Who doesn’t like a good mystery?
As a writer of romantic suspense, I love coming up with ideas for a juicy mystery then planting clues throughout the book for readers
to find. In fact, few things are more rewarding than when I hear someone tell
me they were surprised when they found out who the bad guy in my story was. I
know then I’ve crafted a good story.
But as a reader, I also love trying to solve the
mystery. Finding the clues, piecing the puzzle together and trying to solve the
case before the story’s reveal.
In my soon to be released LIS (6 more days til it releases,
eek!) , COLD CASE COVER-UP, someone (I won’t say who because spoilers!) got
away with murder for thirty years. They lived their lives and even prospered
while others suffered because of their actions. My heroine, investigative
reporter Dana Lang, believes she would have been one of the killer’s victims if
it weren’t for a local sheriff who faked her death and whisked her safely out
of town, leaving her on the doorstep of a church to be found and adopted. Now,
an adult, Dana is back in her town of birth to solve the mystery of her parent’s
murders and finally, after thirty long years, bring a killer to justice.
In reality, we may never see justice in this world,
but in stories—at least in LI and LIS—the hero and heroine always win and the
bad guys always gets what’s coming to them. And that’s how the story should always
end.

She’ll risk
everything to uncover her past
The first thrilling Covert Operatives tale An infant is believed to have been murdered thirty years ago—but investigative journalist Dana Lang is convinced she’s that baby. Now someone’s willing to kill to stop her investigation. And only secretive deputy Quinn Dawson, whose grandfather may have faked Dana’s death to protect her, can keep her safe. But a killer’s dead set on burying the past—and them—for good. |

Virginia, your book sounds exciting! I'm eager to read the story and find out why someone wanted to kill a little one. Great premise!
ReplyDeleteI also loved your blurb. I can relate. I hoard books too! And I never want to part with them so I have bookcases full and piles everywhere of my favorites.
You get me, Debby. Book hoarders, unite!
DeleteCold Case Cover-up sounds like a book I “need” to read! Thanks for introducing it to us and for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks, Sherri. Don’t we all “need” another book! No matter what anyone else says, it’s true.
DeleteOh, this one looks good, Virginia. Thanks for sharing the book with us! Excited for you for the new release.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis looks great! I like the heroine's name (wink). Since I get my LIS through the Reader's Service, I already have my copy. As soon as I meet my current deadline in a week, I have some serious reading to do!
ReplyDeleteHey Dana! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like how awesome your namesake is (wink, wink). :)
DeleteWould love to read this book. Love mysteries.
ReplyDeleteWaving to you, Debi! Thanks for stopping by. I love mysteries too. As a reader, I love figuring out the who-done-it. :)

DeleteWould love to read your book!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteVirginia!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool concept. You can bet I'll love reading along trying to figure out who the villain is before you reveal it.
Thanks for stopping by, Cate! I won't be mad if you figure it out (although I secretly hope you won't!). LOL
DeleteI get so confused by all the similar titles in the LIS line. I can't remember which books I've read. I realize you are talking about your new book, but I've read a number of your previous books and can't remember the titles since I gave them away. I hate to buy books I've already read.
ReplyDeleteLIS puts out a lot of books so I understand. I think it depends on where you get your books. This book does not release officially until Aug so if you've bought it from say Walmart or the like, it would have been very recently. They only stay on the shelves for about a month. If you purchased it from Amazon or the like, you can probably look at your purchase history to see if you've bought it before. Hope that helps!
