Whispered Eulogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781918096125)

Set in 1996, Whispered Eulogy follows two detectives with clashing moral codes-Aaron Grayson, a socially rigid, logic-driven investigator, and Elijah Riley, a younger, psychologically intuitive officer-as they attempt to solve the ritualistic murder of a mayor's ex-wife in the isolated mountain town of Mount Hugh. The case spirals into chaos when locals claim the culprit is a folkloric creature named Hugh Slaughter. As hysteria builds, Dahlia Crane, a bold PhD folklore researcher turned reporter, arrives with a theory that sends shockwaves through the town: the key to catching the killer lies not in physical evidence, but in deciphering the legend itself.

Told through alternating POVs-Aaron's classic whodunit tone, Elijah's psychological depth, and Dahlia's podcast-style narration-Whispered Eulogy is a crime thriller that appeals to fans of Tana French, Simone St. James, and readers of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It's a dark, immersive mystery about belief systems, media influence, and the dangerous power of myth.
