Suspect 21

by I.D. Cortez

Wit meets murder in a battle against the supernatural. But will Katelyn Raspberry find what's behind the mysterious suicides?

It’s a murder trial in Wood Green, London. An unnamed psychopath who hasn’t said a single word since her arrest is standing trial for multiple induced suicides. But she isn’t the only one accused of the dreaded crime. A dead man has also been called to the stand. In what turns out to be the most controversial trial of all times, retired MPS Detective Katelyn Raspberry is invited to testify as key witness in an alleged “murder” investigation that almost cost her life – And her testimony is all the court needs to acquit or convict a dead man of multiple murder.

Nine years ago when Iain Caskie died mysteriously, everyone thought it was suicide. Everyone but his killers. Murdered by the very man he trusted the most and trapped between the living and the dead, his restless unforgiving soul roams with a strong yearning for retribution until nine years later when a young, Australian beauty accidentally sets him free. That’s when the mysterious suicides begun and rumours of a dark, vengeful demon luring people to an early grave starts to spread.

When a Roman Catholic Priest dies mysteriously, retired Metro Police Detective Katelyn Raspberry gets a very strange request from the millionaire prime suspect. A bargain for a confession in exchange for independent representation. But she isn’t ready for the evil she is about to confront until she is caught-up right in the middle of a dark secret that was buried nine years ago. And as the deaths grow sporadic, she realises she has to uncover the long forgotten truth about a dead man... or end up on the dead man’s death list herself – and that’s a testimony everyone wants to hear.

[Samantha Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I say about this was wow. Worth the read all the way! The development of the characters was just wow. So incredible, and they were easy to understand and continue on the story. What I think is always a good read is when there is some supernatural twisted in a story. This had it! Well done! Hope to read more soon.
