One Last Lie (A Tara Mills...

Sarah Sutton

Women are being brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado, their bodies stuffed into the trunks of their cars, and they all have one thing in common: they were meeting someone for a date that they met online. It’s clear a serial killer is at large, and FBI Agent Tara Mills is quickly on the case. But she soon learns that none of the women were meeting the same person, or so it seems, because none of the victims’ dates can be tracked down either.

As Tara digs deep into the world of online dating, and as more women turn up dead, she soon realizes that the killer’s web is larger than she ever imagined. With the killer always one step ahead, taking on a new identity and leaving no trail, Tara fears she has finally met her match.

Tara is pushed to her limits. But with the secrets of her past finally resolved, she hopes she can finally lay it to rest and focus wholeheartedly on the case. But when she learns that her biggest nightmare is yet to come, she fears that she has only made things worse for herself, for her fiancé, and for their future.

Under Vixens Mere

Kit Fielding

After Harry Jones takes his life in the chilling waters of Vixens Mere, not one body is found by the police rescue team, but two. 
 
"A darkly humorous and deeply moving tale of community" - Ruth Hogan 
 
Tucked away in the English countryside, the run-down marina at Vixens Mere hosts a ragtag community of houseboats whose lives are as tangled as their mooring ropes. 
 
Harry Jones’s death dredges up more than grief: a second body in the water, hidden love affairs, and old grudges. As the marina begins to reveal the truths of the past, its dwellers unify against investigators, vindictive exes, and anyone else who tries to break them. 
 
The boats of Vixens Mere brim with secrets… A marriage broken by war, a guilty lover returning, a ramshackle haven for aging hippies, a newcomer chasing a better life, a home haunted by addiction, and a loyal outcast whose devotion turns deadly. 
 
Step aboard and lose yourself in the secrets, betrayals, and unbreakable ties of a small community. 
 
"Kit Fielding has done an excellent job of managing his large cast and of bringing every one of them to life. And of killing some of them." - Bruno Noble, author of "The Colletta Cassettes"
