Sinossi

After a concert, a goddess of rock is shot dead backstageIt’s the finest performance of Rebecca Carlton’s career. The show is dedicated to her father, and the most famous woman in rock does everything she can to honor him. She gives the crowd at San Francisco’s Cow Palace arena four encores before finally retiring backstage. The applause is still thundering through the stadium when Rebecca Carlton is shot dead.Lieutenant Frank Hastings has been fighting with his girlfriend when he gets the call. Their idol dead, Rebecca’s fans refuse to disperse from the amphitheater, and a riot seems imminent. It takes a special plea from David Behr, the singer’s producer and former husband, to convince the audience to go home. As the crowd files out, Hastings turns to the body. Rebecca Carlton may have been a star, but there was nothing glamorous about her murder.

    Everyone knows the first forty-eight hours are the most important after a homicide. But for Detective Luke Guillory, the first forty-eight hours are all he gets—over and over and over. The same victim, the same crime scene, the same long list of suspects. Each reset erases his progress and resets the clock—but only for him. 
    With his marriage unraveling, his career stalled, and his own reputation damaged by his mother's criminal conviction, Luke is running out of people he can trust. 
    As Luke relives the same two days over and over, he starts to uncover new clues and dangerous truths. But every mistake he makes means starting from scratch. To solve the murder and break the cycle, Luke must think faster, trust harder, and risk everything—even if it means making impossible choices. 
    Smart, tightly plotted, and packed with sharp dialogue and high stakes, A Time for Murder is the pulse-pounding first book in the Time Loop Detective series. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Tana French, and the movie Edge of Tomorrow, this genre-bending mystery blends suspense, science fiction, and procedural drama into a uniquely addictive read. 
    Time is Luke's enemy. Truth is his only weapon. And if he wants his life back, he has to get it right. 
    Start A Time for Murder today and discover a twist-filled thriller where every second counts—and the clock is already ticking.

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Spring has sprung in Arborville, New Jersey, and Pamela Paterson and Bettina Fraser are keeping busy with their knitting group, Knit and Nibble. But it looks like April showers have brought May murders . . . 
     
     
     
    Fiber artist Ingrid Barrick has just been found dead in her ransacked house, but the fact that she'd seemed a bit troubled lately—and had been obsessively doodling pictures of bees—has the Knit and Nibblers wondering if this was really a burglary gone bad like the police think. There had been tension with a neighbor who was fuming (and sneezing) over the ragweed in Ingrid's garden—but allergies don't seem like grounds for murder. 
     
     
      
    As they chat with a local beekeeper, learn more about Ingrid's knitwear-designer ex, and look into a suddenly cancelled tapestry exhibit, Pamela and Bettina are intrigued to find more nature-themed sketches by Ingrid. The question is which of these many threads will lead to the truth about her unnatural death . . .
