    About this ebook

    Campbell Creek, North Carolina has not seen a murder in seventeen years so when bones are discovered in the old bread factory Officer Will Harmon, a twenty-five year veteran of the small town's police force, is determined to get to the bottom of it no matter who stands in his way.

    His wife Laura, a stay-at-home-mom with a penchant for sewing and sticking her nose in all the right places, knows there is more troubling their town than one dead body. She is determined to protect it and needs her husband's help, whether he likes it or not.

    Will and Laura don't know it yet, but they are in for the fight of their lives - a fight to protect those they love and everything they hold dear. It's all up to them and they will do whatever it takes to win against the darkness invading their town.

      Right from the start this book grab my attention and I didn't want to put the book down until I was done with it. I love all the suspense in this book and it was also a nice change to read a book where it isn't super graphic like some of the other books I have read are. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
    • 4/5
      This was a new author and a new series for me. The murder mystery investigation was important, but readers also become involved in Laura's fight against the town's politicians regarding the new development...and we learn quickly that Laura is a formidable woman! In fact, readers will enjoy meeting the whole family and will begin to look forward to meeting them again in the series. The ending was a surprise and was handled quite effectively even though it involved an unexpected turn. I know that I want to continue the series...or at least give one more a book a try to see if it continues to intrigue me. I really liked the small-town setting...the people...and the writing style that's been presented here.
