About this ebook

"Pull up your legwarmers, tease your hair high, and press play to your Michael Jackson Thriller cassette, because you're in for an unforgettable murderous treat!" (Literary Lover Reviews) A witty page-turning 1980s throwback thriller readers are raving about!

Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to “Material Girl”...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That’s the moment girls don’t want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers.

Now Ginger’s hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn’t found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she’s only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared.

But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara’s husband is nowhere to be found.

As the investigation shakes their small town of Bloodson Bay to its core, and Tara’s husband is arrested for the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband’s innocence or protecting Ginger’s past.

Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all.

A snappily-paced thriller packed with humor, a chilling murder mystery, a dollop of family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship.

Ratings and reviews

A GREAT BOOK. Pamela Crane grabs you from the first page! EVERY character becomes someone you KNOW and UNDERSTAND! I read this touching book in one sitting. I laughed and I cried, and I couldn't put this book down. GREAT WRITING ♡ Tami

I'm a proud child of the 1980s. Give me all the leg warmers and Jane Fonda aerobics and Material Girl! In honor of the best decade with the catchiest music and the flashiest fashion, I've been dying to write an eighties throwback thriller that alternates between a missing child in 1986, and a modern-day murder. Press play for your favorite Michael Jackson cassette tape (I'd recommend "Bad" or "Thriller" if we're going to stay in theme here) and join me in 1986, readers!

I was shocked at the end! But Ginger was the "dullest knife" in the drawer! She had real problems! But I was happy with the ending. I like Pamela Crane's way of putting things. She's great!
