Darkwater Secrets | Spotlight & Excerpt

Welcome to the Darkwater Secrets by Robin Caroll blitz and giveaway, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

A murder investigation uncovers sordid secrets and haunting mistakes.

The Darkwater Inn stands tall and proud in the French Quarter, the hub of New Orleans. Bourbon Street is bustling, and General Manager Adelaide Fountaine has her hands full with a hotel at full capacity. She, along with everyone else, is shocked when a body is found: a hotel guest stabbed with a kitchen knife.

Detective Beau Savoie, Adelaide’s childhood friend, is on the case. As Beau digs into the victim’s past, he unearths a shocking connection between Adelaide and the murdered guest. Beau is hurt that his friend—the woman he’s quietly loved for years—kept the truth from him. And, to make matters worse, the stress of the investigation has sent Adelaide right into the comforting arms of her coworker Dimitri. But Beau can’t press Adelaide too hard . . . he’s keeping secrets of his own.

Can Adelaide and Beau afford to hide from the truth with a killer on the loose?

EXCERPT FROM DARKWATER SECRETS

“Ms. Fountaine, this is Allison Williams from WDSU. I’m following up on a report of a murder in the Darkwater Inn. Would you care to comment?”

How did she know already?

“We have no comment at this time.” Adelaide pinched the bridge of her nose and rested her elbows on her desk.

“So you can only verify there has been a murder?”

Sneaky woman. “No comment.”

“Come on, Ms. Fountaine, we know that homicide detectives have been dispatched to the hotel, as well as the coroner.”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Williams. The Darkwater Inn has no comment at this time.” Adelaide ended the call and pinched the pressure point harder.
