Here it is, Friday again and time for more free bits.
Blurb:
Just when Susan Weston wrote her first big byline, the killer called and hinted at more murders. Not to mention someone started stalking her and leaving red roses at her doorstep. To top it all off, she dropped her bracelet at the murder scene and the handsome detective considered her a suspect. Was she being stalked by a killer? Could she convince the detective she was innocent?
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie kissed the girls and made them cry — now it’s time to die.
He released his hands from the victim’s neck, and the
lifeless body slumped to the ground. He stood back, and stared at it in
disgust.
“You thought you were so cool, didn’t you, George? Playing
all the girls like that. You could’ve had anyone you wanted, but you weren’t
satisfied with one. You wanted them all. Then you broke their hearts and left
everyone else to pick up the pieces.”
He stooped down, lifted George’s head, and propped it
against a rock, then pulled a tube of lipstick from his pocket and smeared it
across the victim’s mouth. How many times had he seen George wipe off his lips
coming out of the locker room? “You won’t wipe it off this time, Buddy.”
He stuffed a paper into George’s hand and tightened his
fingers around it. “You don’t look too cool now.” He laughed and pulled a
container of pudding and a strawberry pie out of his knapsack, opened them, and
dumped them over George’s head. The gooey mixture ran down George’s face.
He licked his lips. “You poor, pathetic bastard.”
Gathering up his knapsack, he took one last look at the
body, then turned and ran from the park. His job was done.

Wow, it's hard to guess if the killer is a sociopath on a quest or a secondary victim seeking payback.
Very good!
Oh my! I agree with Rhobin! Definitely pulls you in over what's going on and what's behind the killer's MO.
A chilling six!! Any reader should be fully engaged...I
This sounds like a page-turner. I'd like to read it!
