Where They Lie
by Joe Hart
Tumblr media
The murder of an influencer’s family exposes the disturbing secrets behind the facade in a haunting novel of suspense by Joe Hart, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Or Else.
Where They Lie by Joe Hart is a mystery thriller that follows Nora McTarvish, a CPS employee, as she embarks on an off-the-books investigation after a family tragedy since she was the last agent to check on the foster placements.
Nora is a captivating protagonist: a graduate of foster care herself, she is haunted by her past and uses work to cope instead of getting therapy, and isolates herself from those in her life who genuinely care for her. Anyone who works in an office will feel Nora’s pain as she navigates inept coworkers and a boss who plays favorites as she tries to use the system to help those whose cases she works. When tragedy strikes a family in her caseload in the form of a plane crash, something doesn’t pass the smell test, and Nora embarks on an unsanctioned investigation that will have readers turning pages and trying to put the pieces together as they play along at home. Hart drops enough hints that any seasoned mystery reader can follow and puzzle together, but it will not be too obvious to anyone who is just along for the ride.
This is book one in a series, and Hart nicely sets up the recurring characters while also creating a backdrop and premise that will have readers wondering what Nora will do in the next book.

“Have a little jiu-jitsu on me, boys!”
The wonderful Lady Luck makes a reappearance in this blog. Here she makes short work of dastardly criminals who had kidnapped a little girl and were effectively blackmailing her parents by holding the child until the reward being offered for her safe return grew to an astronomic amount. In common with many of the fighting gals of the 1940s Lady Luck (AKA socialite Brenda Banks)’s preferred method of unarmed combat was the Japanese martial art, jiu-jitsu, which is on fine display in the pages reproduced here.
Tumblr media
Like a latter day Lone Ranger, Lady Luck subdues the crooks and leaves them tied up for the police to collect but still finds time to visit the reunited family and take a celebratory picture - surprising the cops who thought she had been killed along the way. Heartwarming stuff.

Charles whose dad smashed his cassette tape with a hammer learns to navigate the backpack cause, like, he needs to be useful, yeah?
and this way Charles has everything Edwin needs, and if Edwin gets sick of him he’ll just.. he doesn’t know what he’ll do.
but then Edwin gets the record player.
he suggests, tentatively, that Charles might play some of his “queen” if he liked. after all, if they are to haunt potential realtors away from their new office, they may as well entertain themselves.
so they take turns, switching out; edwin likes opera. he shows Charles how to waltz, chiding Charles to stop looking at his feet til they’re gliding, whirling around like they’re in the movies. Edwin’s smile is small and pleased and lovely. (Charles attempt to get Edwin to headbang along to queen results in a sort of awkward rhythmic nodding. Charles loves him so much he could die again.)
And, like. Edwin doesn’t like clutter. he doesn’t bother with the random tidbits ghosts give them for solving cases.
until now, apparently.
now he comes back from trading at the goblin market with little useless things—a cursed rubix cube, records from bands Charles mentioned years ago.
Charles is so busy trying to subtly read his book on Edwardian courting rituals (disguised by Nikos discreet manga covers) that he doesn’t realize what Edwin’s set down in front of him. he stares at Edwin’s spiky handwriting, the tidy numbered list.
“I thought, perhaps, that we might—start a new tradition.”
Charles blinks, eyes stinging. “Mate, did you.. make me a mixtape?”
“Crystal assisted me, and while she was absolutely insuffer—“ Edwin staggers, catching him with a surprised little noise.
“I love you so much,” Charles says, muffled into his throat. “You’re my favorite person. I love you so much it hurts, sometimes.”
“Yes,” Edwin says softly, hands curling around his waist. He takes Charles weight like it’s nothing. “I believe I know the feeling.”
this is a longer fic on ao3 now!

Snow bots au anyone? :D
They're back together a year later because it's snowing again❄️
All right! For context: I imagine them hanging out every winter in some kind of resort (a resort that Blurr owns. Because his bar business has expanded that much over time.)

Murphy’s Law
by Rhys Bowen
Tumblr media
Molly Murphy always knew she'd end up in trouble, just as her mother predicted. So, when she commits murder in self-defense, she flees her cherished Ireland, under cover of a false identity, for the anonymous shores of late nineteenth-century America. But when a man is murdered on Ellis Island, a man Molly was seen arguing with, she becomes a prime suspect in the crime. Pounding the notorious streets of Hell's Kitchen and the Lower East Side, Molly undertakes a desperate mission to clear her name before her deadly past comes back to haunt her new future.
Murphy’s Law by Rhys Bowen is the story of Molly Murphy, an Irish immigrant on the run from the law, who finds herself out of the frying pan and into the fire when a man she quarreled with on the ship to America ends up dead.
This is book one in a series, and the reader can tell that Bowen meticulously researched the immigration experience and NYC life in the 1920s. However, the misery of boat travel in steerage and of being a foreigner in a foreign city with no job or residential prospects doesn’t quite fit the tone of plucky and independent woman detective. Molly is an outlier in a time where a lone, unmarried woman without a chaperone would be shunned. Instead, she comes and goes as she pleases, and any hint of scandal slides off her. To any reader who has read her “Royal Spyness” series, Murphy’s Law reads like a retread of its content—except instead of a down-and-out English aristocrat who stumbles into murder with her love interest, it’s a highly educated, lower-class Irish woman who stumbles into murder with her love interest. Whereas Georgiana’s naivete comes across as endearing and plausible, Molly’s lack of worldly intelligence at 23 comes across as a plot device to keep Molly stumbling into trouble.
Despite the inaugural book’s shortcomings, history buffs and lady detective connoisseurs will find Murphy’s Law engaging with a plot twist that will keep even an avid mystery reader guessing.

Your art is so, so, so, so cute. If you ever were so inclined, I would love to see your take on Charles finally getting to eat a plate of spaghetti

Edwin wasn't too sure he liked it, but I think he's convinced now!

Concept art for a mystery visual novel based on a previous story call Lady Detective. The player plays the view of Naomi Belfry, a young lady with sharp perception and a psychic sense passed down from her ancestor. Basic idea - help her find the clues to solve the case.

i know it's kinda mean of me but i hope seeing so many queer shows fall like dominoes is waking people up to the fact representation is vanishing fast. and there's a reason, more than any one studio or one showrunner.

Oh goddammit I just walked home, remembered that I actually drove to work for once, and now I've got to walk back and get my car.
These heels are getting some mileage today.
