A Fortunate Murder: the blackout edition (Shattered)

CAN SHE KEEP A SECRET SHE DOESN’T KNOW SHE KNOWS?

IN BETHEL, SHADOWS WHISPER TRUTH—AND SECRETS CAN KILL.

Moriah “Mojo” Jordan returns home to help her childhood best friend beat a murder charge. But the longer she stays, the more her own mind begins to betray her.

Objects appear with no explanation. A familiar stalker lurks in the shadows. And blackouts leave Mojo questioning her own reality.

As evidence mounts, her high school flame, Linc Matthews—chief investigator for Lafitte Parish—begins to wonder whether Mojo is chasing the truth…or hiding it.

To clear her friend’s name, Mojo must untangle a web of corruption, buried loyalties, and small-town secrets while deciding whom she can trust—including herself. Someone has been pulling strings behind the scenes, and the truth may disappear before she can remember it.

A Fortunate Murder—the blackout edition is a clean Southern Gothic psychological thriller filled with mystery, memorable characters, humor, romance, and twists that keep tightening until the final page. It is Book One of the Shattered series.

The blackout edition expands the original novel with new scenes, deeper character development, additional revelations, and a clearer timeline—bringing Mojo’s story into sharper focus without sacrificing its mysteries.
