A Hush at Midnight
By Marlene Bell
Book Summary
Celebrity chef Laura Harris dwells
on the horror of finding her mentor’s body in the groundskeeper’s disheveled
bed—pillow and bedding half covering her open eyes—purple bruising around her
mouth. A grisly snapshot in time revealing the Texas woman’s last moments
during her attack. The elderly matriarch from the small town of Stenburg has
left the physical world, and Laura is shattered.
She is catapulted headlong into
the pursuit of a casual executioner, one bold enough to come
and go from the crime scene with
ease, dropping bizarre crumb trails designed to mock the
deceased. But Laura herself
doesn’t go unnoticed. As she digs deeper, she is followed and
bombarded by warnings to leave the
state.
When the victim’s attorney informs
Laura that she’s to inherit the entire Stenburg fortune, the
last act of kindness has made
Laura the main person of interest in the investigation.
Message by message, Laura is
methodically taunted by someone so deranged and driven
they’ll do whatever it takes to
dislodge Laura from Texas – permanently.
