John Mefford’s Reviews > Dead at Midnight > Status Update

The roots of this story are based upon real-life events. It's a history that is not taught. I had to dig for it. And when I found it, the idea for this novel came to life.
We all have to come to terms with our bloodlines, including Alex. What she uncovers will shake her to the core. But only if she survives.

I'm really thankful for this latest review from a long-time reader:

"Mefford's development of Alex and Ozzie over the years has been nothing short of remarkable. This latest edition of the Austin underworld is well worth reading. I do suggest reading where and when there are no distractions."

Alex is self-aware enough to recognize her unbreakable spirit was hardened by a tough upbringing. Her family name had never brought her joy or even a hint of pride.

In Dead At Midnight, she's met with new information. How will it impact her investigation into a missing young woman?

More than she can possibly fathom.

Fun (scary?) fact: While Dead At Midnight is fiction, a key element of the novel is straight from the history books.

And it will shake you to your core.

A recent reviewer included the following in his 5-star review:

An edge of your seat mystery. So many twists and turns. An action-packed page turner.

Love it!

Today is pub day for DEAD AT MIDNIGHT! I'm so thankful for all the reviews.
Here's one that stood out to me:

"An exciting and mind-blowing story."

Only 1 day until pub day!
For Alex, solving the case means confronting the bloodline she can’t outrun.

Another good tagline: Two women missing. One past unburied. Time is running out for Alex...

Another strong tagline:
When the past resurfaces, no one is safe—not even the truth.

New tagline: The sins of her ancestor make Alex feel like a pariah—now they might make her a target.
