Nate, who would normally have disappeared into his office, since the dining room was so slow, instead cleaned the already clean kitchen. Kylie knew he purposely stayed close. From where Kylie sat, she could hear the two men outside chatting, though she couldn’t make out their words. If Larry foun...
I considered Garrett as the killer, along with what his motives, opportunity, and means might be. Usually one of the first suspects was a family member. Check. Garrett was in town—possibly—on the night his family died. Check. ...
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to hear about her Hollywood career, the famous people she’d eaten with, and the gigs she’d almost-but-not-quite gotten, etc. But I had other things to think about. Like would the killer come back and finish us off, too? ...
A magnetic force seemed to draw me back to the house. But Mildred insisted I should go, and I knew I could do nothing more. Her sister had driven up from North Carolina to help out, so she was in capable hands. Riley escorted me to his car. Around us, crickets sang with abandon and the full moon ...
The photos jutted out from a file folder, and she was pretty sure she wasn’t supposed to see them since she wasn’t a part of the investigation. The edges of the pictures teased her, though. She knew exactly what they were—crime-scene photos. Her gaze fixated on them. A knot formed in her gut as t...
Riley asked once we were safely in his car the next morning. “There’s one thing I know for sure after this session.” I watched Leroy glide away in the pontoon boat. A surprising sense of relief filled me at the thought of getting away from that retreat center. ...
Jamie asked as we drove back down the road to my house. I shrugged, just happy to be on a different subject. “That’s what it sounds like. I mean, who knows? It could be a twisted killer doing what he thinks is best for the city. It could be someone with a vendetta toward d...
Julianne insisted that he go and not worry about her. She promised to stay put at the Eyes headquarters, and Bradley assigned a guard to be with her, just in case. She stayed in her room, on the couch, enjoying some quiet time of reflection. Maybe enjoying wasn’t the right...
He’d tossed and turned most of the night. Though he knew Luke and Denton were keeping their eyes on the place, there was something unsettling about being here. Maybe it was simply his close proximity to Rachel? He’d wanted to go after her last night when she’d fled from the balcony. He’d wanted t...
It was a Chad move I'd copied. It looked so lighthearted when he did it that I couldn't resist trying it myself. "Great.""Great?""Yeah. We broke up" I smiled at the stars shining on us outside. Granted, there were only a few stars. The rest were blocked because of smog and city lights. But the fe...
I’d been surprised at his lack of questioning to what I’d been up to, but maybe that just went to show how much he trusted me now. Our relationship had come a long way.Riley had told me on the way here that I should go down to the spa and utilize some of the services there. Or maybe get some sun ...
So much for getting clues there. But where did that leave them? She sat on the floor, leaning against the wall of Christopher’s office. Her head felt like it weighed a hundred pounds—a hundred throbbing pounds. When would the...
Elle jumped from her seat and darted to the table where a cluster of federal agents had gathered. “Where? Can you get your guys out there?” “Brianna’s cell phone just came on out of the blue,” Agent Duffield said. “It remained on for just long enough for us to get a locati...
