Unwind the Conspiracy in All the Devils Are Here

I released He Never Forgot, Book #9 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series this weekend. If you didn’t get a chance to pick up your copy, head on over now! A number of other new releases that may be of interest are also mentioned in my last blog post.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

You will have to exchange Louise Penny’s lyrical descriptions of the Quebec landscape for those of the City of Light, and all of our fravourite characters from Three Pines are back home and in the background, but Penny still brings it home with a great suspenseful mystery.
