Would you know murder if you saw it?

Veteran detective Charlie McClung moves to a quiet Georgia town in search of peace—but peace is the last thing he finds. When a young woman is found dead, the chief declares it suicide. Case closed. But McClung sees the cracks—and so does the dead woman’s beautiful neighbor.

What begins as a gut feeling spirals into a dangerous hunt for the truth. As McClung digs deeper, he uncovers small-town secrets, buried scandals, and a killer who will do anything to stay hidden. With his career, his heart, and his life on the line, he’ll have to solve the case before it’s too late.

Inspired by a true family tragedy, Brilliant Disguise is a gripping mystery with a twist of romance—and a reminder that the truth can cost everything.

Critic reviews

"Brilliant Disguise is a first-rate mystery that harkens you back to the days of Agatha Christie. You’ll feel a sense of nostalgia as you immerse yourself in the story, investigating alongside Det. McClung and eagerly awaiting clues at every turn. It’s an edge-of-your-seat whodunit!” (Monique Michelle Mason, author of Moving at the Speed of Single)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the story line. Each chapter made me want to read the next straight away. I'm looking forward to the next book of the series. Well done to the author! The level of detail made you picture everything as if you were in the room. The narrator did a great job!
