Worst Fear
by Matt Hilton

Private investigator Tess Grey discovers that someone from her past is pursuing a deadly vendetta – and she could be the next to die.

When the body of a young woman is found on a rocky Maine beach, having fallen from the cliffs above, the initial verdict is suicide. But hidden on the dead woman’s social network page is a post requesting that Tess Grey be informed in the event of her death. And why would Chelsea Grace, who was terrified of heights, have chosen to end her life in a way that invoked her very worst fear?

Having not seen Chelsea for years, Tess has no idea why her old university roommate would leave such a message. But, determined to find out what really happened to her, Tess and her partner Po discover that Chelsea isn’t the first of her old university friends to suffer – and she won’t be the last. It would appear that someone is holding a deadly grudge: could Tess herself be a target?

Genre: amateur detectives, Private Investigators

Reviews

“This is a beautifully constructed and written suspenser, but not, as they say, for the squeamish”

Booklist

“

The Maine setting brings to mind the mysteries of Paul Doiron, but this is much more of a thriller with some brutal overtones, more in the vein of Taylor Stevens’s “Vanessa Michael Munroe” series.

”

Library Journal on Painted Skins

“The narrative is well crafted and full of suspense”

Booklist on Painted Skins

“In the fast-paced, terrifying free-for-all finale, Tess’s bravery and resourcefulness keep her alive in the face of her tormentors’ irrational rage. That Tess and Po always prevail when they kick butt is a big part of this series’ appeal”
