About this ebook

A musical career in the making. A murdered childhood friend. One chance to catch the killer.

Ava dreams of building a better life for her daughter through her island pop songs. Her new temp job leads to a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a record deal, but before she can pack her bags for New York, she discovers a dead body outside her office building. Horrified, Ava recognizes the murdered sex worker as her childhood friend.

The single mother finds herself torn between pursuing her life’s passion or justice for her murdered friend. When another friend is killed, she worries the deaths are connected to a shared trauma that she’s been running from her whole life. After dumping her cop boyfriend, she realizes the pain she keeps locked inside could be sabotaging her shot at lasting love.

Before Ava can move on to a bright future in music, she must confront the truth behind her dark past to catch the murderer or she'll be next on his kill list.

"Just when I think I couldn't love another Pamela Fagan Hutchins novel more, along comes Ava. She's smart and sassy, with a story full of juicy plot twists. I enjoyed Bombshell from cover to cover!" — Marcy McKay, author of Pennies from Burger Heaven

"To finally get a whole book of Ava's beautiful voice and attitude was so much fun. And then to see that her outer armor was mixed with the very real insecurities and struggles that we can all relate to was magical. She personifies bombshell in every sense of word and I can't wait to have her voice in my head again in Stunner." — Tara Scheyer, Grammy-nominated musician, Long-Distance Sisters Book Club

"Entertaining, complex, and thought-provoking. Each book gets better and better and better...It was so hard to put this book down once I started reading." — Ginger Copeland, power reader

Ratings and reviews

I like other books in the series but I don't really like Ava. She has so much background and medical stuff cluttering the plot. The goal was a full character but for me the threads just didn't come into one character.

LOVED Bombshell. I'd always been intrigued by Ava from Pamela Fagan Hutchins' other novels, and enjoyed Ava's mystery. This book was full of surprises, and I plowed through the story because it was sooooo good. Can't wait for the sequel!

A good 'on the beach' book! Enjoyable, with a few twists.
