Esther Brookstone, ex-MI6 agent in East Berlin in the Cold War and ex-Scotland Yard Inspector in the Art and Antiques Division, is on her honeymoon with Interpol agent Bastiann van Coevorden. Their idyllic cruise down the Danube is interrupted when a reclusive and mysterious passenger is murdered. Why was the victim alone on that riverboat filled with couples, in a stateroom by himself? And who killed him? Esther and Bastiann were often called Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot by wags at the Yard, and this addition to the series might remind readers of Christie’s Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express, but this mystery/thriller is very much a story set in the twenty-first century. So tour the Danube with Esther and Bastiann…and enjoy the ride!

 

Praise for Death on the Danube:

“Death on the Danube is the third book in the Esther Brookstone Art Detective Series by Steven M. Moore, and it is a wonderful blend of mystery and murder; a story that will be loved by fans of sleuth novels. Esther Brookstone served in East Berlin during the Cold War as an MI6 agent and she has also been a Scotland Yard Inspector. She is on honeymoon with her husband, Bastiann van Coevorden, an Interpol agent. On the Danube, they are alerted to the murder of a mysterious passenger. He occupied the stateroom by himself on a riverboat filled with couples. Who was this man and why would anyone murder him? What follows is an exciting ride to uncover the killer and the motive behind the murder.

 

 

 

I didn’t read the first two books in this series, but Death on the Danube is a thrill ride, a suspenseful story that can be read as a standalone novel. The plot is cleverly written, and it twists as the mystery deepens. It is unpredictable and fun and I was eager to discover who the victim of the murder was, find out why he was murdered, and find out who the killer was. The author doesn’t make it easy for readers, and I enjoyed the twists introduced into the story to sustain the interest of the reader and keep them guessing and turning the pages. Steven M. Moore is a master storyteller who creates characters with depth and thrusts them into complex situations. I loved the way the relationship between Esther and Bastiann is written, the great pacing, and the wonderful writing.”—Gobi Jane, in her Readers’ Favorite 5-star review.

A Neo-Nazi conspiracy threatens Europe . . .

Esther Brookstone’s life is at a crossroads. A Scotland Yard inspector who specializes in stolen art, she’s reluctantly considering retirement. A three-time widow, she can’t quite decide whether paramour and colleague Interpol Agent Bastiann van Coevorden should be husband number four. Decisions are put on hold while she and Bastiann set out to thwart a neo-Nazi conspiracy financed in part by artworks stolen during World War II. Among the stolen art is the masterpiece “An Angel with Titus’ Features,” a work Esther obsesses about recovering.

The case sends the intrepid pair on an international hunt spanning several European countries and the Amazon jungle. Evading capture and thwarting death, Esther and Bastiann prove time and again that adrenaline-spiked adventures aren’t just for the young.

Esther Brookstone is at it again, this time obsessing about the life and times of St. John the Divine, all triggered by the discovery of a parchment hidden in the frame of a Botticelli painting that she authenticates. As in Rembrandt’s Angel, she soon gets into trouble, and her paramour, Interpol agent Bastiann van Coevorden, again comes to her aid. A race to find the saint’s tomb results, because Esther has competition. Three centuries of action involving the saint, the Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, and Esther and Bastiann, make this sequel a book of mystery, thrills, and suspense that will keep readers guessing.

A deftly crafted and consistently riveting read from beginning to end. Rembrandt’s Angel showcases author Steven Moore’s genuine flair for originality and his impressive mastery of the Mystery/Suspense genre.

getting married on Christmas Eve and she has two whole weeks to spend in the
snow-covered mountains, with the three foster sisters she loves and Maddie,
the woman who made them a family fifteen years ago.

Things get off to a rough start when the wedding is canceled, but Maddie
asks them to enjoy their holidays together at the festive lodge as planned,

Luke, a boy she knew from her early childhood when she spent all her time at
the local library.

feelings for Luke, who is all grown up now, handsome, and as kind as ever.
He’s set on staying close to his family in Granite Ridge and she has a

between them merely due to the nostalgia of the season, or will Luke open
Jo’s heart to the prospect of passion for something beyond her
career?

second chances, along with a few furry friends, you’ll fall in love
with Jo and her soul sisters in CHRISTMAS WISHES, Book 3 of Soul Sisters at

About the Author

 Judith Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New
York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two
dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.

While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young
age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library,
or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the
books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid
imaginations.

A hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes, Ms. Keim
writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet
them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her
best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she’s lived or
visited and on the interesting people she’s met, creating believable
characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim
loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her
stories.

Kristin Meadows loves her nights at KinkLink. The club is her outlet to
release her desires and as a domme she anticipates the play — controlling
her sub, gaining their trust, their loyalty. She loves it all. So why in the
heck is she panting after her best friend’s husband’s brother? Yeah, the guy
equaled sex on a stick but he was no more a sub than she was, and two doms
don’t play. And to top it all off, the father she never knew she had, turns
out to be a thug and suddenly wants to spend quality time with his daughter?
Who needs a father figure now? All she’s trying to figure out is why she
can’t get Ryan Boynton out of her head!

Ryan Boynton is struggling with his role. Having been a sub the last years
and being pushed to his limits he realized the lie he’d been living all this
time. He was happy for his brother, he got the girl — and he wasn’t even
missing the sharing they used to play, but he did miss his brother’s wife’s
friend, the hot babe he fell for at their wedding. But there’s one problem.
Neither of them were subs . Neither of them were true doms. So what the hell
were they? All Ryan knew, is that it’s time to find out — and that there
will be a lot more switching going on.

Sometimes finding the love of your life is all about making a switch.

 

CAUTION: Alpha hero, bad-boy romance that’s utterly addictive and
outrageously satisfying.

is reciprocated. As the three work together on her case they become very
close. The twins introduce her to a world unknown to her with whips and
cuffs and crosses that have nothing to do with religion. As Jessa learns

other is left questioning everything he thought he knew about himself and
his brother.

 Excerpt

CHAPTER ONE

 

Kristin

    THE AIR IN her mother’s backyard was sticky for early
September. “I wrote you a poem,” Kristin’s mother, Doris, said. Kristin’s
nerves, shaky at best when she was near her mother, ramped into
overdrive.

    Doris’ poems were lumps of her mother’s morality of
iambic pentameter. They all followed the theme that she feared Kristin, the
daughter she labored for eight hours to give birth to, then raised alone,
would be going straight to hell, unless she followed Doris’ dictums on how
to live her life.

    Kristin scanned the lines her mother wrote, bracing
herself. Titled “Shifting Winds,” Doris compared the twists and turns of
life to soft, gusting and steady winds. How it was best to stay on a good
path and not let raging winds divert you from your goals. All in all, not as
judgmental as others had been – and Kristin shared little with her mother
about her love life or lack thereof.

    What her mom didn’t know, was that she was a
card-carrying member of kinklink.com and that she planned to attend an event
that night.
