From the #1 bestselling author in Hardboiled Mysteries, Police Procedurals, War, and Action/Adeventure comes Mayflower Murders?
Think you know about the Pilgrims? Think again. So many deaths, but were they really caused by bad weather and lack of crops or was something much more sinister happening?
Praise for Mayflower Murders...
"It's a strong story with laughter, pain, grief, hate and love. The cast of characters are also strong and so perfect a match to the swift moving flow of the story. I could not lay this book down, it had me laughing till tears ran, filled with anger till I wanted to scream, then so surprised I could have never seen this coming! I highly recommend this wonderful story."

"Part mystery, part adventure, with a twist of history and a dash of romance. This is an excellent mystery with so many twists and turns throughout that you're kept guessing right up until the very end. Every time i thought i had it figured out, there was another twist, another secret revealed or another possible suspect. At first, I admit, I was skeptical. Historical fiction is not usually my "go to" genre and the old colonial style English took a little getting used to, but it sure didn't take long (well before the end of the first chapter) I was hooked. A wonderful mystery emerged, with a well developed group of characters that were engaging and real. I definitely recommend this book, which is written by two authors who never disappoint"

"Hopkin weaves a great historical fiction. The story centers on the early pilgrims and offers an alternative view on why so many didn't survive the New World very long. The use of archaic phrases and expressions makes the read especially fun, as do the twists and turns. The Native Americans are given equal attention by the author, making the story rich and diverse. I especially responded to the treatment of religion in the book. It's an interesting approach to people using religion for good and evil purposes. Even if you might correctly guess who the killer is before it's revealed, the characters and their pain and struggles will still keep you engaged in the story. There's more here than a simple whodunnit. Definitely recommend."

Overview:
Bodies are stacking up and only a disgraced doctor and a heathen can solve the mystery behind all the deaths.

"Was pulled in the first chapter. Couldn't put it down. Had to know what was happening to the characters that had somehow become friends. It's been awhile since I stayed up all night reading. Well worth the extra coffee the next day."
