Description
Gabby McAllister knows what is waiting for her on the other side of that touch. The vision. The fear. The final moments of someone who did not deserve to die. She picks it up anyway. Every single time. Because somebody has to.
In River Bend, that somebody is Gabby.
It was not always that way. When the series begins, most of the town wants nothing to do with her or her gift -- including her own brother Dustin. She is the woman people cross the street to avoid, the one they whisper about, the one nobody quite trusts. But one case at a time, one vision at a time, one murder solved at a time -- Gabby proves herself. To the town. To Dustin. To Detective Lucas, her brother's partner and the man she is absolutely not falling for. By the time you reach Book 8, she is not the town outcast anymore. She is the woman River Bend calls when everything else has failed.
Eight standalone mysteries set in the kind of small town that looks quiet from the outside and never quite is. A corn maze hiding something far darker than a Halloween attraction. A haunted museum with secrets buried deep in its walls. Bones that were never supposed to be found. Each book solves a complete case -- and leaves a single thread at the end that pulls you straight into the next one. You can start anywhere. But you will want to start at the beginning.
Woven through every case, every vision, and every moment of courage is something rarer in crime fiction than a good mystery -- a quiet and unshakeable faith that carries Gabby through the darkest corners of what she sees and reminds her, and the reader, that even in River Bend's shadows there is something worth holding on to.
Fans call it creepy, cozy, and completely addictive. They show up in reviews saying things like crap on a cracker this series is good -- and they mean it. Because Gabby is not just a protagonist. She is the kind of character who feels like a friend by the end of Book 1 and someone you genuinely miss by the end of Book 8.
This is the first 8 books in the Messages of Murder series. Eight murders. Eight visions. One psychic who cannot look away.
Crap on a cracker -- you are going to love this.
