About the author
Amanda Feyerbend
33 books16 followersAmanda Feyerbend—pronounced Fire-bend—grew up loving mysteries. As a child one of her favorite book series was The Boxcar Children. She would delve into their mysteries and imagine herself working alongside the gang. As she grew, Amanda usually found herself drawn to books with an overall mystery theme, whether the genre was Sci-fi, Fantasy, or Horror. She also loves watching police procedural movies and television shows.
Though her major in college was Biology, Amanda minored in film studies after an amazing high school literature class where she and her classmates made a short film mimicking the style used in the movie Memento. In a film writing class, she finished plotting out a two-year-old screenplay that she’d started after a car accident left her bedridden for a few months.
That screenplay—titled Endless Evil—gathered dust for several years until, in 2013, her coworker and best friend suggested she turn it into a novel. Amanda followed her advice and self-published Endless Evil in February of 2014. She immediately began the follow-up novel, White River, and published it that same year in August.
Since then she’s released two other books in The Pruitt County Mysteries and her first standalone novel, The Ideal Woman, was released in August of 2017.
Amanda grew up in Georgia and is currently in the process of renovating her childhood home with plans to live there. She’s had a menagerie of pets, and currently resides with two rambunctious tomcats who have no problem distracting Amanda from her writing for a cuddle session or playtime. Kimbrel was named after the former Atlanta Braves closing pitcher. She planned to name her second kitty Bosher after the Atlanta Falcons punter, but the name his foster mom gave him, Lupin, stuck.

Couldn't put it down!
Liz has gone through the trauma of losing her husband, the love of her life. Stunned and struggling to cope, she is comforted by her friend but all is not what it seems...
Liz finally returns to work and is assigned a case that has a familiar twist but can Liz and her partner figure it out?
The underlying theme of betrayal, manipulation and sadistic pleasure is palpable and kept me reading all night! I couldn't put it down and I'm so looking forward to the next book in this series.

What an exciting read! The book hooks you in from the beginning! In the next installment of the Liz Lockhart series, without getting into spoilers, two murders happen and the book goes through the steps to solve one of them, but the other one--I cannot wait for the next book to find out if it works out the way I want it to! Great characters (some we've seen before and some new) and believable plot twists. I read it almost straight through!

Detective Liz Lockhart comes home and finds her husband shot to death. There were are no clues or evidence as to who committed this murder. Another murder of a sister stopping by her sister's home.
Two murders leading in different directions. A friend that is not really a friend and a plot to trade murder victims. This will keep you up wanting to finish the novel.

I can't believe the ending! She left us hanging! Talk about a great book.I am so glad Liz is wising up. Simone might have went too far. Be interesting to see how she talks her way out of this. I am sure she will try her best. Liz is finally trying her best at moving on, but Simone keeps getting her little digs in. Can hardly wait till the next one comes out.
