"action packed romantic suspense"
In Pointe Judah, Louisiana, Emma Lachance is unhappy with
her marriage to the town mayor as Orville is a womanizing
cheat who verbally abuses her in private while adoring her
in public; she knows his rages having witnessed dishes and
TVs smashed. She considers a divorce, but has feared to
do so until she found an encouraging support group.
Meanwhile she receives a pleasant surprise when she runs
into Finn Duhon, who once had a crush on her. However, as Emma and Finn talk and walk, they are stunned
when they find the corpse of local reporter Denise Steen,
who has ripped into the corrupt mayor and town council.
Not long afterward other corpses of influential females
follow. Emma ponders whether the link is Secrets, a
support group for women as each of the dead persons
belonged to the organization. She also wonders if she, as
a member, could be next and whether her spouse is behind
the homicide growth industry. Emma turns to Finn, a
former special ops soldier, to help her investigate what
is happening to her town. BODY OF EVIDENCE is an action packed romantic suspense
thriller that grips the audience the moment the lead
couple discover the first corpse and never slows down
until the final confrontation. Emma is a courageous
individual who because she is smart and brave will keep
the audience wondering why she stayed so long with odious
abusive Orville. Finn is a classic type hero coming to
the aid of the woman he loves (though it is convenient
that his former occupation is special ops and his timing
in terms of coming home impeccable). Still this is an
exhilarating thriller that has several Stella twists to
keep readers wanting to know what next. Harriet Klausner

SummaryEmma Lachance is taken by surprise when she runs into her
friend and high-school crush, Finn Duhon, on a
construction site in Pointe Judah, Louisiana. But the last
thing she expects to find is the corpse of her friend, a
local journalist whose relentlessly scathing articles have
enraged every lawmaker and opportunist in town, including
the mayor—Emma's husband.
When more bodies are found, Emma and Finn wonder if the
link is Secrets, an eclectic support group for women in
which all the murder victims were members. A group that
has helped Emma find the strength to divorce her abusive,
unfaithful husband.
Could an innocent women's club drive a furious husband or
boyfriend to murder, or are the killings only made to look
as if that's the connection? Emma and Finn intend to find
out—before Emma becomes the next body of evidence....
