Shadows of Closure by lovelyst4r

When world-renowned detective Elena Graves is summoned back to her sleepy hometown, she's reluctant but intrigued. The local sheriff, Ethan Reid-a former classmate who once mocked her obsession with solving mysteries-has reached out with a chilling case no one else can crack: a serial killer targeting victims with unsettling precision. As Elena and Ethan work together, they uncover a harrowing truth-the killer's ultimate target might be Elena herself. Struggling to stay ahead of the murderer, Ethan takes it upon himself to protect her, a decision driven not just by duty but by guilt for dragging her into the danger. The closer they get to the truth, the more old wounds resurface. Ethan reveals that he pursued law enforcement inspired by Elena's passion and as a way to reconnect with her. But instead of the closure he sought, their partnership reignites feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. In a race against time, Elena must unravel the killer's twisted motives while navigating the tension between her and Ethan. As the mystery deepens, so does their connection, leaving them both to wonder if they can survive the deadly game-or if their rekindled bond will shatter under the weight of the secrets they uncover.

Murder In Roxie Cove by HeartlessVibes

When a well-known teen is found murdered four people find their lives turned upside down ... each of them holding on to a life-threatening secret of their own makes it hard to not point a blaming finger especially when the only person who knew of these secrets is the one who ended up dead. * * * It's summer in the small town of Roxie Cove, and the smell of freshly cut grass and sizzling barbeques fill the air. Every summer, the teens are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to spend their time at Saint DeLuca, a campsite on the outskirts of town. It is a place where they can be as reckless and as sneaky as they want without their parents finding out. That's all thanks to the camp counselors. This year's core five are Kian Sullivan, Avani Grant, Dawson Hunt, Nadine O'Connor, and Marcel Bailey, and they want to make it their mission that the campers have the summer of their lives. But, when Avani Grant is found floating in the lake with stab wounds so severe she's almost unrecognizable right before the campers are supposed to show, the cops shut down Saint DeLuca. With Kian, Dawson, Nadine, and Marcel the last four to see her alive, of course, they're the main suspects. With the town on edge and Avani's web of clues slowly untangling, it's a tale of whodunnit. But as the investigation pursues, it turns out Avani held onto secrets many would want to take to the grave. Now it's time to find out who took that meaning a little too serious?

Wives' Murder Club by 1-800-Smackabitxh

The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)

Promise Me Altea by Melora2U

Liz woke up in a stranger's body... and into a life dripping with secrets. Altea was sweet. Soft-spoken. The kind of girl no one suspected-until it was too late. Now Liz walks in her skin, carrying ghosts, questions, and a heart that's not hers. But someone is watching her. Someone who sees too much. And then there's him-the detective with storm-cloud eyes and a past that cuts like glass. He's supposed to find the truth. She's supposed to stay hidden. But when their paths collide, something dangerous begins to stir... something neither of them can control. In a city where every smile could be a lie and every death could be deliberate, love is the most dangerous trap of all. A haunting thriller laced with slow-burn romance, identity twists, and deadly intentions-where nothing is what it seems, and no one walks away clean.
