is hard enough for Beatrice, but after they’re all struck by lightning, things get more complicated in the land of sun and sand. With the power of a newly inherited crystal ring, Bea is suddenly assailed by psychic visions when she touches certain objects.

When her godmother is posthumously accused of having stolen a designer purse (which Bea knows darn well is a knock-off – thank you very much), Bea becomes obsessed with proving her innocence. 

Contending with a physical injury, challenging family dynamics, and business headaches, Bea struggles to harness and understand her visions.

With the help of an unusual new “friend” and the sexy carpenter next door, she’s determined to clear Letty’s good name.

But doing so may be a bad decision. One that could cost her not only her relationship with her sisters…but her life.

Free Mystery with Newsletter Subscription | Amanda Fino

My worst fear was those woods; my greatest fear had once been him. A sexy chilling and addicting thriller.

She was an innocent, heading for her illustrious private boarding school in the best tradition of the grandmother who raised her — having the blessing of the father who adored her. Forsaken by her mother soon after birth, she had made lifelong friends in a protective, privileged, Portland society.

Arriving in Radcliffe Heights, Rhode Island, freshman Peony “Poppy” Calloway admired the picturesque small town. But deep in the shadows of the woods near Blue Bell Boarding School, and along its hallowed halls, lurked illicit sex, murder, and harrowing danger. Seduced by Jordan Dashwood, the handsome, blue-eyed, white blonde Headmaster, Poppy enters a world of love, ecstasy, heartbreak, betrayal, and death.
