From New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart comes a gripping, fast-paced series perfect for fans of J.D. Robb’s Eve Dallas and Kathy Reichs’ Temperance Brennan. Meet J.J. Graves—a sharp, gritty heroine you’ll root for until the very last page.
J.J. Graves knows death better than most. As both the mortician and the county coroner of King George County, Virginia, she’s spent her life surrounded by the dead. But nothing could prepare her for the horrors of a brutal murder that shatters the quiet town of Bloody Mary.
Together with her best friend, Detective Jack Lawson, J.J. finds herself in pursuit of a twisted killer whose methods are more gruesome—and personal—than anything they’ve ever seen.
But death isn’t the only thing stirring up trouble.
When a famous mystery novelist arrives in town, claiming to be researching the legendary Bloody Mary Serial Killer, J.J. suspects he might have his own hidden agenda. As the bodies continue to pile up, each victim is revealed to be hiding dark secrets—and J.J. begins to suspect that these murders are connected to her own past in ways she never imagined.
Caught between uncovering long-buried truths and facing the demons she’s tried to forget, J.J. must stop the killer before she becomes his next target. In Bloody Mary, secrets don’t stay buried—and some are worth killing for.
