Leave No Stone by LynDee Walker is the second book in the “Faith McClellan” traditional mystery series. Publisher: Severn River Publishing, coming November 19, 2019.

MISSING WOMAN.
A SADISTIC SERIAL KILLER.
AND A TEXAS RANGER RUNNING OUT OF TIME. . .

Shortly after a young mother mysteriously disappears, a serial killer begins leaving corpses and clues across the Texas Hill Country. Texas Ranger Faith McClellan and her mentor, veteran Ranger Archie Baxter, are assigned to the case.

But this killer is more clever—and sadistic—than any they’ve ever encountered, and the list of seemingly unrelated female victims is growing by the day—an attorney, a pastor, a stay-at-home mom. Each murder features a missing ring finger, severe head trauma, and a cryptic message carved into the corpse. But these gruesome calling cards provide more questions than answers, and with the best coroner in the state unable to identify the murder weapon, Faith and Archie are flying blind.

With the young mother still missing and a mounting body count, it’s up to Faith and Archie to solve the mystery. Before the killer strikes again. . .

Purchase Link

There’s no such thing as a sophomore slump in this bodacious, kick-ass drama from LynDee. Faith is on a hunt and the question is: will she or is she? The author delivered a grippingly haunting tale where nothing was left to the imagination as the powerful narrative held my heart captive as I had to know how this was going to end. Each chapter moved us forward in the struggle to solve this case as the author intended and kept me immersed in the details as I along with Faith sought answers. With strategically placed twists and turns, the drama took a turn with a surprising twist that brought everything to fruition and I was left with awe as riveting tale reached its climatic conclusion. Well done, well done. I can’t wait for the next book in this terrific series.
