A small-town psychological thriller set in Sweet Home, Oregon, where a murder investigation runs headlong into a close-knit community's lies. Female-detective police procedural with salacious gossip, unreliable witnesses and twists built on small-town loyalty gone sour.
When Officer Lacey James is called to the scene of a murder, she doesn't recognize the victim. Jonathan Jones, JJ to everyone in town, is new to Sweet Home. Someone wanted JJ dead. And someone else knows why.
On the hunt for the murderer, Lacey reconstructs the victim's trail: a bar fight, a bloody footprint, a timeline that doesn't add up. Together with her partner, Eli Davidson, she pieces together the clues while keeping track of the witnesses' lies. Each twist in the case raises new questions about the victim and the motive behind the crime. Then a piece of salacious gossip sends the investigation reeling down a path that puts Lacey herself in a killer's sights.
Tell Her is the third book in the Lacey James Mystery series, a small-town psychological crime thriller, for readers who love strong female detectives, close-knit communities with something to hide and twists that land without warning. Perfect for fans of Tana French, L.J. Ross and Elly Griffiths.
