Synopsis

A terrible, implacable hatred. Jenny shivered. The needle had been a statement. And so too had the scene.
 
When Jenny Meaden moves to the quiet Cotswold town of Kerston after her husband dies, she looks forward to a peaceful new chapter in her life. But while volunteering at the local library, she stumbles upon a man slumped in his chair, a knitting needle stabbed through his chest.
 
Together with fellow volunteer Neeta Biddle, Jenny starts to unravel the mystery. They discover that the victim, retired schoolteacher Avery Sykes, had a past riddled with scandal and secrets—as well as a totally unexpected double life. In between sparring with the investigating officer, Detective Inspector Marek O’Keeffe, they begin to piece the clues together.
 
When another body is uncovered, Jenny and Neeta realize the solution must lie deep in past events. But can they get to the truth before one of them becomes the killer’s next target?

    ONE LAST UNVEIL is book three in the FBI mystery series by author Sarah Sutton.A true-crime podcaster is found brutally stabbed to death in her home after walking her child to the bus stop. At first, all signs point to those closest to her. But when a friend and fellow podcaster digs into her obsession—a cold case laid to rest for fifteen years—and later turns up dead too, local police and the FBI realize that a serial killer dubbed the Silent Stalker could be striking again for the first time in years. With the FBI called in and no leads to follow, they quickly realize they need a brilliant mind to crack the case: FBI Agent Tara Mills. But Tara is reluctant at first. The case reminds her too much of her mother’s when it’s revealed that the victim’s daughter, a selective mute, lost her mother at the same age as Tara. But Tara is compelled as she realizes it is only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As she peels back each layer, she falls deeper into the darkest depths of her mind and into the nightmares she had tried so hard to escape.  Meanwhile, Tara digs deeper into her past, obsessed with revealing the mystery woman visiting her father in prison, which leads to a shocking discovery. As she battles her own psyche and more victims are murdered, Tara realizes that the key to solving it all could be what she finds most triggering: her connection to the victim’s daughter. As she takes a path she fears to travel, deep into the depths of her mind, she unveils a truth she never expected.Book #4—ONE LAST LIE—will be available soon!

    The deal was sealed the moment she stepped onto that stage. It was like seeing a ghost: sunshine-blonde hair, pale skin, azure eyes that held a thousand secrets. I didn’t know what caused her to end up on that auction block, and I didn’t care. All I knew was that I had to have her—no matter the cost. A million dollars later, she became mine. Mine to break. Mine to use. Mine to keep. *This standalone novel contains dark themes, including those involving sex and violence—but, as always, there’s a happily ever after and no cheating.
