Darkness Drops Again, by Melissa E. Manning
The fun legal thriller, Darkness Drops Again by Melissa Manning, has been called “gripping from the first page,” and just may be your perfect summer read!
It’s different from other books in the thriller genre because it features….a working mom! Maeve Shaw already struggling with work-life balance at her high-powered law firm job, when she’s forced to take on a pro bono murder trial representing another accused of killing her opioid-addicted daughter. But wait…has the prosecution gotten it all wrong? And what childhood demons of Maeve’s are going to start creeping out?
Grab your copy of Darkness Drops Again on Kindle or in paperback, for a page turner you won’t want to put down.
