A Stranger's Last Conversation
With beta readersJo Whitfield just wanted a quiet corner to finish a presentation. Instead, she overhears a woman's life falling apart one table over — a breakup gone quietly desperate, the kind of thing you forget by the time you order your next coffee.
Six days later, the woman turns up dead beside a half-loaded moving van, and Jo can't stop thinking about the conversation she wasn't supposed to hear.
With her best friend Bethany egging her on — and a grieving sister who trusts nothing the police tell her — Jo starts pulling at threads that were never meant to unravel: a boyfriend with two mortgages and a new girlfriend already moved in, a company quietly bleeding money from the inside, and a killer who has no idea how much two nosy coworkers with a group chat and too much free time are about to figure out.
A Detective's Last Case
Work in progressMelissa Kane and Detective Doyle are engaged, and wedding planning becomes Jo and Bethany's excuse to stay tangled in Doyle's orbit—right up until a murder lands close enough to home that nobody gets to just be a guest. When the straight-shooting owner of the bar service Melissa nearly hired turns up dead after questioning a rival vendor's suspiciously cheap prices, everything escalates fast. The stakes jump high enough that Doyle knows it has to be his final case. For Jo and Bethany, it stops being a puzzle and turns into a hit-too-close-to-home fight for answers.
