In honor of finishing a major revision, I wanted to share a blurb about my current novel and some of the inspiration behind it! This book was the one that landed me with an agent, my first ever novel, and I’m so proud of it.
Pitch
After a case gone wrong, Melinda swore she would never let anyone rely on her again. That is, until the newly-divorced and grieving private investigator receives an anonymous note pleading for her help to find two missing children. Soon everyone is a suspect—the nosy next-door neighbor; the sleazy boss; the mysterious woman following Melinda around town. Melinda must decide who she can trust, knowing that if she chooses wrong, she runs the fatal risk of losing both the children and her chance at redemption.
