Who killed Jack Sullivan?
Welcome to Hamlet. Population: 192.
Nowhere to be found on any map, GPS, or navigation app, Hamlet is an isolated village nestled between a mountain and a valley. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else—and their secrets. No internet. No phones. No TV. Just one road in, and for most of the locals, barely any way out. The sheriff holds all the power, the town’s only doctor doubles as the coroner, and outsiders rarely visit.
Murders? Practically unheard of.
A fierce storm, a blown tire, and a twist of fate lead Tessa Sullivan and her husband Jack to the narrow, rain-slicked path that brings them to Hamlet. What was meant to be a brief stop while Jack fixed the tire turns into a nightmare when Tess ends up locked in the local jail overnight… and Jack is found dead in their hotel room the next morning.
It’s clearly murder. But with Tess holding an airtight alibi, the sheriff is stumped: who in this close-knit town had motive to kill an outsider? And was Jack really the only victim?
Dr. De Angelis doesn’t think so. Neither does Deputy Walsh. As tensions rise and Tess becomes the killer’s next likely target, both men offer her comfort and protection. But only one is truly trustworthy. The other has far more sinister intentions now that Jack is out of the picture.
Alone, frightened, and desperate, who can she turn to?
Don’t Trust Me is a gripping full-length murder mystery and domestic thriller (85,000+ words) set in the eerie, small-town isolation of Hamlet—where everyone knows your name, but no one is safe.
