Book Description
Three short stories that include thrills in a mixture of fictional towns around New York. . New York Style: Tales of Suspense Tantalizing Excitement in The City! – Join this two hundred sixty-five-page psychological thrill ride of murder, mystery, suspense, a bit of the supernatural, and fun! Tale one: Two Of A Kind Is Blood thicker than murder? There is a secret buried deep in the soil of Cherry Hill. In a town of beautiful cities, lakes, and villages where trees grow tall, flowers bloom free, and the neighbors are friendly. Is there an uncovered truth rising upon the surface? One of cruelness among rebellious youth? Or could it just be a hereditary factor where bloodline goes bad, and murder goes right. Mysterious murders take place in the lovely upscale town of Cherry Hills throughout Pennington, New York—killings and deaths that shock and bewilder residents in a city where scandalous crimes run sparse. There had not been such incident since the highly publicized murders that took place in early winter of January 1981 on Oakwood St. in the home of Evelyn and Ryan Barker. Tale two: The Lovers What is it that is masquerading as ordinary, lurking brazenly on forbidden territory? Is there a price for playing with magic or is magic worth paying the price for? Deep in the city streets of Manhattan lies a place for those who want to take a gamble at chance. One may get lucky, or one may lose out. In any fashion, delving in, one must accept the consequence that what was bought cannot be returned as there is no way to buy back what was once sold. It is not wise to mess with things that are considered taboo as what is taboo can come back around to mess with you. A young man consults a voodoo priest and gets more than he bargains for when he takes home a personalized spell-kit, and all goes wrong. Tale three: Summer Fling In a world of their own craziness, impulse, and greed, do you really know who the people around you are when they do not even know and cannot trust themselves? Riding on a rollercoaster they cannot function to get off of— continuously spinning around only to come to nowhere to get them back to their sphere. Dealing with them is enough to drive one crazy but a little craziness allows one to deal with the drive to survive. A successful woman takes a setback to bounce back in her career even stronger than ever before— inciting unknown events from the past of those around her to reveal mind-boggling secrets and mysteries that result in a multiple chain of unexpected murders.

Jordanna’s customers are dropping like flies when they buy and consume the decadent array of incomparable and matchless handmade pastries of her family-owned bakehouse that are literally a cut above the rest in comparison to her competitors.

Could there be a contamination somewhere in the ingredients of specific items ordered and delivered to the shop? Or is the sudden fatality of consumers who patronize Irresistible Bites Bakehouse just victims of their own demise or unfortunate circumstance? Detective Grayson Waylon would sure like to know the answer as he is the lead investigator boggled by the mystery behind a string of unsolved deaths undetectable by medical examiners conducting autopsies on the bodies that start to build up. In a case of unknown causes of death tied to a common thread there is no evidence to show or to prove Jordanna’s bakery as the main source for foul play.

Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools’ Night claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon…and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison.

Pages : 353
Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue, returns with a tantalizing novel about the secrets, betrayal, and murder within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions. Eight months since losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter's life has completely fallen apart. For the past six years, under the moniker Angelica, Lillian was one of the most sought-after artists' models in New York City, with statues based on her figure gracing landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge. But with her mother gone, a grieving Lillian is rudderless and desperate—the work has dried up and a looming scandal has left her entirely without a safe haven. So when she stumbles upon an employment opportunity at the Frick mansion—a building that, ironically, bears her own visage—Lillian jumps at the chance. But the longer she works as a private secretary to the imperious and demanding Helen Frick, the daughter and heiress of industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, the more deeply her life gets intertwined with that of the family—pulling her into a tangled web of romantic trysts, stolen jewels, and family drama that runs so deep, the stakes just may be life or death. Nearly fifty years later, mod English model Veronica Weber has her own chance to make her career—and with it, earn the money she needs to support her family back home—within the walls of the former Frick residence, now converted into one of New York City's most impressive museums. But when she—along with a charming intern/budding art curator named Joshua—is dismissed from the Vogue shoot taking place at the Frick Collection, she chances upon a series of hidden messages in the museum: messages that will lead her and Joshua on a hunt that could not only solve Veronica's financial woes, but could finally reveal the truth behind a decades-old murder in the infamous Frick family.
