Day Before Book Banner

The question is: Can it be murder if the dead body is a clone?

I wish I’d had time to read this for the tour. It takes place in Alabama, the state I live in, and I’m always looking for good southern thrillers.

Check out the wild cover art.

And tell me what ya think!

Title: The Day Before
Author: Liana Brooks

Day Before

.

Publisher: Harper Voyage Impulse
Pages: 304
Genre: Thriller
Format: Kindle

 

A body is found in the Alabama wilderness. The question is:

Is it a human corpse … or is it just a piece of discarded property?

Agent Samantha Rose has been exiled to a backwater assignment for the Commonwealth Bureau of Investigation, a death knell for her career. But then Sam catches a break—a murder—that could give her the boost she needs to get her life back on track. There’s a snag, though: the body is a clone, and technically that means it’s not a homicide. And yet, something about the body raises questions, not only for her, but for coroner Linsey Mackenzie.

The more they dig, the more they realize nothing about this case is what it seems … and for Sam, nothing about Mac is what it seems, either.

This case might be the way out for her, but that way could be in a bodybag.

A thrilling new mystery from Liana Brooks, The Day Before will have you looking over your shoulder and questioning what it means to be human.

M9B-Friday-Reveal

This week, we are revealing the cover for

Minotaur by Phillip W. Simpson

presented by Month9Books!

Be sure to enter the giveaway found at the end of the post!

Minotaur.v3

“Where shall I start?” asked Minotaur.

Ovid made an expansive gesture with both hands. “Where else but the beginning of course.”

Minotaur nodded his huge head. “Yes,” he said. “Yes,” his eyes already glazing over with the weight of thousand year old memories. And then he began.

So begins the story of Asterion, later known as Minotaur, the supposed half bull creature of Greek legend. Recorded by the famous Roman poet, Ovid, Asterion tells of his boyhood in Crete under the cruel hand of his stepfather Minos, his adventures with his friend, Theseus, and his growing love for the beautiful Phaedra.And of course what really happened in the labyrinth.

This is the true story of the Minotaur.

Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from

Dying For The Past

Gumshoe Ghost Mystery #2

by TJ O’Connor

My 56

What bothered me the most was that despite all of my neat spirit-tricks and snappy detective skills, I had no idea what was going on.

~~~

Synopsis

Dying is not for the faint of heart . . . . . . Neither is the murder of a mysterious philanthropist with ties to the Russian mob and 1939 gangsters.

At an A-list charity ball organized by his wife, Angela, former detective Oliver “Tuck” Tucker is doing his best to prove that ghosts know how to have a good time–until a man is murdered in cold blood on the dance floor.

Never one to let a mystery go unsolved, Tuck is on the case with help from Angela and his former police-detective partners. Together, they must be the first to read “the book”–deceased gangster Vincent Calabrese’s journal that names names and reveals the dirty secrets of several modern-day spies.

As Tuck learns the book’s secrets, he begins to unravel his own family’s wayward past, leading to the question–is being a ghost hereditary? Even while chasing a killer, the biggest challenge Tuck must conquer is how to be back amongst the living . . . but not one of them.

~~~

I’m not going to be reviewing this until June but I don’t think I can wait much longer to start reading it.

A detective who’s a ghost. Sounds fun.

And while I was getting my 56 quote, I ran into plenty of characters and they have such fun names.

Looks like it’s going to be very good.
