No Body, No Crime

Description

Murder either bonds you or breaks you. Rural PI Mel Tillman knows this well. She”s seen her fair share of bloody cases and botched cover-ups. But killing with someone? That is a different kind of mess all together, and Mel”s got real experience with it. No one”s heard from Toby Dunne since Chloe Harper”s sweet sixteen party – because the birthday girl and sixteen-year-old Mel buried him so deep in the backwoods, no one”s ever finding him. Mel loses little sleep over it – Toby had been terrorizing them. What she does lose sleep over is Chloe, the girl with whom she survived that horrible night in the woods. Chloe, the girl she fell in love with. Chloe, the girl who disappeared and hasn”t been seen in more than six years. Tasked with locating Chloe by her family, Mel can”t resist the call of a good chase, or finding the one who got away with her heart (and with murder). When Mel finds an armed and vigilant Chloe living off-grid in a highly booby-trapped patch of Canadian wilderness, she realizes that Chloe had been expecting someone other than her ex to come looking for her. The thing that”s kept Chloe going for years is that she”s kept Mel safe by running. Now, the truth must come out as they run for their lives once again. Because when they buried Toby Dunne in the backwoods, they buried something else, too. Something Toby took. And the powerful family he stole it from? They”ll do anything to get it back. Twisty and razor-sharp, Tess Sharpe”s No Body No Crime is a heart-pounding thriller teeming with secrets, betrayals, and a star-crossed romance for the ages.
