My Review

The team sent into the wormhole might have seemed random. But they were carefully chosen and an ulterior motive emerges as you follow their fight for survival in a dangerous alien world.

I didn’t worry whether this scenario was even possible or if the science worked in this story. I just enjoyed the ride and the very strange alien beings.

And I think this would be so enjoyable as a movie. I already have some actors in mind.

Synopsis

When Japanese nature show host Daisuke Matsumori finds himself on an alien world, he hopes to rekindle his passion for his work. Traveling through a newly-discovered wormhole in the Papuan highlands, he joins biologist Anne Houlihan on Junction, a patchwork planet of competing alien ecosystems. When their exploratory party crashes in the alien wilderness, Daisuke and Anne try to lead bickering soldiers and civilians back to civilization alive. As they trek across one unearthly biome after another and members of the party continue to die, however, Daisuke wonders whether human politics might be more deadly than alien biology. One of his companions might be a murderer. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launching in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.

  by Lauren Carr

Genre: Mystery

From page 56 in the paperback.

“According to Susan, John Davis did have an enemy. Bea Miller. A clerk who had applied for a job in his department. When she didn’t get it, she accused him of sexual harassment. She appears to have a long history of accusing men of sexual assault and harassment.”

“Sounds like a possible suspect.

She does sound like a good suspect. Me thinks this is too early in the book to zero in on her. Lauren always has so many bread crumbs to follow!

Check out that excellent cover art. Isn’t it perfect for the title!

Synopsis

Homicide Detective Cameron Gates learned long ago that there is no such thing as a typical murder case. Each mystery is special in its own right—especially for the family of the victim.

The homicide of a successful executive, husband, and father seems open and shut when the murder weapon is found in his estranged son-in-law’s possession. The circumstantial evidence is so damning that when her step-son, J.J. Thornton, agrees to act as the defendant’s public defender, he assumes his first murder case will be a loss. Only the report of a missing husband proves that this case is not as open and shut as it seems.

Strap on your seat belts for a wild ride in this mystery rooted in decades of deception that sprouts into murder.
