“Secrets don’t stay buried in Serenity.”

In December’s Secrets, A.E. Howe delivers another gripping mystery that unravels the peace of a small town, one truth at a time. The twelfth installment in the Larry Macklin series is sharp, suspenseful, and surprisingly emotional. If you love character-driven detective fiction with real stakes and messy motives, this book is your jam.

Serenity, Florida, isn't new to secrets—but this time, they’re deadly. A young woman turns up dead. Everyone insists it was suicide. Everyone… except Larry Macklin.

He's seen this pattern before. A little too clean. A little too convenient. And that gut feeling? It hasn’t failed him yet.

Here’s where things get twisted. As Larry digs deeper, what surfaces isn’t just a motive—it’s a past no one wants unearthed. Family lies. Political cover-ups. And personal demons that hit way too close to home. This isn’t just a case—it’s a test of conscience.

If you've ever devoured crime novels from Michael Connelly or watched True Detective at 2 a.m., December’s Secrets will feel like home. The pacing is brisk. The dialogue is crisp. And the suspense? Relentless.
