The Stranger in the Attic: A Murder Mystery Kindle Edition

"There's been another murder" yells the newsboy as he agitates a copy of the Daily News above his head.

Henrietta Jones is tired of being afraid. One by one, women with red hair are vanishing in the small town of Ember only to be found dead in an isolated Hunting Lodge at the back of the local park. Then, one cold, snowy night, a stranger appears on Henrietta's doorstep, looking for a room to rent.

Torn between suspicion, fear, and a desperate need for money, Henrietta welcomes the stranger into her home. But as the body count rises, she watches the strange man living upstairs with eagle eyes, worried that there might be a killer among them. Because Henrietta, like all the dead women, has red hair.

As she impatiently waits for the police to carry out their investigations, Henrietta realizes that danger could be closer than she thought. Her husband, her neighbor, and others around her carry long-submerged secrets that could be putting her in danger. Fearing for her life, she takes matters into her own hands, not realizing that by doing so, she has become marked for death.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Where we lived in Lafayette, Louisiana, the top floor of the old house opened to an enormous attic. It was terribly dark in there as it had no windows, and our kids--convinced that there was something unspeakable lurking in the farthest corners--always refused to enter. Sometimes, at night, you could hear what sounded like footsteps. It was hard not to be terrified. Eventually, we found out that the cats had figured out how to get into the attic through the vents, and it was them, coming and going, chasing imaginary mice, jumping from wooden plank to wooden plank, making the noise that we had mistaken for footsteps.

This story is different in that there is an actual stranger living in the attic, and the lady of the house wonders if her new tenant is the serial killer everyone is looking for. But there are also ghosts lurking about, living among them, ghosts of the past, and the fears that keep them up at night. It was the fears I experienced in that old house that I channeled when I wrote The Stranger In The Attic. Hope you enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fiction book
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2021
i got an ARC review from the author and here is my honest review.

I really enjoyed this fiction book because it includes something very thrilling. It doesnt reveal the whole story in the very beginning. You just have to follow through so you can understand the whole story
