He has murdered his first two - raising little suspicion - and is planning the death of the third. Given his stature in the community and brutal control over his current wife, there is little to stop him from achieving that goal.
A recent widower, Rob McGlynn, is escaping to the island to grieve his loss and pursue his dream of writing a novel - a promise he made to his late wife. Arriving in the off-season, he settles into the small village of Siasconset, hoping for the peace he needs to grieve and write.
After befriending a neighbor, she reveals a secret that turns his world on its head. She is the spirit of Reiner's second wife and needs Rob's help to bring him to justice. His challenge; convince local law enforcement to take action against a prominent citizen when the only evidence of a crime comes from the word of a ghost that he alone can see.
Rob’s quiet retreat turns into a locked battle with a wealthy and respected member of Nantucket society. Unknown to locals, Rob’s efforts only manage to raise suspicions about his intentions, and whether or not he’s truly a newcomer to the island.
Combining the atmosphere of Elin Hildebrand, the story-telling charm of Shelby Van Pelt, and the supernatural undercurrents of Riley Sager, NOT ALL BODIES STAY BURIED is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way to the stunning last-page twist.
Garth Jeffries has had a passion for creative writing for as long as he can remember. His first short story, at the age of nine, got a five-star review from his mother! But a career in writing was not initially in the cards for Garth, and he pursued a career in marketing to not only pay the bills but provide an outlet for his creative writing ambitions.
During his thirty-plus year career, he made multiple attempts to kickstart his novel, and despite exploring numerous storylines, life and career were always there to get in the way of its successful completion. But a few years ago Garth found himself “retired” and rather than looking for a new job decided instead to focus on that life-long dream. The result was Garth's first book, STARBUCK, NANTUCKET REDEMPTION, which ultimately became a category bestseller.
That success encouraged Garth to pursue NOT ALL BODIES STAY BURIED, a supernatural thriller that looks at a different, darker side of Nantucket.
Raised on the East Coast, he now lives in the Kansas City metropolitan area with his wife of 36 years.
