Better Left Unsaid

Revenge—best served with a twist! From the author of Raveled and Circled comes an exciting addition to the Crime After Time Collection... Ex-con Jeff Dagen, an Instagram-famous counselor, mumbles the name of a murder victim in his sleep. Pressed by his fiancée, he claims ignorance, but when reporter Jenna Naismith hears about it, she suspects him of lying and vows to find out why. Aided by her posse—a gambling realtor, a mysterious fitness instructor, and the skeptical fiancée—Jenna engages the spirited detective who worked the homicide years ago. As startling links between Dagen and the victim come to light, new questions arise about a matchless diamond that went missing the night of the murder. As Dagen's life spirals downward, Jenna immerses herself in a world of money laundering, police corruption, and double identities. Meanwhile, hidden forces play games of manipulation behind the scenes, upending Jenna's life even more than the answers to the original mystery. In this uniquely presented page-turner—written as a true-crime manuscript with revealing edits by the author's friend—readers will find themselves racing toward the staggering, twist-filled conclusion!
