Mysteries and suspense thrillers are some of my ultimate favorite books to read. They keep readers guessing and often have plot twists to keep things interesting. If you love a good suspense thriller and looking for your next big read, check out today’s new book release: “Past Sins: A Kalanu Mountain Mystery” by J. Thomas Witcher. It is book 2 in the Kalanu Mountain Mystery series featuring Tobias Atkins, a former detective with the Kalanu County Sheriff’s department. Even though he is now retired, a haunting new mystery draws him in. It is available on Amazon.

J. Thomas “Tommy” Witcher has been writing since the age of 10 when he discovered the magic of words both in prose and poetry. Gathering knowledge and ideas from his varied life as an Air Force brat, U.S. Marine (Purple Heart recipient in Vietnam), and police officer, he has further broadened his horizons in the past few years as an actor in several productions with the Henry Players in McDonough, Georgia. Educated and reared in England and Georgia, with Marine service in Vietnam, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, he has a truly cosmopolitan view of life. Tommy is happily married and lives in Cleveland, Georgia. In his new book “Past Sins: A Kalanu Mountain Mystery,” they thought Tobias Atkins was finished as a cop. They thought wrong.

“Liquid Shades of Blue” – When hungover ex-lawyer and Key West bar owner Jack Girard groggily wakes up one morning, he is greeted by a beautiful woman lying next to him and a shrill, ringing telephone. Seeing the call is from his father, Claude “The Duke” Girard, Jack answers. Within seconds, he learns that his mother is dead in an apparent suicide, and Jack hits the road, heading back to his childhood home in Miami to face his tyrannical father. His mother’s death brings up haunting memories from Jack’s past—memories of his brother Bobby’s suicide when they were in college together. Being back in Miami only continues to dredge up his family traumas, but things grow more complicated when The Duke suggests that his estranged wife’s alleged suicide may have been a murder.

As Jack begins to uncover the truth about his mother’s death, including the secret she had revealed to only two people—the same secret Bobby had taken with him to his grave—he finds himself in imminent danger. Can Jack reveal the true story before it is too late? He has to act quickly, or he fears he may be the victim of the next Girard family tragedy.
