If you’re like me, you love a good murder-mystery, the suspense, the drama and of course that twist at the end, we never saw coming.  Jean Marie Stanberry, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors has just submitted her latest work to our editors at Kingsmuir Press and I am certain our readers are going to love it.  This book is full of intrigue and quirky characters and I literally couldn’t put it down till the end.  Jean’s new book is definitely everything I look for in a good murder-mystery.  Here is a short synopsis of the book you absolutely must read, coming on February 14, 2015.

When aging movie star Sabine Rousseau is found murdered in her own home, it’s a very disturbing scene.  The crime itself is not only horrendous, but obviously deeply personal for the person who’s taken Sabine’s life.  Doug Bellamy and his partner Chris Salazar are anxious to solve this heinous crime before the grisly details of Sabine’s murder leak out to the public.  Unfortunately Sabine’s family is not helpful at all and they have found very little physical evidence.  Their frustrations peak when they realize that the crime scene has been tampered with.

As Bellamy’s investigation delves into Sabine’s dysfunctional family and sordid past, it is becoming quite evident that Sabine Rousseau was not the elegant lady she had portrayed to her fans for so many years.  Has Sabine’s hidden past finally come back to haunt her?

Shortly after their investigation begins, Bellamy becomes frustrated.  Not only is their case hitting one roadblock after another, but his marriage seems to be disintegrating as well.  Finally, a break in the case brings new hope, but also a renewed fear that the suspect hasn’t finished their bloody rampage yet.  Soon Bellamy finds himself on a race across the country to apprehend this suspect before another victim can be claimed.
