Announcing She Ruined Our Lives!

Announcing She Ruined Our Lives!

 

The second book in the Funderburke and Kaiming series, She Ruined Our Lives, is scheduled to come out in February!  Here’s a description of the book: 

 

Layla Dolak blamed her sister Erika for destroying all of her hopes and dreams.  Over the past several years, Layla was kicked out of college, had most of her possessions and all of her hair stolen from her, and was about to lose custody of her daughter.  And Erika, in Layla’s mind, was responsible for all of that.  So when Erika died suddenly, Layla thought she might have a chance at the life she wanted again.  That changed when Layla’s young daughter, Juniper, accused her mother of murder.

 

Juniper asked Nerissa Kaiming and Isaiah Funderburke, who provide support for children in crisis, for help, and the sleuthing duo started looking to see if there was any truth to the allegations.  Nerissa and Funderburke usually work as a team, but this case sees them following different investigative pathways as they unearth long-buried family secrets that could potentially obliterate the remains of an already fractured family.

 

And here’s the cover art!
