From the author of Ours is a Tale of Murder comes a thrilling new story about murder that runs in the family. Told through dual timelines and haunting letters from prison, Like Mother Like Murder is a propulsive psychological thriller perfect for fans of Tarryn Fisher and Iliana Xander.
At thirty-four, Julia has perfected the art of appearing normal. She's a successful corporate lawyer, newly married, and soon to become a mother. No one sees who Julia really is.
Except for her little sister, Grace.
Fourteen years ago, Julia and Grace's stepfather was murdered. Grace found his body, their mother confessed, and the case was closed. Now, letters are arriving from prison. Their mother claims her confession was a lie meant to protect Julia, and she's finally ready to tell the truth about what happened that night.
But Grace already knows what Julia is capable of. She's helped clean the blood from her sister's hands before. She's spent years protecting, believing, and choosing Julia. Forced to confront the past, Grace must face the truth she's tried to bury: Julia doesn't kill when she loses control. She kills to maintain it.
