April’s Desires

“Desire doesn’t always come with a happy ending. Sometimes, it ends in death.”

In April’s Desires, A.E. Howe dives deep into the shadowy corners of obsession, deception, and small-town secrets. The result? A crime thriller that hits like a gut punch—and lingers.

Detective Larry Macklin thought he’d seen it all. That is, until a beautiful woman walks into town and a man ends up dead. Coincidence? Hardly.

As Larry digs in, he finds a trail of misdirection so twisted, you’d swear someone wrote it for TV. But this isn't fiction. This is Serenity—a quiet Florida town where secrets fester behind polite smiles and neighborhood fences. Everyone has something to hide. Especially when desire turns toxic.

What makes this book special? It’s smart. It’s bold. And it doesn’t waste your time.

You’ll get a fully fleshed-out mystery that respects your brain and your time. No filler. Just tension, plot turns, and stakes that rise with every page. Larry is one of those rare protagonists who’s flawed, real, and oddly comforting. He doesn’t have it all figured out—but he’s not afraid to chase down the truth, even if it hurts.
