The Ashes of Murderous Lies

About the Book

Firefighter and businessman Chase Bennett could never have predicted the entangled secrets and intricate lies cutting down a few evergreen trees would unearth, but once the first decayed skeleton was found in Victor Falls, Washington the town’s residents frantically rush to bury their own dirty secrets faster than the truth can be exposed. Five years have passed since three women, Maggie, Paige and Iris Anne collectively conspired to bury a scoundrel of a man, Jack Russell, but even as they worked together to bury him, individually each of the women believed they were solely responsible for his murder.
