My name is Ebony Woods and I believe I live in a world where the most unobservant, ignorant and absolutely clueless people walk the earth. Too bad that summarises pretty much everyone.
The Trail, a sunken grave of a memory of the beautiful park it once was is not your ordinary walk. It's a path you take and never come back from once you've jumped over the wall.
Missing cases relating to the Trail are rare. However when my friends and I become the only witnesses to the murder of an eight year old boy related to the place, it's hard to untie ourselves from the drama.
Normally, I would rather stay at home and study for my Leaving Cert but now, my friends Akashi, Will, Trinity and I learn how to balance school life and surviving, with a vengeful murderer on our tails.

There's murder.
There's suspense.
There's drama.
There's a whole load of random humour dotted around the book, and of course, the inevitable, teenage romance. Because this is Wattpad. But there's no mafia, I promise :D
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
***
Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner!
