Tears on Her Grave

By D.K. Hood
Tears on Her Grave by D.K. Hood digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Stepping into the dark cave just a short distance from the safety of her college friends, the blonde-haired girl immediately senses danger. A tall figure steps out of the shadows, and she knows there’s no time to run…

 

When a heavy storm hits Black Rock Falls, it brings a trail of destruction. Sheriff Jenna Alton is more than prepared, but she never expects to find college sweethearts Abby Jaye and Cole Peters floating among the wreckage in the river. Missing for twelve years following an end-of-school party, no clues were ever found and the couple’s devastated parents gave up hope that their beloved children would ever come home. Could the fraternity pin clutched tightly in Abby’s hand be the key to finding out what really happened that night?

 

As Jenna and her deputy David Kane speak to the pair’s classmates, they’re struck by how startlingly similar their stories are. They all say that nothing suspicious happened that night—they describe the open fire, the cans of cheap beer and the way Abby and Cole seemed totally in love before they disappeared. Their accounts are word-for-word identical, Jenna suspects the friends are keeping a deadly secret, and she’s determined to find out what it is.

 

Days later, Marissa, who still lives in town with her husband and young children, is found dead at a remote farm miles from her cozy family home just hours after answering Jenna’s questions. Jenna’s pulse races as she realizes the killer could be one of the group, and so could their next victim…

 

As Jenna inspects the isolated barn, gun shots ring out nearby. Heart pounding, she receives a panicked phone call from the youngest member of her team. She races to the forest, praying that her friend is still alive. But with a deadly storm brewing overhead, and a twisted killer on the loose, will she make it in time to save another life from being taken?

 

If you love reading Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, you will be hooked by this absolutely gripping crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.

 

**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

Thinking Face“After 23 previous installments, I feel like a crime-solving pro when it comes to the murders of Black Rock Falls. I've gotten to know the characters so well by now. Even when the mysteries can be a bit formulaic, I still manage to feel so connected to the story. The experience of a cold case was a bit of a nice change for this one, and as always, I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment.”
“Tears on Her Grave by DK Hood. Detectives Kane and Alton book 24. I really did enjoy this book. I love this series. I do like kane, Alton, Rowley and Rio. I liked wolfe and Emily his daughter. I love how the characters come alive in my head. I'm looking forward to the next book. I would definitely recommend this book. Blurb.

“Returning to the middle of nowhere Montana with Kane and Jenna brings us a cold case. I love all the connections Kane and Jenna have and how many great resources they have to solve cases. I love the dynamic between them and their staff. Even though they have been forced to completely reinvent their lives from what they were with then worked for the FBI and Secret Service, they have been able to build new lives and new relationships. They have very little help from those connected to Abby and Cole all those years ago, but that doesn’t stop them. They are determined to get to the bottom of their murders and then the disappearance of another of their classmates. I get so easily sucked into these books. I can’t get enough of them. I am dying to find time to get back to the many others in the series. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC of this book.”
