Today’s featured release is Those Who Shall Die by Michael Bradley

Those Who Shall Die is a suspense. The world of thriller writing can be a lonely existence, where action happens only in the imagination. Five established thriller writers came together and formed The Society of Fibbers, a place to support, cross market, and connect with a shared audience. Success has been hard earned. Then one of their own dies and a token is found pointing back to the Fibbers. Forewarned is forearmed … if you know who the enemy is.

Bottom line: Those Who Shall Die is for you if you like the slow burn of a suspense where anyone could be the next.

Then come back in two weeks for our next original story where an different kind of crush is our STCKY means of murder. It’s A Serious Crush by Ed Teja

Round Up the Unusual Suspects by Elizabeth Crowens is historical cozy. B. Norman Investigations is back at Warner Brothers Studio at the behest of Jack Warner himself. A stage hand was been found murdered on one of the set and Babs Norman and Guy Brandt are hired to not only find the killer but make sure there isn’t a second body in the wings. But the PIs have more than just murder on their minds—there’s Babs’s Japanese gardener she’s hiding from authorities, Guy’s draft number being called, Guy’s maybe new boyfriend, Babs’s fanatic suitor, and Hollywood being Hollywood as WWII rages.

Bottom line: Round Up the Unusual Suspects is for you if you like Casablanca and WWII era American stories told from a Cozy perspective

The brightest light in this story is the world Crowens created. It’s 1942 in Burbank, California. Warner Brothers Studio, led by Jack Warner, is pushing forward on projects as the world changes. WWII is underway. Pearl Harbor has happened, and now Japanese emigrants and descendants are under orders to turn themselves in to internment camps. Emigrants from across Europe have sought refuge in North America including the U.S. The draft is happening and able bodied young men from across the country are called to report for duty.

Within all of the uncertainty and anxiety of the time, Crowens placed a light-hearted adventure / mystery that highlights where people found relief—in other people. The cast of ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is large and draws in characters you already know like Humphrey Bogart, Dashiell Hammett, Errol Flynn, and Ingrid Bergman. For fans of Casablanca, ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is a behind-the-scene tour of the celebrated film and its stars.

There is a lot packed in between the covers. There are many characters and, aside from the famous ones, I did have some trouble keeping everyone straight. While mystery is an element, ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is more dominantly an Americana story using mystery as the backdrop for seeing who we were then.

ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is the 3rd book in the Babs Norman Golden Age of Hollywood Mystery Series. I read book 1 but not 2. The storyline stands on it’s own and doesn’t require reading the first books. However, Book 1 HOUNDS OF THE HOLLYWOOD BASKERVILLES, where dog napping is the crime to be solved, is just plain fun.

The Round Up the Unusual Suspects was released from Level Best Books and is promoted by Partners In Crime Tours and is available from online retailers. Check out PICT for links to all.

This is Episode 15, where Chemical is our STCKY means of death. This is GenX by Melinda Di Lorenzo

DELIBERATION

Jason Mercer’s weekend away with his high school buddies has turned deadly. He thinks he knows who killed Kevin Boeser and why, but let’s help him gut check before his silk pajamas are traded in for prison orange. Here are the suspects in the order we met them:

• Jason Mercer, party organizer
• Jen Jenkins, Kevin’s secret baby mama
• David Shizka, his wife’s hit-and-run driver
• Angela Leeman, Kevin’s high school stalker
• Michael Greer, the gambler who owes $200 large

