The year is 1971 and Amanda Blackstone is an aspiring investigative reporter stuck with her first job as a society columnist. She's good at a lot of things - but needs a chance to prove it. While reluctantly covering a debutante reception for the daughter of the town's wealthiest man, she overhears him deliver a veiled threat to his company's CFO. Amanda's ambition and instincts kick in, leading her to suspect that corporate embezzlement is behind a suspicious suicide.
She teams up with experienced fellow reporter, Patrick Maguire, who does his best to rein in her impulsive instincts. The two discover evidence of a shady offshore account, blackmail, and a reprehensible family secret from a generation ago that will end in murder. As her feelings for Pat grow, Amanda realizes her rookie mistakes may have put both their lives in danger.
Great for fans who appreciate a fiercely independent sleuth as a main character, Blood Will Tell leads the reader on a harrowing adventure set against the dynamic backdrop of journalism during the turbulent 1970s in coastal North Carolina.
Kirkus Reviews call this novel An entertaining beach read with the potential for a sequel. Publisher's Weekly calls Blood Will Tell A fresh, engaging debut that will please fans of the genre.
