Book Description by Author:

"A solid mystery/thriller with a smooth pace and compelling characters. A real page turner!" -Timothy J. Cox Actor/Producer/Screenwriter

After hearing that a coworker has committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, a recovering drug addict begins investigating the case on her own and she starts to suspect that her boyfriend might be a murderer.

Michelle Rhodes is taking life one day at a time. She’s a recovering heroin addict that ODed when she was driving with her toddler son in the car. Her now ex-boyfriend, Frank, now has full custody of the child while Michelle went to rehab, started a new job as a fast food manager, found a new boyfriend named Cory, and she got her own apartment. She’s been clean for more than four months now. Her life isn’t great but she’s working on that.

Everything changes for her when her co-worker and friend, Sarah, disappears. Sarah’s car was found abandoned on a bridge and it looks like she jumped but no one can say for sure that’s what happened because her body hasn’t been recovered. If she did then she wouldn't be the first person as dozens of poor souls have jumped off it before over the decades, earning it the nickname of Suicide Bridge. However, in their small town, people are gossiping and the general consensus is that she probably killed herself because it was well known that she and her very wealthy father had a very rocky relationship.

Michelle tries not to have an opinion until all the facts are known. But after she finds a necklace that belonged to Sarah hidden in her boyfriend’s things, she starts to suspect that he might be involved in a possible murder.

Michelle will follow her suspicions about Cory because she desires to help her lost friend. It won’t be easy for her. The lead detective on Sarah’s case is Frank and there are a lot of hard feelings between the former couple. Michelle will do her best to put those aside because she is determined to discover the truth, even if she is just an amateur sleuth. But what she doesn’t realize in this exciting mystery/thriller is that the truth will be far more sinister than she could have ever imagined.

If you enjoyed books that have the psychological twist and turns of 'Gone Girl' along with the action along with the fast pace and action in 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' then this book is for you.

This is a fictional story that adheres to the genre of the mystery suspense thriller. Other similar titles to it 'Before I go to Sleep', 'Fates and Furies', 'The Girl on the Train', 'Big Little Lies', 'The Silent Patient', 'Lullaby', 'Sharp Objects', and 'The Wife Between us'..

About the Author:

I'm a new author and I would really appreciate that, if you read my book, then please leave a review. Good reviews are the best way to get others to take a chance with their time to check out my book.

In the meantime I am working on a follow up novel that I will release later this year.
