The Murdering Kind
When 21-year-old Blair Taylor turns up dead in the neighborhood pool, a quiet gated community becomes a house of whispered accusations. Detective Sadie Lawson and her partner Rhett Callahan uncover motive after motive-everyone seems to be hiding something. As lies, betrayals, and dangerous secrets bubble to the surface, the truth lurks closer than anyone realizes. Expect deception, suspense, and a shocking ending you genuinely won't see coming.
