'Til Death

By HC Hammond

Jack stood. He walked towards her, a smoking cigar in one hand and one of the empty rattraps in the other. Meredith’s lips drooped the closer he got. She saw the noticeable, purpling flesh on the hand that held the trap.

“What the hell is the meaning of this?” He held the sprung trap out to Meredith. His hand swelling and a thin red line running across the tops of his fingers.

“You should have a doctor look at that.”

“It was in my cigar box, Meredith.”

“Your fingers could be broken.”

“Is this some sick attempt to get my attention? You’ve certainly got it now.” He said. Jack towered over Meredith, his eyes narrowed.

A fun and interesting novella, but i found it a little predictable and it didn't really hold my interest for very long. I really wanted to like this book more.

Amanda is driving her motorcycle on a trip that was supposed to be a celebration of the end of her divorce, but Charley, the scumbag, had it postponed again this morning. She’s driving too fast when her brakes begin to fail and she loses control and ends up falling over a cliff. Charley is yelling at her to wake up; goading her to climb up to the road or she’s going to die, yet he won’t give her a hand. It turns out Charley had been killed right after she’d last seen him and it’s believed she’s the murderer, and his ghost is tied to her. Her bike had been tampered with by the guy who killed Charley. She needs to get proof or she’ll end up in jail—or dead. It turns out Charley, a conman, had lied about a lot of things during their short marriage, including the fact that he was an orphan. So Amanda is really surprised when this warm loving woman comes to see Amanda, telling her she’s Charley’s mother and the entire—large—family wants her to spend time with them.Interesting characters and concept, and you just have to love Charley’s family. The story has a lot of emotion, humor and intensity. Via Charley, who can no longer tell a lie, we know quite a bit of the who and why. But proving it will be another matter, especially since the guy is both rich and in a rather high ranking position. A somewhat entertaining story as long as you overlook some things that don’t make sense, such as her divorce lawyer also working as her defense lawyer.
