I staggered back to Jay. My face felt
strange, my lips pulled back in a weird grimace. “We have to call someone.
Nine-one-one. The police.” I fumbled in my pocket for my phone.
My hand trembled as I lifted the phone
toward my ear. Jay grabbed my wrist. “No.”
“What do you mean? We just found a body! We
have to report it!”
He plucked the phone out of my hand. “We’re
not telling anyone. We were never here.”
My hands dropped to my sides. “But – but –
we can’t just – we have to – Jay, this is serious!”
“Exactly.” He pushed me toward the main
path. “This is serious and we don’t want to be involved in it. Let somebody
else find it.”
What We Found
Finding a dead body
changes a person.
22-year-old Audra
Needham is back in her small New Mexico hometown, ready to work hard, fit in, and
help her younger brother. Going for a walk in the woods with her former crush,
Jay, seems like a harmless distraction … until they stumble on a body.
Jay, who has
secrets of his own to protect, insists they walk away and keep quiet. But Audra
can't simply forget what she's seen. The woman needs to be found, and her story
deserves to be told.
More than one
person isn't happy about Audra bringing a crime to life. The dead woman was
murdered, and Audra could be next on the vengeful killer's list. She’ll have to
stand up for herself in order to stand up for the murder victim. It’s a risk,
and so is reaching out to the mysterious young man who works with deadly birds
of prey. With her 12-year-old brother determined to play detective, and romance
budding in the last place she expected, Audra learns that some risks are worth
taking – no matter the danger, to her body or her heart.
“Another
action-packed suspense novel by Kris Bock, perhaps her best to-date. The author
weaves an intriguing tale with appealing characters. Watching Audra, the main
character, evolve into an emotionally-mature and independent young woman is
gratifying.” Reader Ellen R.

Finding a body is definitely a draw,
ReplyDeleteInteresting - why does he want someone else to find it?? Raises some questions. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteI read both your snippet and the true life incident -- very interesting! I'm reminded of the time my wife and oldest son discovered a murder victim in Tucson, lying in an empty lot. Nasty stuff.
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it, finding murder victims must happen, but it's not something you expect to happen to you. I hope your wife and son didn't suffer any long-lasting negative effects.
