Puzzle Me Dead

The count down has begun! On her nineteenth birthday Careen survived a terrifying assault at the hands of the Clown Killer. She was lucky; she escaped - the next eleven girls did not. On each dead body the killer left a card numbered two to twelve. Careen has tried to move on, to forget, but it appears someone has decided to revisit her past. She starts to receive pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that make up the face of a clown, each numbered and counting down from twelve. The message is clear - this time his number one will not get away. Is the Clown Killer back to finish what he started or is someone else playing a deadly game? And if so, why? Puzzle Me Dead is a compelling tale of family, friendship, betrayal and revenge that leaves you wondering just who you can trust. Praise for Puzzle Me Dead "Captivating. Fast paced.

Maria Coleman "Move over Lee Child, Kathy is here now. A new force in crackingly-paced reads has arrived." Rose Ruban "Follow Careen Tamley at your own risk. On the outside she has it all together but her struggle with a murky past takes her on a journey that will twist and turn as the reader watches on; hoping, praying." Shaun Huntington "Intense, unsparing but never less than real. This novel is not one to read alone after dark."

Add this to your must-read list and immerse yourself in a world that remains with you well after you've stopped reading." Tania Cossich
