Plain Jane: A mystery/thriller not for the faint of heart (Harbinger Murder Mystery Series)
Overview: Plain Jane: Brunettes Beware
A Patterson-style thriller with a dash of Hannibal...
A city paralyzed by a serial killer stalking the night, taking a most gruesome trophy.
The only standing in the murderer's way is an FBI profiler...recently released from a mental institution.
Plain Jane combines the swift action of Patterson with the macabre of Harris.
Just remember to keep the lights on when reading this one!
More Praise for Plain Jane...
"When I read on the author's blog that Plain Jane was a "Patterson-style thriller with a dash of Hannibal" I knew right away that I wanted to read it. I was not disappointed and in my honest opinion this book is incredible!"
A. Harris
"Right out of the gate this book creeped me out. Being a brunette myself, the title alone was enough to scare me! This was a seriously good book. Words like unhinged, grotesque, shocking, intriguing, and macabre were spinning through my head as I read the stunning and suspenseful pages."

[#1. I got this for free back in February when it was also on the list. Have not looked at it. It may not be for everyone given the large number of unfavorable reviews. An author who is on the list regularly.]
Darc Murders Collection (The #1 Police Procedural/Hard Boiled Mystery Series)
**Warning, this collection includes GRAPHIC crime scenes and taut thrills. Please do not buy this collection unless you have a strong stomach and don't scare easily!
Praise for the Darc Murders Collection...
"I really really like this series.....not my usual reading, as I normally
read paranormal romance/HEA stories. McCray's work is a refreshing
break for me of my usual reading material. Definitely not for the faint
of heart---gory and violence is graphically described, possibly giving
you not-so-nice dreams. This is a great deal for all the books included."

mysteries and would definitely recommend the Darc Collection to all.
Carolyn McCray delivers 5 Stars in each of these books. She has become
one of my all time favorite authors, because no matter what book."

More Praise for the Darc Murders Collections...
"WOW, just WOW! I don't think I've ever come across such a gruesome
series of crime scenes! Further knowing each of the scenes were booby
trapped, had me cringing and then to read the full spectre of the
carnage, left me in equal parts awe and queasiness of the macabre
imaginings of the writers!
They pulled out the big guns! There was
gore galore! Luckily, I like that in a thriller, it makes the suspense
that much higher and the take down of the bad guy that much more
satisfying.
What I didn't expect was to be so enchanted by the
characters. I loved the eclectic mix, from the brilliant but emotionally
challenged Detective with Aspergers to his laid back empathetic partner
plus the razor sharp mind of the child psychologist consultant and the
adorable and brave sole survivor, little Janey. All these nuances and
traits give a rich tapestry to the book and endear you to the clever
writing of Carolyn and Ben."

"I definitely recommend the Darc Murders Collection. The character
development is phenomenal, story development is superb-- I thoroughly
enjoyed reading both 9th Circle and 7th Sin; the story telling entwined
with the characteristics of Darc's aspergers is incredibly entertaining.
Not for the faint of heart, lots of gore and suspense, great mystery
series.

[#23. From the same publisher as #1 and #17 today. The summary reads like at least the off the top summaries were written by the same person. Another "might not be for everyone" kind of book. The same "publisher" has several other books on the top 100 free list today that I did not bother to link to as they did not interest me - they seemed more like chick lit.]
Dark Moonlighting
Nick Whittier, having been alive for six centuries, has had plenty of time to master three professions. In a typical week he works as a police officer, lawyer and doctor and still finds time to murder someone and drink their blood. He used to feel guilty about the killings, but now he restricts himself to only eating the worst members of society. Few people in Starside, Illinois seem to care about the untimely deaths of spam e-mailers, pushy Jehovah Witnesses and politicians. However, the barriers between Nick’s three secret lives start to crumble when a mysterious man from his past arrives in town seeking revenge. Nick must move quickly to prevent the three women in his life, and the authorities who are hunting him, from discovering his terrible secret.
Dark Moonlighting is humorous and aimed at the adult market. It explores four of the biggest clichés in popular culture, and it pokes fun at a number of popular television shows including Law & Order, Bones and House. It also takes a more realistic and amusing approach to the vampire cliché. For example, the average human has the equivalent of five Big Gulps worth of blood in their body. Nick takes twenty minutes to kill someone and, like the vampire bat, must immediately urinate afterwards.
