Waverly Jones Mysteries

A new mystery series, coming soon!

Waverly Jones has always been fascinated with true crime–and that fascination turned to obsession eleven years ago when her sister was killed, thought to be the last victim of a now-dormant serial killer, and the primary detective on the case went missing. She hates people, has anxiety, and wears what’s been called Resting Sociopath Face with pride, but none of that has stopped her from becoming a successful private investigator. A new serial killer draws her back to her hometown where she still hopes to find out more about what happened to her sister–and where her teenage crush Detective Sebastian Kyle disappeared to.
