GIVEAWAY TIP: I always have giveaways on my site.

Now, on to check out the upcoming release by Julie Flanders.  What could be creepier than dark woods (in the cover) and old asylums? I'm not sure. This blurb has many dying to know what Detective Fitzpatrick discovers in Fairbanks. Congrats to Julie Flanders are on a cover and blurb that puts a chill up my spine!

Polar Night by Julie Flanders

Picture
Book Blurb: When Detective Danny Fitzpatrick leaves his hometown of Chicago and moves to Fairbanks, Alaska he wants nothing more than to escape the violence and heartbreak that left his life in pieces. Numbed by alcohol and the frozen temperatures of an Alaskan winter, Danny is content with a dead-end job investigating Fairbanks' cold cases. That all changes when a pretty blond woman goes missing on the winter solstice, and Danny stumbles upon some surprising connections between her disappearance and that of another Fairbanks woman three years earlier. Forced out of his lethargy, Danny sets out to both find the missing woman and solve his own cold case.

The investigation points Danny towards Aleksei Nechayev, the handsome and charming proprietor of an old asylum turned haunted tourist attraction in the Arctic town of Coldfoot. As he tries to find a link between Nechayev and his case, Danny's instinct tells him that Nechayev is much more than what he seems.

Danny has no idea that Nechayev is hiding a secret that is much more horrifying than anything he could ever have imagined. As his obsession with finding the missing women grows, Danny finds his own life in danger. And when the truth is finally revealed, the world as he knows it will never be the same.

This sounds like part murder mystery, and part crime drama. Love the addition of an old asylum as well. sounds creepy!

Brinda ... I always enjoy your reviews ... even when you review a genre I am not a huge fan of ... like sci-fi :) Today you not only gave us a slammin' great review ... you went to the center of my brain and gave me a tasty slice of my favorite genre !!

Anything mystery, suspense, thriller and all their sub-categories has been my fav since Nancy Drew in grade school. This is such a tempting little bit that I will have to insist on eating the whole thing.

Thanks so much and much success to Julie. BTW ... librarians are my all time fav people out there. I have had a love affair with libraries and librarians since story-book-hour when I was five :)
