Split

by Keri Neal

Grace Montgomery’s life has been one disaster after the next. This morning, Grace walked into her local Sheriff’s office and confessed to killing three men.

Kyle Tucker is the Sheriff of Thirteen Pines. He already has his hands full with the three dead bodies that turned up in the lake, now there’s this woman who claims to have put them there. All of this has become more complicated by the disappearance of his brother.

Caleb Tucker has never cheated on his wife. Until now. He is Grace’s latest victim, and he has less than twenty-four hours before the poison shuts down his system. Shackled, he reflects on the last ten days of his captivity.

Deputy Ed Berman is smitten by the lovely woman who claims she is a murderer. While unraveling the pieces of Grace, he will reveal the truth about her sister, her affair and her confession to murder.

Ego is a mystery-thriller novella. It will be available as an Ebook on March 5, 2012.

About the author

Keri Neal is a native Californian who calls Texas “Home”. Growing up an only child, she was a big movie buff and an even bigger reader. As a child, she would write mini-mysteries on her typewriter and fantasize about becoming the next Christopher Pike. As an adult, she showed no interest in writing until her BFF, Cheryl sent her a text one day: “I’m thinking about writing a novel…”. And so they did. It was a fun, soul-crushing experience that taught her about the thrill of self-expression and the agony of rejection. Keri lives near Austin with her husband, two children, two hamsters and a snake. She crochets, sews, reads, paints and loves all things artsy and craftsy

[Kimberly Mills · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great first novella! I also wish it could have been a longer novel. It was somewhat rushed and I wanted more exploration of the characters and their backstories. But it really sucked me in, didn't want to put it down.

Good story, but I would have liked to see it as a full sized novel.

In some parts it was quite confusing. It kept me guessing though and I like that in a book. I would have like more character background but for a Novella it was a great quick read.
