I have picked my own choice of Joffe Books’ new titles for this week. But trust me, it was quite a task as they are all so scrumptious. Let’s start with the book of the week. 

A Body in the Cottage which is a gripping crime mystery full of twists from bestselling author P.F. Ford and is out for — just £0.99 * 

A woman is left badly beaten in a derelict cottage. Then the killer comes forward — an elderly man. Case closed.  But as another body is discovered, Detective Norman suspects a false confession . . . and that the real killer is still at large. It’s up to you to turn those pages to find out who dun it…

Below you will find my pick of the the rest. But crikey, talk about dithering. It’s so hard to choose, they are all such satisfying reads. But here we go:

 

      
Jack  Knife by Steve Parker £0.99/$0.99

It’s 1975. A young woman is found disembowelled by the side of a road. Detective Bill Roach will spend the next fifty years searching for the serial killer: Now, unsuccessful and ageing in a retirement home, eighty-year-old Bill might just be the closest he’s ever been to discovering the secret. This is an original take on crime. Read and chew your nails.

The Bluebonnet Betrayal by Marty Wingate £0.99/$0.99   As you all know by now I am a sucker for cozy crime. Blame M.C. Beaton and her glorious Agatha Raisin series. Here is a belter from Marty Wingate, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR: beautiful blooms, a fabulous guestlist — and one dead body. Had Pru’s dream of working at the Chelsea Flower Show just turned into a nightmare?  But she won’t give up — not on the show or the hunt for the murderer. So very there…

Now, what about The Frank Doy Thrillers in this eleven book box set? That’s right, eleven books all with great characters, plot lines to die for – oops – well you know what I mean. All with a dash of  of humour too.  I thought them in the mould of Lee Child, Michael Connelly and Michael Grant.  Great price at £1.99/$2.99. On we rush:

New from Choc Lit:

 

            

Lucy Keeling’s ‘Friends’ box set – whether you like soft or hard centres there is something for all: slow-burn romances to friends-to-lovers and fake relationships:  £0.99/$0.99

Hanukkah at the Great Greenwich Ice Creamery by Sharon Ibbotson

Is it trite to say, help yourselves to a scoop of delight? Probably, but I’ve said it because I loved it, almost as much as I love pistachio ice cream. Surly New Yorker Cohen Ford has a sweet surprise in store when he visits London and the Great Greenwich Ice Creamery one December.  Little does he know that his life is about to change . . .   £0.99/$0.99

Now, what’s new at LUME?

                  

Kingfisher by Christopher C. Tubbs £0.99/$0.99   – historical naval adventure which really  gripped me as Ralph Wrenn, officer on HMS Kingfisher, navigated mayhem and terror, as he endeavoured to capture pirate vessels in the Mediterranean. But when Ralph meets a beautiful young woman, he must keep his wits about him — there is more to her than meets the eye. Never a dull moment.

Postman’s Knock by J.F. Straker £0.99/$0.99  is a classic British murder mystery as Detective Inspector Pitt is called to unravel the disappearance of the local postman. But the local residents are unwilling to help . . . they’ve all got something to hide. So, can Pitt dig deep and find the culprit before anyone else dies? Oh, go on, read it.

Now, a newbie coming on 24th October, and as I’m fond of Marlow I must mention it. 

The Marlow Murders by Biba Pearce £0.99/$0.99 is a great crime mystery: Debby Morris, mother of two, goes to a Christmas party at the historic Hollyhock Manor in Marlow . . .   And never comes home. Is it a planned disappearance or something more sinister?


Finally, a look at Joffe Books’ NEWS

Publishing Director Kate Lyall Grant is delighted to have signed a new two-book deal with bestselling psychological thriller writer Jane E. James

We’re really thrilled with how well Jane E. James’s first two psychological suspense titles for Joffe, Her Second Husband and Not My Child, have done. And Jane’s darkly imaginative genius shows no sign of running out of steam in her latest novel, Her Daughter’s Husband, which we’ll be publishing later this year. Her growing number of fans are in for a real treat.

Jane E. James

‘I’m thrilled to have signed a second two-book deal with Joffe Books and am looking forward to working with Kate and the rest of the team again. I can concentrate on writing even more of the mind-blowing twists that readers have come to expect from Joffe’s psychological thriller authors since I know I’m in good hands with them. The best readers are Joffe readers.’