Here is what we know …

• Kevin Boeser was found dead in the center of camp, suffocated by a blue tarp. His trademark red Doc Martens stuck out of one end. Pulling back the tarp revealed blue lips from suffocation and the coat he’d worn the night before.
• Jason Mercer slept outside that night in a chair. When he fell asleep, Michael and Angela were in camp, David, Jen, and Kevin were in the woods. When he woke, all the others came out of their tents.
• Jason saw the suspects interact with Kevin that night. David loaned Kevin his coat and talked about Jen’s kid and his wife’s car accident. Angela kissed Kevin. Michael snubbed Kevin. Jason saw Jen go into the woods but didn’t actually see or hear the conversation.
• Jen was tense about the weekend with her son’s biological father and counted on Jason to revoke the invite. Kevin confirmed to David that he knew he was the father.
• David didn’t accidentally make the invitation but felt he couldn’t withdraw it because Kevin knew he was the driver in his wife’s accident. Kevin confirmed that knowledge.
• Angela blamed Kevin for her hospital stay. Seeing him challenged the progress made through therapy and pharmaceuticals.
• Michael owed Kevin $200k he didn’t have and expected the man to call the debt due. He figured Kevin arranged the “accidental” invitation for that reason.
• Jason himself had a motive as he used Kevin to cheat on tests in high school that led to his college entry. If Kevin talked, his mogul status could be pulled out from under him.
• Jen suspects Jason since he was asleep outside when she returned. No one else has made an accusation.
• Jen’s van will not start, stranding the now distrusting friends unless they use Kevin’s car.

Which of the Gen Xers ruined Kevin’s weekend?

ABOUT Melinda Di Lorenzo

When not writing, she is either reading, watching soccer (women’s only; the men fall down and cry) or teaching. She is passionate about writing and believes words are for everyone.

This is Episode 14, where heat, pressure, chemical, and mechanical are our STCKY means of death. This is The Rendering of Truth by Chuck Brownman

DELIBERATION

Alone, neither Lena nor Mercer have what it takes to crack the case. But together, and with our help, we can figure out what happened to Eddie Weller and Dale Curtis. Here’s the suspect list, in the order we met them:

• Junior Lattimore, rendering tech
• John Reese, plant manager
• Tanya Lowell, accounting clerk and office mate
• Frank Jackson, rendering foreman
• Dale Curtis, plant foreman

Here are the facts that Lena and Mercer have uncovered:

• Eddie Weller, newly promoted to Operations Reviewer, went into the rendering pit. The pit was activated and Eddie died from a lethal combination of heat, oxygen deprivation, and mechanical grinding.

• Eddie was formerly an operating tech and, in his new role, signed off on the maintenance documentation. He knew the paperwork or safety protections he knew was needed to enter the confined space.
• No one offered an explanation of why Eddie would have entered the pit.
• Junior Lattimore did not look into the pit before he turned it on. He had no reason to think anyone was in it.
• A search of Eddie’s desk found evidence of falsified invoices for filters. The invoices were signed by Reese. He added a note to check with DC, interpreted as Dale Curtis.
• Tanya prepares the invoices for Reese’s signature. She said he directed her to process the invoices for his approval, saying they were a rush job from a new vendor.
• Reese said he signs the invoices Tanya prepares, implying he did not scrutinize or even read the documents.
• A torn piece of bank statement found in the trash in the office Eddie and Tanya shared had a sizable balance but no name
• Curtis later heard Eddie in his office talking to someone about stealing, but couldn’t see who as the door was closed.
• Mercer recognized Steam Line #4 was tampered with. The line then failed catastrophically killing Dale Curtis. He was found with a pipe wrench in the vicinity.
• A drawing of the plant found in Eddie’s apartment also highlighted Steam Line #4 as out of compliance on maintenance inspection.
• Lena and Mercer speculate the person or persons behind the “accidents” had to have an understanding of the plant to orchestrate both deaths.
• Tanya had knowledge and access to the invoice, but does not have knowledge of the plant. Tanya and Eddie shared an office and were friends. Eddie spent time with her son.
• Junior had knowledge of the rendering area, but did not have access to accounting. Junior lost out on the promotion to Eddie and was bitter.
• Junior had no apparent problem with Dale Curtis.
• Jackson had knowledge of the rendering area. Recently separated, he and Tanya were dating. He often when to her office, and even helped straighten Tanya’s desk for her. He was there in the office when Eddie died.
• Reese claims his knowledge of the plant isn’t detailed. He signed off on plant expenditures.

Whose greed was paid for with the lives of Eddie Weller and Dale Curtis?
