Free book (DRM-free MultiFormat) - Murder on the Mind [psychological suspense ]
Murder on the Mind, 1st in the Jeff Resnick mystery/thriller series by L.L. Bartlett, is temporarily free (may be pricematched in the other stores if it lasts long enough).
This was originally published by Five Star/Cengage (a small press which also publishes Lillian Stewart Carl's mysteries, among other things), and is now backlist e-published by the author over at Smashwords. Author bio says she has praise from Romantic Times and an Agatha Award nomination, so these may be some form of romantic suspense. Found via the autogenerated Twitter feed on the Smashwords bio page of backlist author Miriam Minger, who's got a historical romance novel free in this MR thread, and says that Bartlett's book is on time-limited promotion. Description A mugging leaves insurance investigator Jeff Resnick with a fractured skull, and graphic nightmares of murder. But when a local banker is found dead, Jeff believes the attack left him with a sixth sense, and finds himself probing into dangerous secrets that touch his own traumatic past. Originally published by Five Star/Cengage. "A tightly paced story with a good kick at the end."--RT Magazine |

So much for not getting anymore ebooks till I've finished what I already have. I made that resolution yesterday...oh wait ..it was not to buy any, so technically I'm still ok.
Thanks for the heads up about it. |

Thanks! - almost bought Murder on the Mind at Kobo last week but decided to wait; glad I did. Didn't luck out with the Miriam Minger though - I bought her full backlist at Kobo two weeks ago, but I'm not complaining

Nothing quite like a good murder to pass the time with. At least a good fictional murder anyway.

Murder on the Mind
Murder on the Mind is NOT a romantic suspense or cozy mystery (although I write cozy mysteries under two other names) It's psychological suspense with a paranormal thread. (No vampires, zombies or werewolves. Jeff is just a tad psychic, but he uses his skills as a trained insurance investigator to help him solve crimes.)
If you'd like to see reader reviews, Amazon has 20 and 16 of them are five-star. Find them here: http://tinyurl.com/ydn7j3c The second book in the series, Dead In Red, has reviews from Library Journal and Booklist. L.L. Bartlertt =================================== Author bio says she has praise from Romantic Times and an Agatha Award nomination, so these may be some form of romantic suspense. A mugging leaves insurance investigator Jeff Resnick with a fractured skull, and graphic nightmares of murder. But when a local banker is found dead, Jeff believes the attack left him with a sixth sense, and finds himself probing into dangerous secrets that touch his own traumatic past.
