Final Trial by Twelve Pinnable…Releasing May 20th!

Just wanted to share a final pinnable for Trial by Twelve, Book Two in A Murder in the Mountains Series. This is more like a banner, but I like this quote and wanted to share it. 🙂

Trial by Twelve, #Appalachian #Christian #Mystery Available for Pre-Order here: http://amzn.to/1ynw3hP

Also, just a reminder that May 20th is official release day for Trial by Twelve (Kindle and softcover will be available that day on Amazon). You can Pre-Order that here, if you’d like. And I’m so blessed by my endorsements from such a talented group of suspense/mystery authors, which I will share below.

“A satisfying novel, where plot, characters and setting blend into a compelling read. Heather Day Gilbert knows how to keep readers turning pages. Tess is one of those rare-to-me characters I’d like to have as a real-life friend.”~Janet Sketchley, author of the Redemption’s Edge series

“Trial by Twelve confirms Tess Spencer, the Glock-toting mountain mama of Buckneck, West Virginia, as one of my favorite amateur sleuths and Heather Day Gilbert as a first-rate mystery writer. This second book in Gilbert’s Murder in the Mountains series ups the ante on the first: the stakes are higher, the tension runs deeper. Best of all, Gilbert kept me guessing until the end.”~Karin Kaufman, author of the Anna Denning mystery series

“Heather Gilbert brings a fresh new voice to the mystery genre. I love the spunky Tess Spencer and her small town values. The first two books of this series are filled with plenty of suspense and the kind of characters that keep me coming back for more.”~Ron Estrada, author of Now I Knew You

Trial by Twelve, #Appalachian #Mystery on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1ynw3hP

Tess Spencer loves her low-key job at the Crystal Mountain Spa, which allows her plenty of down-time with her one-year old daughter and lawyer husband, Thomas. But when a pool installation turns up eight skeletons in the spa’s back yard, Tess becomes entangled in a sleuthing job destined to go awry.

As the investigation gets underway, someone dumps a fresh body near the excavated burial site, confirming unspeakable fears. A serial killer has returned to Buckneck, West Virginia…a skilled hunter with a unique taste in prey.

When Tess agrees to help the cunning Detective Tucker gather clues from the inside, she discovers the posh spa hides more than dead bodies. Even as she sifts through layers of deceit, Tess realizes too late that the killer’s sights have zeroed in on her.

Unpredictable psychological mystery replete with memorable characters, Trial by Twelve is Book Two in A Murder in the Mountains series.

Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were younger? I caution everyone against eating most wild berries that look like this, but I know right where to find these in my yard and love the taste. They’re #teaberries. I wish I knew more about foraging, since my #appalachian ancestors would’ve been great at it.
