Secretly you live for my epiphanies as to the killer as I'm halfway through a mystery. Well, by page 106, I knew that the killer was the dead mother!!!!
Incorrect, of course. I could see it all, though.
Shea Collins has a blog called The Book of Cold Cases. On it, she discusses cases famous and not so famous, really digging into known facts and speculations. Her blog includes a forum where cases are widely discussed.
In her day job, she's a receptionist in a medical clinic. One day, she recognizes a local crime celebrity (a celebrity to her true crime loving self).
This woman, Beth Greer, was accused of killing two men in cold blood. The killings were completely random. There were no connections of any kind between Beth and the victims. There was a witness who saw her driving away from the second killing. No physical evidence.
State and local police did everything they could to try to win the case that Beth was that unusual thing in the 1970s, a female serial killer.
She was acquitted, and remained defiant, and thus guilty in many eyes.
Shea boldly takes a break after Beth's appointment and follows her and asks for an interview. She's granted the interview, then gets access to some of those involved in the case.
As happens, digging into this old mystery changes Shea's life, and puts her in danger she couldn't have imagined when she asked for that first interview.
Another thrilling mystery from Simone St. James
