Finding Jacob
Stephanie Oliver has accepted a contract from Tophat Publishing to write the true story of the infamous Brewer family of Havenridge, Georgia. It seems there are more dirty, little, secrets about the Brewers than the rich and famous Duponts and Rockefellers. The novice author has found herself between a rock and a hard spot since the last heir of the Brewer is deceased. Filtering out the truth surrounding the powerful family from rumors and urban legend will be a challenge.
What does a faraway insane asylum have to do with the Brewers and the people of Havenridge? Who were the Lovers of Blue Lake? Why did the most-feared patriarch of the Brewer family want a drifter in town to disappear and never to be seen again?
Stephanie Oliver must become a historian and an amateur sleuth to unravel the dark details but some people do not want the past exposed in a tell-all book and will stop at nothing to prevent Stephanie from publishing her book.
Danger, Deadlines, and Death lie around every corner in this fast-paced adventure mystery. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

NOVELS
The Amber Series:

Book 3, “The Pied Piper/ Evil Returns,” has some of your favorite characters from books one and two in a new story that has twists, turns, and an ending full of surprises.
Taylor’s debut novel, “Secrets of Havenridge,” was re-released as a second edition in the fall of 2017. It is the beginning of the Havenridge Mystery series. The new edition was reshaped and rewritten, packed with additional mystery elements and tension, but with the same lovable characters you fell in love with from the original book.
The sequel in the Havenridge Mystery series is “Finding Jacob.” It answers the mystery of the Lovers at Blue Lake and discloses why Jacob never returned to Havenridge. There are plans to merge this epic novel into a trilogy series.
Chris follows the belief of the late film director Alfred Hitchcock with her novel writing, which is that suspense builds better in the minds of your audience/readers. Therefore, she never needs to add any bloody or gory details. Taylor gives only enough detail to the crimes in her novels that is necessary. She plants clues and paints romantic scenes with enough spice.
In addition to her writing, Chris Coad Taylor is an award-winning photographer and a lifelong artist. She lives in Florida with her husband.
