I’m pleased to be your stop today for the Blog Tour of Midnight Lies (DI Mariner Book #9) by Chris Collett
MIDNIGHT LIES BLURB
Discover an utterly addictive new crime mystery from a No. 1 bestselling author! Secrets, lies, bodies. Nothing stays buried forever . . . It starts on an abandoned campsite in Norfolk. Developers unearth a human skeleton. The remains of an eighteen-year-old girl. Robina Scanlon — a blast from the past that shocks Detective Tom Mariner to his core.
In the sweltering summer of 1976, they met on holiday and teenage Mariner fell for her instantly.
He thought she was the one who got away. Now he realizes she never even left.
She was murdered back at the campsite where they met, all those years ago.
Mariner drives to Norfolk, his head so full of ghosts he can barely think straight.
What happened to his first love?
The mystery of her death becomes a dangerous obsession.
The truth is a terrible secret that lies buried deep in the past.
And someone out there will do anything to keep it that way . . . A nail-bitingly tense crime mystery that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Peter James, Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, Caro Ramsay, Helen H. Durrant, Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
Read what everyone is saying about the Detective Mariner mysteries: “It would be impossible not to like Mariner!” Margaret, NetGalley “Collett is a wonderful writer, subtle, clever, strong on atmosphere and character.” Yorkshire Post “Fully fledged female characters distinguish Collett’s police procedurals.” Publishers Weekly “Well written, thoughtful, and entertaining.” Booklist “I didn’t want to put it down!” Anne “I do like a good police procedural and this definitely fits the bill.” Elaine THE DETECTIVE Detective Inspector Tom Mariner is, on the surface, an average dedicated policeman, but his experiences as a younger man have given him an insight into life on the dark side, and a clear sense of right and wrong. Mariner has little interest in material things. He lives in a modest canal-side cottage, enjoys the occasional (real) beer and game of dominoes and drives an old car. He is most at home in the outdoors, with an OS map and a compass, and in times of crisis, will take off and walk for miles in any weather.

Review of Midnight Lies (DI Mariner Book 9) by Chris Collett
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Another great DI Mariner story, and there is a lot going on in this ninth book in the series. DI Mariner’s team has a case that has them confused. They are working hard to figure out the details and the victims of a car accident which has them scratching their heads, then DI Mariner is pulled away and into his past when the remains of an eighteen-year-old girl is unearthed, and if that isn’t enough, DI Mariner is also under scrutiny for a case where he got involved while heading home on the bus.
I loved this story and the twists, turns, and flashes back to a time when DI Tom Mariner was younger and trying to fit in and find himself. It brought out a whole new side of him that I enjoyed learning. It seems that he is always on the job, no matter whether he is on vacation, heading home from work, or actually working. His life is full of his job and with this book, he is thinking about his future and where he is headed. I love DI Mariner and his team, and this book was just as engrossing, gripping, and tragic. I give this book a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more of DI Mariner and his team.

Having to pay for the mistake that she made, Kinsley’s now bound to a man that makes her skin crawl.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
A story full of deceit, betrayal, tragedy, and finding happiness despite all the pain.
Kinsley should be protected at all costs, she’s that important to the club, but when she’s betrayed and put in danger, she doesn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel for herself. The pain and suffering she endures is tragic, and she never should have been put in the position she’s in.
Stag has been in and out of juvie for years, now that he’s an adult, he’s spent time in prison and has gained his freedom. Now he’s looking for a place to land. When he steps in to help a man in a bar, his life finds purpose and a place to land. He finds his way to the Fury Vipers MC and a family in the process.
I loved this story of Stag and Kinsley. The Fury Vipers MC are a group of men that are mostly loyal, with a few bad seeds in the mix. When the betrayer is someone that is respected and looked up, it is so much worse. This story had so many emotional parts to it and I fell in love with the Fury Vipers at the end of the book. These men will fight to keep those they call family and love protected and safe at all costs. They aren’t afraid to stand up to those that have betrayed them or showed disrespect to them. I loved this first story to the Fury Vipers MC and as usual with Brooke Summers’ characters, her heroine is a strong, beautiful woman that has survived the worst betrayal and tragedy for a young woman. I loved that she was able to find her happiness and safely find her way back to her family. I give this book a 5-star review and I am looking forward to Mayhem’s story. Brooke Summers knows how to write bada** women that are strong, beautiful and powerful in their own way.

