Excerpt:
The first thing Marie noticed when she walked into the house was the smell, the second thing she noticed was the water. It smelled like the lake, and there were puddles of murky water all over the house. She followed a trail down the foyer and was blocked from going any further by the many men and women going in and out of the bedroom at the end of the hall.

“You didn’t find his body here, did you?”

“I’m not at liberty to discuss that with you.”

She walked back down the hall and into the living room, everything was exactly where it had been left after he had gone to bed. She looked around, then started toward the sliding glass door. She looked down at the floor and realized she had just stepped off the plastic, and onto the rug. There, on the dirty beige carpet was the outline of a foot. She could clearly see each and every indentation of the toes. Toes that clearly belonged to a woman. She could even see the shape of a ring on the second toe. She stared at the footprint for a long moment before his voice penetrated her thoughts.

“That’s as far as you go. Okay, I let you come in here and look around. Now it’s time to tell me what you know.”

She turned and walked out of the house, down the pavement, then ducked under the tape and stood by her car, shaking.

Daniel Morris followed her, then put a hand on her shoulder, “You said you had information for me.”

Her tear-stained face looked up, “He killed my daughter. If he didn’t, he helped.”

He ran his hand through his hair, “You told me you knew who killed him.”

“My daughter did, of course.” She turned and got into her car, then drove away without another word.

About Mary:


Mary Cook is a retired police detective that lives in a small town right outside a ring of fire, just on the other side of…no wait, that’s a different character.

Actually retired, with hours and hours to write the next great novel, oh wait…nope that’s me. Yes, totally retired. Worlds come alive in my head, characters stand over my shoulder, and sometimes they wake me up at night. All of them want to come alive, to have their stories written. No matter how I think the story should go, it goes according to how the character decides it should. An evil character finds redemption. A beloved character is massacred for no good reason. They all write their own stories.

The ideas come to me, the character develops a personality, and the result is a book. I sincerely hope that everyone will love my books, but what I write isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. (Is it Mary? You sure you don’t want me to take care of it?) (Get back in the book, Ann!) I love to write stories that make you think, maybe make you a little uncomfortable. I am actually a pretty boring person. Retired, live in a dungeon (my office), two birds and a dog. Every now and then my husband expects me to come out and interact with the world, and I do (begrudgingly). Writing is my hobby, I used to do other things with my hands, crochet, knit…but then I got old(er), and they just don’t work as good as they used to.

On a more personal note, I do have children. I have three grown children, and lots and lots of grandchildren, with a few great-grandchildren. It’s like they’re in a competition on who can produce the most. If any of you read the back of the book, you’ll know that there’s more. But, outside of that, nothing. Boring. So, I bring life and color into the world through the pages of my books. Every time someone buys a book, or gives a review, I’m delightfully surprised. My eternal gratitude to all of you, for reading what I have written, and allowing me to become a small part of your life.

1 winner will receive a $10 Amazon GC, International.

Ends May 26, 2020. Midnight EST.
