I’ve had a few more previews of new mystery novels up at The Criminal Element recently.
Fresh Meat: The Traitor in the Tunnel by Y.S. Lee – a young adult spy novel featuring a female spy.
Fresh Meat: Nine for the Devil by Mary Reed and Eric Mayer – this one is set during the reign of Emperor Justinian, and features a eunuch detective.
Chomp by Carl Hiaasen – another Young Adult mystery, riotously quirky and hilariously funny.
About Victoria Janssen
Victoria Janssen [she, her] currently writes cozy space opera for
Kalikoi. The novella series A Place of Refuge begins with
Finding Refuge:
Telepathic warrior Talia Avi, genius engineer Miki Boudreaux, and augmented soldier Faigin Balfour fought the fascist Federated Colonies for ten years, following the charismatic dissenter Jon Churchill. Then Jon disappeared, Talia was thought dead, and Miki and Faigin struggled to take Jon’s place and stay alive. When the FC is unexpectedly upended, Talia is reunited with her friends and they are given sanctuary on the enigmatic planet Refuge. The trio of former guerillas strive to recover from lifetimes of trauma, build new lives on a planet with endless horizons, and forge tender new connections with each other.
