Kelly Jo Sweeney

 When I'm not reviewing books, I also write my own. I've got two or three in the pipeline that are still works in progress. My first novel was published May 2024 by Wild Rose Press.

The Body at Back Beach

Helena Statham never imagined herself as a sleuth. But when she stumbles upon the body of a young woman while on a walk, she can't resist the urge to discover who she was and how she got there. Even if it means upsetting the tight-knit community of the small New Zealand town she lives in, and uncovering secrets that have long been buried.

Thirty years ago, a young woman went missing, but no one tried to find out what had happened to her. As Helena investigates deeper, she learns more about what took place back then, putting herself in danger now.

Join Helena on her journey as she becomes an unlikely amateur detective, determined to uncover the truth and bring justice to the long-forgotten young woman whose story has been buried in silence for far too long.

Available now from Amazon, Wild Rose Press and other retailers.
