From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Consequence of Anna and Ava and Shalom comes a new, mesmerizing story in the Deep South that will leave you stunned, long after the last page!
A marriage in crisis.
A good-hearted patrol officer.
A possible serial killer.
A clandestine men’s society hiding dark secrets.
Southern Texas, 1958 . . . The Andalusia Inn, a two-hundred-year-old Spanish hacienda off the Gulf Coast, has a life of its own. Built by the Díaz family in 1771, it sits like a crown jewel on a grand estate. Generations have lived and worked there, happy and content . . . until the family tragedy.
The horrific chain of events worsens when a beloved, pretty young Black woman goes missing, dividing the small town crying for Texas justice. All eyes turn to a quiet Mexican immigrant who swears he’s innocent. But is he? And if not him, then who? The answer will prove to be a great revelation, both shocking and staggering!
A tale of bone-chilling twists and turns, weaving Southern Gothic mystery with psychological suspense, To Kill a Singing Bird will pull you into a world where power corrupts, guilt festers, and the past is never truly dead.
Atmospheric, unsettling, and emotionally gripping, this haunting story is perfect for fans of Demon Copperhead, Where the Crawdads Sing, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
