Dead Right

Stillwater Trilogy, Book 3

The people of Stillwater, Mississippi, are asking questions about murder. Again.

Twenty years ago Madeline Barker’s father disappeared. Despite what everyone else thinks, Madeline’s convinced her stepfamily had nothing to do with it. But the recent discovery of his car finally proves he didn’t just drive away. Worse, the police find something in the trunk that says there’s more to this case than murder.

With no other recourse, Madeline decides to hire a private investigator—even if the cops don’t like it. Even if her family doesn’t like it. But when P.I. Hunter Solozano begins to uncover some shocking evidence, someone in Stillwater is determined to put a stop to Madeline’s search for the truth. And that means putting a stop to her. Permanently.

"This story is outstanding. The plot is twisted and Novak leaves the reader swearing that you know the culprit from the beginning, only to prove you wrong in the end. The characters are real and easy to believe. Novak’s storyline is one that is an easy read, yet will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more. This was an enjoyable read for me. I had difficulty putting Dead Right down and was truly shocked at the ending. Novak delivers a true suspense with this novel."

"The final book in Novak’s Dead trilogy is arguably the strongest of the three — in terms of conflict and plotting, at least. All of the characters are well defined, but the hero, heroine and villain are especially well done. This novel is incredibly taut and tense, with some nice sexual tension between the principals — and the denouement is harrowing."

"Dead Right is a complex, layered page-turner with great in-depth characters. It’s about good and evil and family love. Is there any greater more terrifying than bad masquerading as good? The heroine’s long-dead father, who was a preacher, is such a man. As she unravels the truth about his life and death and secrets, she must face the worst any daughter would ever have to face. Wonderful male characters! I loved the heroine’s brother and the hero! I couldn’t stop reading until the last page!"

"Dead Right is the third and final book in a compelling trilogy. This last installment is fantastically written. Ms. Novak will take you on a suspenseful journey, unraveling a mystery that is sure to keep you on edge of your seat. I strongly suggest reading the first two books of this series. Each book builds on the other, and fills in pieces of this mystery so that Dead Right wonderfully wraps up this compelling, and very well-written trilogy. Ms. Novak, you have a new fan."
