Novel & Cerita Murder By The Book Lauren Elliott

Lauren wanted to deny it and say that she wasn't leaving, but the woman didn't even bother to listen. Lauren put her hand to her ear, pressing the communicator button to let Akil know she was leaving, her body seemed to weigh even more as she walked down the dark corridor, she knew that if she waited for her it would be worse when she came, and Lauren didn't know if she was ready to see her walking away from another brutal murder so naturally after having asked her not to do it for her sake. He stepped slowly through the room of the praying women, and his feet moved toward the entrance.

I sat beside her, and she immediately stretched her legs back out, her feet landing in my lap. "What are you reading?" She held up the book without looking away from the page. "A mystery novel. A detective in Victorian London." I caught sight of the cover. A woman in a low-cut dress leaned against a man in a top hat, their faces inches apart in the fog. The Scarlet Letter Murders. I grabbed the book from her hands. "Hey!" She sat up, reaching for it. I flipped through a few pages. My eyes landed on a passage. His mouth found the hollow of her throat as his fingers worked the laces of her corset…

She felt the rush of air as his claws missed her throat by an inch, shattering the wooden leg of her old bed into splinters. "Elara, move!" Audrey screamed again. Elara caught the oil-cloth diary in mid-air. She hesitated for a heartbeat, her eyes flickering between the exit and her friend. "I won't leave you with these monsters!" "You're not leaving me to die, you're giving me a reason to live!" Audrey shouted, parrying a strike from a Blight-Walker with her silver dagger. The vibration rattled her arm up to the shoulder. "The book is the only way to save Lucas! GO!"

Elena Winters met them at the entrance—a petite woman with close-cropped silver hair and keen eyes that immediately identified all three of them for what they were. "The Luna's Triad," she said, echoing Dr. Vasquez's greeting. "I never thought I'd see the prophecy fulfilled in my lifetime." "Just Detectives Blackwood and O'Connor," Casie corrected again, already tired of the title. "And our consultant, Mr. Thornwood. We're investigating a homicide." Elena's expression sobered immediately. "Nathaniel mentioned a young Fae girl. Please, come to my office where we can speak privately."

David Carter stepped out first, his face painted with worry—too polished, too perfect. Preston followed, Edith Penrose close behind. And to Lauren’s surprise… Edith was smiling. Smiling at the sight of death. Lauren’s chest tightened. She had once believed her only mission was to find her baby’s killer. But this… this was bigger. After one last glance at the fire swallowing the Carter estate, she turned back to her car and drove home. *** Amy Grant was at home, folding clothes fresh from the washer. Her hands shook, her face uneasy when Lauren entered.

The stench of burning bodies begins to fill the air, and I know that I only have a few minutes to get out of there before the authorities show up. The doors fly open, and suddenly, Lauren comes running towards the room, screaming at the top of her lungs. Where the fuck did she come from? "How many more people are waiting for me?" I grumble. "You weren't supposed to make it out alive," her voice is shaking. "Is there anyone else?" I scream at her, and she shakes her head no. I give her a nod. Pulling my pistol out of its holster, I put a single bullet in her forehead. Her body crumbles to the ground, and I step over her on my way out.

“Why does it matter if I’m a good actor?” “Okay, so here’s the thing,” Everly said, her thumbs hooked through the pockets of her jeans. “Maura came here to get the book, but we don’t know why she wanted it right? Is there any reason that she knows of why we would know that she has it?” Jack went over what Everly had just said in his head but he wasn’t sure that he was following her. “What’s that?” “Do you think that Maura is aware that we know that she managed to steal the book?” Everly asked, speaking slowly, like she was talking to a five-year-old.

Which what purpose? Lara discovered the book when she was in her second life. The name of the author was blurry and she couldn’t find who was the one that published that book. No one knew about it, no one had heard about it. However, just as she finished the book for the tenth time, something happened, she died. The plane she was inside exploded, and just like that, she returned to her first life. ‘Those bastards… this time I will make them pay.’ **** “Did you hear?”

It was a simple little cottage. Raven was just a simple girl working in a company, living in a small house from her earnings to the town. One day, that would change. One day, she'll move from the wretched Domsville, where every second was a risk. Nobody knows her as RD, except for her crew. Nobody knows anything about the murderer except for the fact that a tattoo of the two letters, RD, was permanently on his or her back. She let the police figure it out with a mistake.
