New from Cherokee McGhee Mystery

RR66

"I loved this trip down Route 66. Kris Neri keeps the action rolling with a tight plot, a cast of loveable loonies and a nostalgic tour of Americana."
~ Elaine Viets,
author of Final Sail: A Dead-End Job Mystery

"Kris Neri’s Lefty-Award nominated Tracy Eaton is back, this time on a wild ride along the famed cross-country road in REVENGE ON ROUTE 66. Forget the scenery -- there are murders to investigate! If you’re looking for laughs, hairpin turns, and whiplash plot twists, you won’t want to miss this madcap adventure. Buckle up!"
~ Julie Hyzy,
New York Times Bestselling author of the White House Chef Mysteries and the Manor House Mystery series

 


Cherokee McGhee

hORSESHOE

Southern Gothic steeped with Midwestern sensibility stirs the waters of the Tippecanoe River that embraces the town of Horseshoe and its inhabitants. A novel-in-stories, Horseshoe intertwines revenge, regret, murder, adultery, and insanity through the lives of the outwardly ordinary citizenry.


Cherokee McGhee Mystery

"In this new world of detective mysteries that is controlled by initials -- C.S.I. and D.N.A. it is refreshing to meet Detective Gus Churchill who operates in the style of Sam Spade or Nero Wolfe. I could envision Agatha Christie enjoying a cup of tea while reading McAleer’s Fatal Deeds on a rainy day."

-- T.M. Murphy, author of The Belltown Mystery Series

Andrew McAleer, Boston College professor of "The Master Sleuths" course, talks about his task as combat historian during his recent deployment in Afghanistan -- in The Observer at Boston College.

"In Love on the Big Screen, William Torgerson does for movies what Nick Hornby did for music in High Fidelity."

-Greg Downs, winner of the 2006 Flannery O'Connor Award

Book Club Questions

Left Coast Crime's

2010 Lefty Award Nominee!

"Vanity, celebrity, murder, and fabulous shoes!

REVENGE FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE has all this and more. Kris Neri's cool-under-pressure protagonist and her witty narrative voice are the reasons this series is an award winner. The clever plot twists and vivid characters bring to mind what might result from the unholy coupling of Mel Brooks and Janet Evanovich. But I'll take Tracy Eaton over Stephanie Plum any day of the week."

- Bill Fitzhugh, author of Pest Control and Highway 61 Resurfaced

More on Revenge for Old Times' Sake...

The New TRENT JONES Novel

"Sam Spade, Mike Hammer, Travis McGee and Phillip Marlowe: sure, these guys ain't bad when it comes to solving a crime, but what do they know about college basketball?

"In Trent Jones, the hero of WHO KILLED 20G?, Mark Phialas has turned loose a charming Southerner with an occasional knack for gambling, sporadic luck with the ladies, and an inevitable habit of getting hit on the head. Watching him figure out who killed 20G is as good as sweating your way through a triple overtime thriller in which your team wins."

- Will Blythe, author of To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever
