Twelve months. Twelve encounters.
Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts
One woman who can sense what others cannot.
A year with the dead
This collection tracks a year’s worth of Ann Kinnear’s interactions with the dead—one for each month. The encounters range from quietly tragic to unexpectedly wry, but each reveals something about the cost of knowing more than most people would want to.
Dip in at any point, or follow the year straight through. These stories can be enjoyed independently of the novels.
“A gifted mystery author, Matty Dalrymple spins entertaining tales of intrigue and suspense like no other.”—Bruce Robert Coffin, international bestselling author
