Description
Meet Logan McKenna … fiercely loyal, and impossibly inquisitive.
In SHATTERED, the first book in the original mystery series and stunning fiction debut with which Valerie Davisson lets us crave for more, Logan McKenna loses her husband, her illusions, the company they built together, her music, and now, probably her job. But that won’t stop her from digging into a murder investigation that keeps Southern California’s tight-knit artist community on its toes and law enforcement cluelessly guessing.
At loose ends, and running out of money after buying a fixer upper on the coast, she decides to help out her best friend from high school, Thomas, a Native American artist, and his wife Lisa at their booth at the Otter Arts Festival, in the idyllic coastal town of Jasper, where she and her police-officer brother Rick grew up. When one of the talented, young artists is found gruesomely murdered at the festival, Logan is faced with the reality that her best friend not only lied to her, but may be guilty of murder. It’s up to her to find out what really happened that night, before the murderer kills again.
If you enjoy reading Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon, Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone, Dana Stabenow’s Kate Shugak, or J. A. Jance’s Joanna Brady series, you will love getting to know Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna.
Advance Praise
“…Impossible to put down once I started reading. The descriptions of people and places make you feel like you are living the story…” – Marcus, Phoenix, AZ
“…Great new series…excellent development of the lead character, Logan McKenna. As well as the wonderful scenery development and descriptions of the art shows.” –Oh My Bookness Reviews
“I love this series! I read so many mysteries, it’s hard to get excited about a new one, but Davisson’s feels fresh - I really like Logan McKenna and care what happens to her.” – The Divine Ms M
“…Wonderful book for your library as well as for a reading group…plenty of subject matter that would make for great discussion…” -Tic Toc Reviews
“…I really loved, and that make this book 'pop' and remain fascinating the whole way along, was that there were several interlocking storylines, and it didn't feel like the minor ones were put in just for show. It created a real world…” – The Cosy Dragon Book Reviews
“…A good mystery is always good news, and the hint of a good series is always better…highly addicting page turner… scenery detailed beautifully…moves deftly between description and dialogue, and the back and forth play between characters was great. Logan has no formal crime investigation experience and I found myself thinking, yep, I'd probably do that, too. Her back story was tragic, but everything was believable. And when all things point to one conclusion, something engages Logan's memory and a new path is forged. Great mystery read, and a good start to a mystery series.” - Succotash Reviews
“…there’s nothing more enjoyable than a good story; this is definitely one of "those" books! ..but it was the story itself, the interaction between the interesting characters that had me from the get-go. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!” -Janet, Orange County, CA
