The Girl from Silent Lake: A totally gripping and heart-pounding crime thriller (Detective Kay Sharp Book 1)

Detective Kay Sharp swore she would never return to her childhood home. On her thirteenth birthday, her family fractured irreparably, and she left Mount Chester behind. For over a decade, she has worked as an FBI profiler, driven to help others solve crimes she couldn't prevent in her own life. Now Kay is back in her small hometown, called to investigate a murder that has shocked the tight-knit community. A woman's body has been discovered by Silent Lake, wrapped in a blanket with her hair braided. The ritualistic details convince Kay that a serial killer is responsible, and she believes he will strike again soon. When another woman, Alison Nolan, goes missing along with her six-year-old daughter Hazel, Kay leads an urgent search. The discovery of Alison's car with a teddy bear in the backseat raises the stakes dramatically. As Kay hunts for the killer, her own buried past begins to surface, threatening to complicate the investigation. She must catch the murderer before another victim is claimed, while confronting secrets she thought were long forgotten.
