Mystery Suspense

Dead Air: A Waco Mystery
Jeff was no longer the dependable man Kit Squires had married, but was he capable of murder?
A year after losing his job as a radio host, Jeff refuses all other job offers, stubbornly clinging to the hope of being rehired. But Kit’s physical therapy earnings alone can’t support the family, and their bank account is streaking toward the danger zone—much like their marriage. While Jeff begs for a little more time, Kit issues a desperate ultimatum—get a job or move out.
Then gunshots blast across the airwaves of Jeff’s former show. And in the dead air that follows, Kit recognizes Jeff’s voice as he utters some troubling last words. Why was he at the station? Is this why he’d asked for “just a little more time?”
Torn between believing the evidence against Jeff or trusting the integrity of the man she thought she knew, Kit’s choice puts her at odds with their son, Bryce. One of them has to be wrong and that could have fatal consequences.
Soft suspense: You won’t lock your doors but you will keep turning pages
Taken from Today’s Headlines
Sometimes a news story grabs me and won’t let go. That’s what happened when a man opened fire on a crowd of Las Vegas concert-goers years ago. We grieved with the victims and their families at the senseless tragedy. But I kept thinking of the family and friends of the shooter who were just as shocked as the rest of us. Did they wonder if they’d missed some signs that might have prevented this horror? Did they struggle with guilt? Did public reaction force them to move?
How would I react if someone I knew committed such a heinous act? Could a person with a stellar reputation commit murder? If so, why? These are the questions I chewed on while writing Dead Air. I hope you enjoy Kit and her family.
