The New Hampshire Mysteries are back in print!

Hello fellow lovers of mysteries!

 

The New Hampshire Mysteries are back in paperback format on Amazon!

 

A few years ago, I unpublished Daddy Soda, Rock Spider, and Tar Heart, taking them off the market while I edited and otherwise improved the stories. Though I republished all three novels as a single ebook anthology on Kindle Unlimited, I never re-published the paperbacks... until now!

 

If you've never read The New Hampshire Mysteries, the characters and plots are only loosely connected between books, causing each novel to read more like a stand-alone story. What connects them is the location where the series is set, which is the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Read the book descriptions below, buy all three novels, and curl up with these dark, psychological thrillers to get you through the rest of winter!

DADDY SODA (A NEW HAMPSHIRE MYSTERY, BOOK ONE)

Hannah Cole has built a life around her job as a receptionist at the local precinct after surviving a tumultuous upbringing, one she's worked hard to forget. For years, Hannah has hardly spoken to her overbearing mother or the half-sisters she barely knows: shy Candice, and Mary, a stunning fifteen year old with an eerie grip on the town. But when she learns her mother has been kidnapped, she returns home to the shack on Hermit Lake and the step-father she's never trusted.

 

Detective Cody McAlister has never seen a case like this. The kidnapper has planned every detail with exquisite precision and when body parts begin to arrive at his department, the glaring reality becomes all too clear: Kendra won't be alive for long. The key to the deranged kidnapper's motive and identity may be held in the unsteady hands of a twelve-year old girl. But Candice hasn't spoken a word since that tragic night.

 

As Hannah and Cody's investigation takes them from abandoned strip malls to the outer reaches of the marsh, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Hannah finds herself reliving hellish memories of the shack she thought she'd never have to face. If she doesn't unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past, she won't find her mother in time. In small-town New Hampshire where what you see is what you get, no one is who they seem. 

Praise for Daddy Soda

 

Excellent/Outstanding Storyline

The storyline was excellent and the cast of characters, outstanding. This book held my attention from beginning to end. This book has romance, mystery Whodunit and awful things. Hannah and Cody. Overall a good book and would make a great lifetime movie! HEA ending. I will read the other books in this series/by this author. – Barnes & Noble 5-star review

 

You will not want to put this one down till the end

This is the first book I have read of Mira Gibson and will not be the last! She had me riveted from the first page - I had to continue reading to find out what happened next and who did these terrible things to Kendra and her family and why?! You think you have it figured it and then something else happens to make you rethink things. The ending was such a surprise that you are really rooting for the ones you thought had done the atrocities that their lives will get better after what happened to them! – Amazon 5-star review

ROCK SPIDER (A NEW HAMPSHIRE MYSTERY, BOOK TWO)

In the chill of a foggy night, life as Gertrude Inman knows it ends when her car crashes into the murky waters of a quiet lake, killing her teenage sister. Though she survives, she has no memory of the accident or the long, disturbing night leading up to it.

 

Returning to her position as a social worker, she's assigned only one case: to assess the home of a reclusive family where a ten-year old girl died by suicide. The mother is a former Hollywood starlet, the father a retired cop, but it's their seventeen-year old daughter - a peculiar girl with a cunning smile and a mysterious hold on the family - who reminds Gertrude of horrifying, fragmented memories. And this seemingly straightforward case launches her into an investigation that will threaten the very fabric of her sanity.

 

Jake Livingston has had his eye on the family and not just because he's been reporting on the strange occurrences that have been happening ever since their youngest took her own life. Men have gone missing, others are winding up in jail, and it would seem those who cross paths with the Kings are silenced in the same bizarre, ritualistic manner. If the woman from social services isn't careful, he knows she'll be next.

 

As Gertrude delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding the suicide, it proves to be linked to a brutal crime, one far more shocking than she could have imagined because it has everything to do with the night her sister died.

Praise for Rock Spider

 

Rock Spiders

The characters, wow...the book held my attention from beginning to the end! My next book is Tar Heart because I purchased all three of this author's books. I gave this book 5 stars because of Gerty and Jake. – Barnes & Nobles 5-star review

 

Rock Spider!

This was an awesome read. This is the second book I've read by this author. She is a great writer. The book was well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat, which is what you want when reading a good book. I could barely put it down stayed up late many nights! Eager to find out what would happen next. Many surprising twists in this book. Would definitely recommend this book as well as this author to anyone looking for a great read. – Amazon 5-star review 

TAR HEART (A NEW HAMPSHIRE MYSTERY, BOOK THREE)

Recently transferred to the Center Harbor Police Department in the dead of winter, Detective Lucas York is on the downhill slide of a once-promising career when he's called to Squam Lake where a body lies trapped beneath a thick sheet of ice.

The victim, beautiful and respected, appeared to have the perfect life—a charming husband, an adorable baby boy, an idyllic estate a mere breath away from the lake. She also appears to have the face of a woman with whom Lucas shared a dark, lustful night nearly a decade ago, one that has haunted him into obsession.

 

It's been years since Holly Danes has seen her identical twin, a fact she both regrets and rationalizes. Rose had her secrets and it tore them apart, but nothing can prepare Holly for the dangerous world she must infiltrate in order to catch a killer who left no clues. Peeling back the layers of her twin's troubled past, she slips into Rose's life in search of answers. And the deadly game of cat and mouse that results traps her with the one man whose need to uncover the truth is as intense as her own. But can she trust Lucas when this case begins to stir the most volatile of human emotions in his heart?

 

As Lucas and Holly sift through the circumstances of Rose's increasingly disturbing lifestyle, a stunning discovery changes everything they thought they knew about the enigmatic woman. And when the killer strikes again and again, they are pulled down a deceiving trail of smoke and mirrors, unaware that someone very close to them is the murderous psychopath.

Praise for Tar Heart

 

Tar Heart was recommended. I have always been a fan of such ...

Mira Gibson is new to me. Tar Heart was recommended. I have always been a fan of such greats as Lee Child, Karin Slaughter, Catherine Coulter, Elizabeth Haynes, Lisa Gardner....and now Mira Gibson!!! This book is awesome. Easy to read and full of excitement and suspense. It makes you "turn another page" just to see what's coming next! I couldn't put it down. I loved it. I said "Wow...I did not see that coming" several times as I read. Great characters. Interesting twists. Well described scenes. Now, I will go back and buy the two previous New Hampshire novels!! I am hooked on Mira Gibson. Thank you!! – Amazon 5-star review

 

Tar Heart - Never Saw the Ending

A great mystery story, I really enjoyed it! The story was well written, no grammatical errors or mis-spelling. I did not see the end at all, or at least not until the protagonist gave someone coffee and she was very quickly incapacitated. Twins and a police officer who got them mixed up, because he endured unbelievable abuse while he was growing up. I think there may have been a prequel to this story, as there were some things that were hard to understand. All-in-all, a great story. – Amazon 5-star review

 

Happy reading!
