A small-town psychological crime thriller in which the death of a star athlete cracks open the private lives of a high school and everyone orbiting it. Teen-secrets procedural suspense beneath Sweet Home's quiet surface.
A Golden Boy Is Dead. Nobody's Story Adds Up.
Tragedy strikes the quiet town of Sweet Home, Oregon when star high school athlete Braden Haines is discovered dead.
As the community reels, Officer Lacey James is thrust into the harrowing investigation. Coming close on the heels of a fatal car accident involving another popular student, the case sends tensions soaring while Lacey works through the tangle of half-truths surrounding Braden's death.
As she peels back the layers of deception, disturbing clues surface. Blocked messages, troubled relationships, and hidden desires all point to one reality nobody in Sweet Home wants to face: a bombshell accusation involving another missing teen.
Kill Her is the fifth installment in the award-winning Lacey James series, for readers who love small-town secrets, teen-centered mysteries and detectives who won't let go. Perfect for fans of Kendra Elliot, Lisa Regan and Mary Burton.
