Margie Benedict

Three gripping time-travel tales of love and murder… 
BEFORE THE KILLING: After 19-year-old Cassie returns home from her first year away at college, her boyfriend, Julian, is implicated in a brutal killing. Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge. But in witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who pursues her in past and present both. “Once I started I couldn’t put it down!” -Bookshelf Adventures 
BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN: 25-year-old Rebecca Danser's life is a mess ever since she was six and her younger sister Sadie disappeared on her watch. But then she realizes the time-traveling ability she recently gained can be used to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. What she learns leads her into a remote forest in the Sierra Mountains, where the monster responsible for the destruction of her family lies in wait for her. "A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Award 
BEFORE HE VANISHED: Still troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who've gone missing, Rebecca takes up the case of a Black-American boy who vanished a year ago. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. But Rebecca puts her past and present at great risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator most likely responsible for Ethan's vanishing. “Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize 
"(Benedict's) prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)
