“This title has all the elements of a good mystery: a puzzling crime, dark secrets, fast-paced writing, and deadpan humor…Riveting and a real page-turner; fans of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett novels or Craig Johnson’s ‘Longmire’ series will feel at home.”
–Library Journal
Elle Grawl, What Still Burns
(Thomas & Mercer)
“Dark, absorbing, and altogether addictive. Alternating between Lex Blake’s chilling past and her present-day return to the twisted small town she was desperate to flee, What Still Burns is a firestorm of suspense.”
