Morgan Mori, a photographer, has come back to her home town of Black Harbor because she didn't have anywhere else to go. She survived a horrific childhood and now her place of business has burned to the ground. All that is left is a skeleton key she has never seen before. A stop at a gas station places her at a murder scene and she is now a witness. This is just the beginning of Morgan's life taking a trajectory she never saw coming. Will she survive it?
Well crafted and carefully plotted, the story moves quickly. There is a real sense of dread on each page as a far more complicated plot than originally presented emerges. Investigator Ryan Hudson's life intersects with Morgan's after the murder and slowly these two flawed characters develop a rather unusual relationship as they both try to find answers to questions that haunt them. Danger mounts as long buried secrets surface.
The author brings to readers a dark and suspenseful tale in THE WIDOWMAKER. Intriguing and engrossing, it is a haunting story.
A wealthy family shrouded in scandal; a detective tasked with solving an impossible cold case; and a woman with a dark past collide in Hannah Morrissey's stunning new Black Harbor mystery, The Widowmaker.
Ever since business mogul Clive Reynolds disappeared twenty years ago, the name "Reynolds" has become synonymous with "murder" and "mystery." And now, lured by a cryptic note, down-on-her-luck photographer Morgan Mori returns home to Black Harbor and into the web of their family secrets and double lives. The same night she photographs the Reynolds holiday get-together, Morgan becomes witness to a homicide of a cop that triggers the discovery of a long-buried clue.
This could finally be the thing to crack open the chilling cold case, and Investigator Ryan Hudson has a chance to prove himself as lead detective. If only he could stop letting his need to solve his partner's recent murder distract him. But as Morgan exposes her own dark demons, could her sordid history be the key to unlocking more than one mystery?
