WHISPERS OF FATE

In the bestselling tradition of Laura Griffin, this second book in a new romantic suspense trilogy features an heiress whose search for her long lost friend has kept her from a man that has always fascinated her, the man assigned to investigate her friend’s cold case.

Christina, Tavey, and Raquel have been haunted for decades by the death of their best childhood friend—a crime that remains unsolved. Decades later, all three are still anchored in their small hometown of Fate, Georgia, and obsessed with discovering what happened to their friend so many years ago.

Tavey Collins’s parents died when she was very young, under mysterious circumstances. She was raised by her grandparents and inherited her family estate when she was sixteen, keeping up the Collins tradition of service to the town and running her various businesses. Her passion, however, is in the training of tracking dogs, which she uses to find the missing, and search for clues into the disappearance of her long lost friend.

When her dogs discover some evidence in her friend’s case, Tavey is determined to once again question a long-time suspect, even as it threatens to drive a wedge in the new found understanding she has with Tyler. The deeper she and Tyler delve into the case, the darker the whispers become, hinting at long-buried secrets in Tavey’s own family, secrets that threaten them both.

Deirdre Dore began writing in second grade, when she was told to create a story about the Trail of Tears, and has never stopped. She has worked as an assistant editor, an English teacher, and a software trainer, among various other careers, but becoming a full-time author has always been her end goal. She lives near her family in Houston, Texas, with her husband and two dogs.

Deirdre Dore’s first three romantic suspense novels can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone novels (as each novel features its own specific crime), or they can be read as a trilogy. The three heroines are connected by their link to a heinous crime that goes back to their childhood when their best friend disappeared, a crime that will be solved in the final novel, a la Nora Roberts.
