The Strange Crimes of Beatrice Clover

Book blurb

What would you do if someone you knew committed a murder?

Halloween night. A dead husband. A missing wife.  A sister looking for her.  A detective searching for answers.

Detective Robert Walton is assigned to what should be an open-and-shut case.  A domestic homicide.  Surprisingly, it occurred in one of Denver's quieter, safer, suburbs.  Not the kind of place you expect a murder.

Is she a victim too? Or a suspect?

That isn't the only surprise.  It's the husband who's dead. Drowned in his own bathtub. His wife, Bethany, and their two children are missing. Is she a victim too? Or a suspect?

Detective Walton has 72 hours to find her and the kids before they're gone…or dead. Enter Dr. Julie Carpenter, the sister of the missing wife, who will work with Detective Walton to solve the mystery.  Only, there are no clues.  No motive.  Nothing to go on.  Except for a strange collection of notebooks found in the basement of the house containing frightful stories of murders, kidnappings, and other strange and terrible crimes.  There is a name on the notebooks.  A beloved author who disappeared years ago.  Beatrice Clover.

If you love unputdownable books that pay off with a killer twist you will never see coming...then buy "Gone Girl." But if you've already read that one and are looking for something similar, with richly crafted characters, suspense, and murder!  This book is for you
