Here are a bevy of new books, with three debut series from Alex Erickson, Molly Fitz, and Gayle Leeson, releasing this week and my pick of the week is . . .

Double Agent by Gretchen Archer ~
On the weather front, Category Four Hurricane Kevin took a last-minute left and is headed straight for the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. In breaking news, Undercover Casino Operative Davis Way has one foot out the evacuation door when fifty million dollars disappear, and in its place, a dead body. “Expertly written, this book was an adrenaline rush waiting to happen as with each turn of a page. . .A fantastic ride that left me wanting more. Again, the best book in the series” -my musing

Female runners are being snatched off jogging trails, then slaughtered in abandoned churches. “visually descriptive narrative that sets the stage for an intensifying and suspenseful tale that had me devouring every scene as I could not put it down. -my musing

Murder-A-Go-Go’s edited by Holly West ~
The Go-Go’s made music on their own terms and gave voice to a generation caught between the bra-burning irreverence of the seventies and the me-first decadence of the eighties.
