Book Review: Tin God by Stacey Green

We loved In the Dark, and were eagerly anticipating Stacy's newest book, 

which comes out on Monday, April 8th!

Synopsis: Getting pregnant as a teenager and being coerced into giving her baby up for adoption left a festering scar on Jaymee Ballard’s life. She hovers on the cusp of poverty, unable to escape. After the death of her best friend, Jaymee has nearly given up on getting her daughter back. And now she has found her boss–the only person she almost trusts–in a puddle of blood in one of Roselea, Mississippi’s prized antebellum mansions. 

I just murdered your wife…again

Stuck in emotional purgatory since his wife’s unsolved murder four years ago, Nick Samuels is about to self-destruct. Then, a letter arrives claiming credit for his wife’s murder and boasting of a new kill. When he realizes the new victim is a mirror image of his wife, Nick rushes to historic Roselea determined to tie the murders together and find his wife’s killer.

Nick’s arrival turns Jaymee’s world upside down. His dead wife was Jaymee’s closest friend, and she’s never forgiven herself for the woman’s death. Jaymee realizes the secret she’s been harboring for years may be a motive for the killings, and coming clean with Nick sends them both on a dangerous course.

Up against years of deception, Jaymee and Nick rush to identify the murderer before Jaymee loses her last chance to expose the truth about her daughter’s adoption. 

But the truth doesn’t always set the guilt-ridden free. Sometimes, it destroys them.


Excerpt: LUCKY you- you can read the first chapter on Stacy's blog! 

Review: Why I read this book in ONE sitting:
1. The book is set in Mississippi.
2. The book has all the Southern drama, suspense and noir. 
3. The mystery is wrapped up in the Southern religious norms, giving it an unique twist
4. I love the characters! Seriously Stacy can bring them back ANY time she wants to! 

This is one of thos e books you finish reading and are amazed you didn't see the signs as to who the murderer was sooner. And Stacey's gives you another little twist at the end to turn everything you THOUGHT you knew about the characters upside down. Yup- it's a roller coaster read that will have you glued to the pages! If you are looking for a perfect mystery to read-pick this one up! You won;t be sorry you did!

She rediscovered her love of writing and wrote several articles for a city magazine before penning her first novel.
