Nailed (Ron Ketchum Book 1)

FREE

Author: Joseph Flynn

Genre: Mystery Thriller / Police Procedural

Ron Ketchum left the darkness of L.A. behind. But evil found him anyway. 🌲🔍

Ron Ketchum saw more than his share of the dark side during twenty years as an LAPD cop. Burned out and looking for peace, he became chief of police in Goldstrike—a wealthy, picturesque Sierra Nevada resort town where celebrities rub elbows with locals and the biggest problems are usually speeding tickets and noise complaints.

Then one sunny morning, everything changes. Ron stumbles upon a crime unlike anything he’s ever witnessed: the body of an African American man nailed to a tree in a sick parody of crucifixion. The victim is a highly respected minister, and his father is Jimmy Thunder, a nationally known televangelist. The media descends on Goldstrike like locusts. The victim’s grandmother arrives and publicly declares that God will curse the town until the killer is caught. 😱

Here’s the problem: Ron has described himself in court as a “recovering bigot.” Goldstrike’s mayor for life—movie icon Clay Steadman—wants the case solved fast, before the town’s reputation is destroyed. As Ron investigates, he discovers that beneath Goldstrike’s serene, accepting facade lurk plenty of closet racists with secrets to hide. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, a rogue mountain lion starts attacking people. 🦁

Two parallel hunts—one for a human killer, one for a deadly predator—race toward a gripping conclusion with surprise endings on both counts. In a town where everyone knows everyone, who can Ron trust? And can he catch a murderer before more blood is shed? 💀

What caught my attention: Joseph Flynn is an accomplished thriller writer with multiple acclaimed series, including the bestselling Jim McGill political thriller series (15+ books) and the John Tall Wolf series. With Nailed, Flynn launched the Ron Ketchum Mystery series and proved his versatility beyond Washington politics. This is police procedural done right—complex characters, social commentary that doesn’t preach, tight plotting with genuine surprises, and a protagonist whose personal demons make him more human, not less capable. Readers consistently praise this as “one of the best free Kindle books” they’ve discovered, with many saying they lost sleep to finish it. Flynn tackles uncomfortable subjects—racism, prejudice, redemption—with nuance and respect, creating a story that’s both a page-turner and genuinely thought-provoking. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, C.J. Box, and Nevada Barr who appreciate mountain settings, flawed but honorable cops, and mysteries that don’t insult your intelligence. The series continues with Defiled and Impaled—and if you enjoy this, Flynn’s other series feature crossover characters that enrich the entire fictional universe he’s created! 🎯

Murder With a Fudge Brownie to Go (Ivy Clark Mysteries Book 3)

FREE

Author: Kristy T Dixon

Genre: Cozy Mystery

A vacation gone wrong. A mysterious message. A murder hidden for ten years. 📚☕

Ivy Clark has her hands full. The diner is expanding, plans for a much-needed vacation are finally coming together, and life in her small town seems to be settling into a comfortable rhythm. But when Ivy stumbles upon a cryptic message scribbled in the back of a library book, everything changes. The note hints at a murder—but is it real, or just someone’s idea of a sick prank? 🔍

Tabitha Coat’s death was ruled an accidental drowning ten years ago. Case closed. Everyone moved on. But what if they were wrong? What if Tabitha didn’t drown accidentally? Ivy can’t let it go. She can’t rest until she uncovers the truth, even if it means combing through every single book in the town library searching for more clues.

As Ivy digs deeper, enlisting help from her quirky crew at the diner, the mystery becomes more dangerous. Someone doesn’t want the past uncovered. The closer she gets to the truth, the more perilous her search becomes. Will Ivy solve a decade-old murder, or will she share Tabitha’s fate? 😱

And through it all, there’s still the small matter of running a diner, managing the expansion, navigating her slow-burn romance with Jett, and dealing with her adorable (if slightly annoying) cat, Creepers. Just another week in Ivy Clark’s life! 🍰

Why you’ll love this: Kristy T Dixon started writing stories at age seven and never stopped! With a degree in English from the University of Utah, she’s the mother of nine children (and six chickens) who writes cozy mysteries and fantasy when she’s not playing board games or eating cookies. The Ivy Clark Mysteries series is rapidly growing, with ten books planned and readers devouring each installment. What makes this series special? Fun, bantering characters that feel like real people you’d want as friends. Mysteries that keep you guessing without being overly dark. A romance that doesn’t overpower the mystery—it enhances it. And bonus recipes at the end of each book! Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson, and anyone who loves small-town settings, amateur sleuths, and cozies that are genuinely fun to read. These are quick, clean reads (usually finished in a day) that leave you smiling and immediately reaching for the next book.

FREE

Author: David A. Wells

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy / Epic Fantasy

Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were meteorites. We were wrong. 🐉💥

Six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell, but we shrugged it off and went on with our lives. More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small, weak, working in the shadows—manipulating people, offering magic as payment. Years passed, and we never noticed the evil growing in our midst.

Then the war began. Nine billion people killed in an afternoon. Survivors called it the apocalypse. The dragons revealed themselves, burning vast swaths of what remained, taunting and murdering anyone still alive. Four leaders arose to fight back: The Wizard, the Dragon Rider, the Monk, and the Dragon Slayer. Allied with a rebel dragon, they waged war for years until they too were defeated, scattered, or killed.

When the war ended, only one dragon remained. But that single dragon was enough to plunge the world into tyranny.

Now it’s Earth, 2178—seventy-five years after Dragonfall. The world has changed beyond recognition. Magic exists. Technology has regressed. And the last dragon rules with absolute power. But there are those who remember freedom, who refuse to give up hope. The resistance begins here. 🔥

The complete trilogy is available, so no waiting for the next book! 🌟