Brooke is a Londoner born and raised. She lives with her husband and their daughter. She’s a foul mouthed, dirty minded weirdo. An introvert and would rather spend the night in front of the fire reading, rather than going out and partying.
I clawed my way to the top. And if someone dares to go against me? I viciously destroy them.
I’m a monster who seeks vengeance for the injustice done to him. A hunter, hungry to catch and punish his prey before sending it to rot in hell. My prey thinks he killed me a long time ago when he stole my birthright. He didn’t.
Every monster knows one rule: To win a war you have to dethrone the king. And for that, I have to have her.
An innocent beauty who ends up married to a horrible beast. Wearing the name to the dynasty that holds the keys to my victory.
I’m done waiting to claim what rightfully belongs to me. And if an innocent creature ends up being collateral damage in it all? Well, then so be it.
She will be mine. Even if I have to declare war to do so.
After all, la vie est injuste. Life is unfair. And so am I.
Serena Akeroyd is excited to announce The Last Bachelor Duet. Rex and his First Lady Rachel each get a book in this highly anticipated series finale of A Dark and Dirty Sinners MC Series New Jersey Chapter.
Rachel always thought I was wasting my life on the Sinners, but being Prez is all I’ve ever wanted to be. When she tore us apart on her journey to become someone, I let her go. I made sacrifices for her, because I knew why she had to prove herself. I just didn’t realize that’d involve freezing me out for years. Now, she’s the best criminal attorney in the Tri-State Area, and I’m still Prez—only my world is falling apart. The MC is under scrutiny, our dirty secrets are being laundered in the public eye, and some of my brothers could be facing jail time. Only one woman can stop that from happening. Rachel. She’ll fight for my brothers, but will she fight for us?
RACHEL
It took a death for me to realize a hard truth: I’m not just the Sinners’ lawyer. They’re not just clients. They’re family. But my family is broken, torn apart by politics and dangerous factions who want to control us. It’s no longer enough to stick to the sidelines. It’s not enough to be the face of the law amid the MC. It’s time to ascend. Rex needs his First Lady. It’s time to go to war.
BLURB: If I’ve learned anything while studying at Stonewall University, it’s to steer clear of the Scorpio Society. The powerful few hiding behind this private network do whatever they like. And they will gladly ruin anyone who threatens them. Just ask my friends. I’d like to tell you I made it out unscathed, but my suspension would say otherwise. Now my football career is in jeopardy.
To get back in the coach’s good graces, I decide to hire a tutor. But the girl who answers my ad is distractingly beautiful. And when I learn the secret she’s keeping, it becomes clear we’re both in over our heads. The Scorpio Society isn’t done with me, and now they’ve also set their sights on her. Playing their game is the only way to survive, so I match their deceit with a lie of my own. These privileged predators won’t rest until their darkness and destruction consumes us both. But we’re not going down without a fight.
*Deceit & Destruction is volume 2 in The Power & Privilege Series but can be read and enjoyed as a full-length, standalone romance novel.*

I finally admitted they were never coming home. I hit rock bottom, living on the streets until a kind woman with a basket of muffins changed my life. I had to decide, would I choose life or death?

Bad Beat is book 7 in the series A Good Run Of Bad Luck and should be read in order. This book also precedes Parker and GoodKnight from The Reed Security series.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
As President of the Manchester Chapter of the Untamed Sons my job is simple: defend our territory and expand our reach. Ravage sent me here to build an empire and over the years that’s what I did. I carved out a slice of paradise for me and my brothers. We reaped the rewards of that peace, until a brother’s ex turns up and tells him his daughter is in danger.
None of us knew of Pia’s existence, but she’s a brother’s kid and that makes her family. We ride out to confront the club she was taken by and as soon as I lay eyes on her I know she’s mine. Beneath the bruises, I can tell Pia is beautiful and I’m instantly drawn to her. She’s also off limits, but I can’t stay away. I want to heal all her wounds and show her she’s not broken by what happened to her.
Pia
I never expected to be taken as payment for my ex-husband’s debt. The Road Jesters MC used and abused me in ways I can never recover from. When the Sons rode in to save me, there was only one person I trusted: Howler, their president. I should be terrified of him, but he soothes the demons that stalk me now. I don’t understand why his club saved me, but as truths are revealed I realise how tied I am to the Untamed Sons and that Howler will do anything to protect me from the threat of the Road Jesters.
