Who can you trust if you can’t trust yourself? When Scott McCabe’s wife dies tragically he almost loses his mind. And his son. Three years later he’s a struggling lone parent to six-year-old Jae, who longs for a new Mum. So reluctantly, Scott lets his best friend talk him into online dating. And from the minute he publishes his profile, Scott has made his Date with Fate. Underneath his casual exterior Scott is a man with a tormented conscience, a potholed memory and a vivid imagination. Is he plagued by guilt about Sally’s death, or is it something that runs much deeper? Scott doesn’t know, any more than he knows what he does when he loses time. And Scott loses a lot of time. When the girls he dates disappear one-by-one, he begins to doubt his sanity. And as police suspicion falls to him, he doesn’t know who he can trust. Least of all himself. A dark and totally gripping page-turner of a psychological thriller that delivers a killer twist. Click here to head to Amazon!

We had a wonderful discussion with Janice Coy about her book, The Water’s Fine! The book club took a break from snowy weather and went scuba diving in the Sea Cortez. See below for bio, cover art, summary, and link for purchase. Janice Coy is the author of seven contemporary women's fiction books.

Your dive master is Catalina, who has spent the past few years traveling to exotic locations around the world, spending every moment possible in her beloved ocean. Your travel companions are fifteen others - not a full boat - but they include families, friends, and a married couple.
The diving is challenging, the sights include manta rays, octopus, and sea lions. A favorite site is El Lavadero, Las Animas. Las Animas is named after the church bells which ring to summon lost souls and El Lavadero means the washing machine. The dive site is often referred to as the washing machine of lost souls. All is well until an unexpected tragedy sends those aboard the dive boat into unchartered territory, leading Catalina to question her passion for the ocean and all that it holds. Will she ever trust the invitation again to "come on in, the water's fine?" Back on land, Catalina does her best to forget what happened on the Calypso. But someone else will never forget and vows to make Catalina pay. Janice Coy is certified as an advanced scuba diver. She brings her own experience on a scuba live-aboard to this novel.

The KC Reads book club treated ourselves to a cozy mystery Christmas. We met Sharon Farrow to discuss Hollyberry Homicide, the fifth book in her Berry Basket Mystery series. We had fun discussing Marlee Jacob and the production of A Christmas Carol play. Lots of clues are adding up to mischief and mayhem on the set! Bio, cover art, summary, and link for purchase are below. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Sharon began submitting articles and short stories to magazines when she was just fourteen years old. Her award winning first novel was released in 1998. Published in mystery, fantasy, and romance, Sharon has written under various pen names. As Sharon Farrow, she writes the Berry Basket cozy mystery series, which was inspired by the beautiful village she lives in along Lake Michigan. With her college best friend and fellow writer, Sharon is also one half of the writing team D.E. Ireland, who co-author the two time Agatha nominated Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins mysteries.  Considering her name, Marlee Jacob is an obvious choice for the role of Jacob Marley in Oriole Point’s production of A Christmas Carol. It’s just sad that the role has opened up because of the death of the elderly actor who’d originally been cast.
But Marlee, the proprietor of The Berry Basket, will do her best to keep spirits high—that is, until clues start mounting that there’s danger behind the scenes. There are accidents on set, the tree in the village square topples over, and worst of all, a body is found with a sprig of holly draped over it. If Marlee can’t wrap up the case, she may not have a berry merry Christmas . . . Includes Berry Recipes! Click here to head to Amazon!
