Small town mystery readers, like you, say, “Gabby is back to getting into trouble in this fun and action-packed story. I read it in one day.”
Enjoy this excerpt:
Followed on the heels of Chief Simmons's unpleased welcome another familiar voice pipes in.
“Oh, heck no, you can't be in here,” Coroner Gomez exclaims. “The press and the psychic? Simmons, what is wrong with your department?”
Lacey and I stand side by side. Aubry's blood stains the tip of my finger. I slide my gloves back on as quickly as possible. Gomez still sees the blood.
“You touched the blood?” Her voice drips with disgust.
Anything I can say will not fully explain what we were doing, at least not to these two.
“Sorry,” I say lamely.
“Gabby, just get out.” Simmons rubs his face in exasperation. “You, too, Lacey. And don't even think about reporting on what you've seen here.”
Lacey straightens her back. “I'm not leaving. This is my sister's blood. She's in trouble and you need to find her.”
Chief Simmons seems surprised by this information. “Aubry is missing? This is her place?”
Lacey nods sadly. “And that's her boyfriend over there. I found him when I came to check on Aubry. She didn't show up for Sunday night pizza.”
Gomez is already kneeling near Brent's body. “You didn't touch anything in here, did you? Didn't try any of your hocus pocus stuff?”
I swallow hard. I have to tell the truth or compromise the scene and the case even further.
“I touched the bat, and Aubry's phone, and the door handle. That's it. We really were trying to be careful and respectful.”
“That blood on your finger is careful and respectful?” she retorts, tossing her long french braid over her shoulder in agitation. Normally, Gomez bothers me. Tonight, I'm bothered by how correct she is. I really screwed this up.
“Just take my prints and my DNA and you can rule me out of anything.”

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
I am not a freak, although many people call me that. The night my father was murdered and I was left for dead, I awoke with the ability to "sense" things. Touching things can give me visions, sometimes horrifying, murderous ones. The bones of a murdered woman are unearthed and our safe small town is shaken to its core. Her killer was good at hiding the truth and after decades in the ground, any clues are gone—her murder a complete mystery. The only clues are the ones I can see.
