It is finally release day for False Pretense by Heather Day Gilbert! Double woohoo!! I have been impatiently waiting for the final book in Heather’s Murder in The Mountains mystery series. Tess Spencer is one of my all time favorite amateur sleuths and I really, really need to find out Axel’s secrets. If you are as big a fan as I am, order now. If you haven’t read this series yet, there’s wonderful book bingeing ahead for you.
Tess has her work cut out for her—from her day job at the police station to her nights on the campaign trail with her husband, she’s stretched thin. Her two young children also keep her busy, but thankfully she has a supportive mother-in-law who lives just next door.
When the legendary Mothman makes a terrifying appearance and a local librarian goes missing, Tess feels compelled to get involved, convinced something evil has been unleashed on her little town. Then another woman disappears—this one bearing an eerie resemblance to Tess—and the police receive a cryptic message hinting that a serial killer is on the prowl.
After a nightmarish turn of events completely upends the Spencer family, Tess musters her courage to hunt for the monstrous murderer in the woods…even if she has to walk straight into the Mothman’s lair to do it.
False Pretense brings a stunning and memorable conclusion to the award-winning Murder in the Mountains series.
Award-winning novelist Heather Day Gilbert enjoys writing mysteries and Viking historicals. She brings authentic family relationships to the page, and she particularly delights in heroines who take a stand to protect those they love. Avid readers say Heather’s realistic characters–no matter what century–feel like best friends. When she’s not plotting stories, this native West Virginian can often be found hanging out with her husband and four children, playing video games, or reading Agatha Christie novels.
