Blood on the Boardwalk
(2024)(A book in the Gripping Psychological Crime Thrillers series)
A novel by Sonya Bateman
Old money. Fresh blood. This family's secrets are to die for.
Sunny, beautiful Belinda Island—premiere tourist destination and home to some of the wealthiest people in the country—looks like the perfect place from the outside. But the locals know there's something dark beneath the surface.
People disappear. People die. And no one talks about it for fear they might be next.
After losing her parents as a child, islander Marina Harmon grew up with her best friend as a sister. Years later, when her surrogate mom vanished without a trace, she vowed to go against the island's code of silence to find her.
Now a private investigator, Marina's longest-running case keeps returning to the Mournings, the billionaire family who practically owns the island and everything on it. And her mom isn't the only one.
She's found at least fourteen disappearances and four suspicious deaths with connections to the Mournings so far. The deeper she digs, the more secrets she unearths in a family that's managed to escape scrutiny for decades.
Everything changes the day reclusive patriarch Thomas Mourning asks her to find his missing adult son, Leo—after extracting a promise that she won't tell anyone he hired her.
The next morning, Thomas is found murdered in his mansion.
Now, with Leo still missing, someone is killing everyone named in the billionaire's will. And as the bodies pile up, Marina draws closer to discovering the ties that bind her own family to the Mournings in ways she never imagined.
Ties that someone else is very aware of...someone who's coming for her next.
BLOOD ON THE BOARDWALK is a chilling, twisty crime psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lucinda Berry, and Mary Kubica.
