A Hint About Fatal Impulse đź”Žđź“•

I’m still finalizing the back cover blurb, but it’ll go something like this:




If the runaway mom didn’t sneak back into town, who’s the snow-covered corpse wearing her coat?


Landon Smith doesn’t dare investigate. Juggling intense university courses, a fledgling romance with the geeky writer next door, and an empty bed and breakfast, the twenty-four-year-old trauma survivor is pushing herself to her limit. She’s fighting for her dreams, but she can’t ignore the troubled teen who thinks the body in the woods is the mother who abandoned him.


Digging into the secretive woman’s history, Landon hopes and prays to find her alive. But locating Faye won’t stop her sworn enemy or solve the murder, and Landon fears they’ll both end up on the villain’s hit list.


With her mistakes mounting and her personal life imploding, can Landon expose the culprit and open the door to a family reunion—before she stands face to face with a killer?


Cozy mystery meets Christian women’s fiction in Fatal Impulse, the twisty fifth book in the Green Dory Inn mystery series. If you like female amateur sleuths who don’t quit, small town characters who feel like friends, and troublesome cats, then you’ll love Janet Sketchley’s heartfelt  whodunit.


Green Dory Inn Mystery #5, coming this fall… preorders not yet available.

It’s not a mystery, although there’s a puzzle from the past to uncover.


If you like the character depth of my fiction, you'll like this one too. And if you’re fond of Roy from my Green Dory Inn mysteries, you’ll be fond of Walt.


These characters engaged my imagination, and I enjoyed watching the various relationships shift and grow.


And what’s not to love about a crumbling lighthouse stocked with secrets?

I'm waiting for Fatal Impulse to come up on my reader. You've come a long way from your little office in your bedroom closet when you were four or five. Your old mother is sooo proud of you. Much love and many prayers.
