Jo Szewczyk - Scarlet Shadows (The Scarlet Mysteries Book 1)

•

Scarlet Jameson is a taekwondo champion with a badly injured leg, a short fuse, and absolutely no intention of becoming an amateur detective.

Then her friend Michelle is attacked by three masked strangers.

Before her failing sight ended Michelle's career as a pediatrician, Emily had been her first patient. Years later, she became her last. When a desperately needed transplant fell through, Emily died—leaving behind a tragedy Michelle thought she'd buried.

Apparently, someone else is determined to keep the past buried too.

Scarlet, Michelle, and their loyal but unpredictable friend Bean start asking questions. They should have left the past alone. Because the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the answers become—and someone is willing to make sure they never reach the truth.

Fast, dark, and full of wry, quick-witted banter, Scarlet Shadows is a modern Las Vegas crime mystery about buried secrets, the people who'll kill to keep them, and three friends who don't know when to walk away. Perfect for fans of Veronica Mars and Finlay Donovan.

    Kate Galway is looking forward to a quiet summer working on her latest novel at her home on Meredith Island. For a place hardly anyone has heard of, her sleepy Welsh island is attracting a lot of visitors, including a conman posing as a psychic and group of archaeology students who believe they’ve unearthed evidence of a Roman temple. Part-way through the dig, however, the students make an even more startling discovery: a body ritualistically laid out in their trench.While intrigued by the murder, amateur sleuth Kate decides to leave this investigation to the professionals. However, when she learns that both the island mechanic and her university friend’s son are prime suspects, she and hedonistic artist Siobhan Fitzgerald feel they have no choice but to get involved.Praise for Secrets in the Water, the first Meredith Island mystery:“If you like a well wrought complex plot with lots of twists and turns; a lovely Welsh setting; attractive and believable characters; an interesting psychological depth, this is the book for you.” - Maureen Jennings, author of the Murdoch Mysteries and The Paradise Cafe Mysteries“The only thing more enchanting than the setting of the Welsh Island of Meredith is the prosaic style of Alice Fitzpatrick. She writes with charm dashed with a healthy dose of dark undercurrents.” - Erik D’Souza, author of the Suzanne Rickson Mystery Series and Social Media Director & - Webinar Coordinator for Crime Writers Canada"Beautifully atmospheric, Secrets in the Water will draw you in as if you truly were on the isle of Meredith, solving a familial cold case and hanging out with the locals at The Filly... Five stars all the way!" Lisa de Nikolits
