About K*ll to Keep. . .
A female sheriff races against time to solve a M**der at a carnival that puts her whole town at risk. Thrilling, romantic, and full of suspense
Sheriff Bet Rivers' inspection of the carnival grounds should have been routine. M**der is certainly the last thing on anyone's mind. Then comes the sound of a gunshot. And a dead body with no signs of trauma, no witnesses and no obvious motive for the killing.
But solving the unexplained death is only part of the challenge. Bet is still grappling with her on-off relationship with town owner Rob Collier, while dealing with her feelings about her late father, the beloved town sheriff she had to replace.
As Bet launches her homicide investigation, she soon discovers the carnival is a place of whispers, rumours, resentments and lie after lie. And as the stakes build, it quickly becomes clear that protecting a deadly secret is something that someone is willing to K*ll to keep.
Fans of Julia Keller and Sheena Kamal will love this riveting suspense.
