Take Her to the River
(2018)(The third book in the Macey Malloy Mystery series)
A novel by Jada Ryker
Macey Malloy, notorious daughter of an infamous cult leader, hits rock bottom with her trial—and guilty verdict in the harsh court of public opinion. But rock bottom, she discovers, was just a sightseeing jaunt on her trip to the depths of despair.
Never a serious contender for Miss Congeniality, Macey is persona non grata on campus. When she confronts Kayla, a delusional nurse with dark secrets, she’s met with an eerie rendition of ‘Take Me to the River.’ Soon after, Kayla is murdered. Macey’s best friend, Leila, hears the song, collapses, and then vanishes—leaving behind only the haunting tune and Macey the number one suspect in both crimes.
As she searches for Leila, tracks the real killer, and hangs onto her job by her fingertips, Macey faces a more personal battle. Harlan is the dangerously magnetic man from her past and a ruthless leader in her father’s cult. He launches a sensual battle against her heart’s defenses—but he’s also keeping an explosive secret from her. At the same time, the handsome, prolific womanizer Jeremy pursues Macey as if she were the grand prize in a scavenger hunt. He’ll wield any weapon in his single-minded quest to win her, including Harlan’s devastating secret.
With a killer closing in, Macey is out of options—and time. She must rely on an offbeat crew of unlikely allies and her crime-sniffing cat, Wikket. But will their help be enough to outwit a ruthless killer? Or will Macey lose everything—including her heart—before the river claims one more soul?
SPECIAL BONUS: The story, Runnin’ with the Devil Cat, is included free at the end of the book!
The adventure takes place immediately after Take Her to the River, the third book in the Macey Malloy series. When Greta takes up a new hobby—ghost hunting—she finds more than just ectoplasm. After stumbling across a brutal murder, the specter chaser is terrified she’ll end up trapped . . . in a very real prison cell.
She knows who she’s gonna call—Macey Malloy and her crime-busting cat, Wikket.
