Free Book: 11/09/2024 Trouble in Paradox by Gary Blaine Randolph

Jump into this fun comedic mystery sci-fi series. This is book 7 and as good a place to start as any.

It’s Gabriel Lake’s most noir, Sam Spade-ish adventure yet, and the stakes could not be higher. A chrono drive malfunction strands the Galactic Detective Agency in 1943 Indianapolis. Then a murder occurs, creating a temporal paradox and putting the timeline in jeopardy, including Gabe’s very existence.

With the help of the Galactic Detective Agency crew of space aliens, Gabe must step into the gumshoes of a 1940s detective to try to solve the crime and put the future back on the right track. But is Gabe hard-boiled enough to dodge both cops and gangsters? And does he remember enough from his favorite film noir movies to fit into 1943 culture? In this time-traveling mystery, there will be plenty of laughs, plenty of adventure, and plenty of Trouble in Paradox.

If this pup doesn’t get found fast, her feisty younger sister could be on the hook for a life-threatening crime…

Manchester, England, 1960s. Miss Riddell has no taste for modern fashions.

Teaming up with her sister and a now-retired friend from the police force, Miss Riddell discovers that the former cop is hot on the tail of a vanished feline film star.

Can youthful impetuosity combined with seasoned caution save the four-legged day?

Vampires and Villains by Elizabeth Pantley

Paige and her joyful Aunt Glo have learned that the home they inherited comes with a magical library. They put together a book club group of loveable kooks to explore the magic. They’ve recovered from their first book journey, and they all agree on their next book which takes place on a cruise ship bound for Hawaii. Problem is, they were so excited about the cruising idea that they didn’t read the entire blurb on the back of the book. (“It was entirely too long,” explains Zell.) Once on the ship, they meet a charming and likeable man who blends seamlessly into their motley group. Too bad they don’t know why he’s so scarce during the day but shows up to join them every evening for dinner, drinks, and a show. When a dead body shows up on board, their new friend is labeled a suspect. Can they help him out by finding the real murderer? Or is he the real murderer? The book club will need to solve the case to get off the ship, out of the book, and back to their home.
