“Wait, what just happened?” is the best review I read for this book. I most heartily concur with that statement. Successful author Grady Green’s wife disappeared on a rainy night one year ago. Since then his life has unraveled and he’s been unable to write or sleep.

Six years later his murder is still unsolved and the girls have scattered. Mallory has been struggling with fibromyalgia, Diana is busy […]

Total psychopath or justifiably big mad at her treatment at the hands of her wealthy bio-family? That’s for us and a jury of her peers to decide! Grace Bernard has been imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit. But not for any of the several murders she did carry out. Getting away with all of the murders is the ultimate goal, but as Grace languishes in prison waiting for her appeal she’s got some time to kill. What better way to fill that time than […]
