Dead Flowers by Nicola Monaghan (eARC, courtesy of Verve Books)
She doesn’t trust the police. She used to be one of them.
Hardened by ten years on the murder squad, DNA analyst Doctor Sian Love has seen it all.
So when she finds human remains in the basement of her new home, she knows the drill.
Except this time it’s different. This time, it’s personal…
Don’t Get Involved by F. J. Curlew (eARC, courtesy of the author)
A missing shipment of cocaine.
Three street-kids fighting for their lives.
A mafia hit-man intent on killing them.
A naive expat who gets in their way.
Who would you bet on?
The Outrageous Fortune of Abel Morgan by Cynthia Jefferies (ebook, courtesy of Allison & Busby and Random Things Tours)
1660, England. War is at an end, yet for Christopher Morgan his personal conflict rages on. Haunted by the tragic death of his wife, Christopher is desperate to escape the pain her memory brings, although looking into the eyes of his young son, Abel, he cannot help but be reminded of what he has lost. Over time, father and son develop a strong bond until they are callously torn apart when Abel is snatched by smugglers and sold overseas.
From the shores of Constantinople to the coast of Jamaica, time and tide keep them apart. Christopher will sail across oceans to find Abel, never losing faith that one day they will be reunited, and, as the years pass, Abel will learn that fortune favours the brave.

Wednesday – WWW Wednesday is the opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next…and have a good nose around to see what other bloggers are reading. I also republished my review of Manipulated Lives by H. A Leuschel as part of the blog tour.
