Sillery: in a chilling discovery, the cold, stiff, lifeless body of 75-year-old Jacques Savoie was found with 27 stab wounds to his vital organs. Alongside him, his ex-lover, 60-year-old Claire Le Blanc, was found unconscious in his mansion.
In shock, Claire has a tenuous grip on her memory. Her recollections are blurred, fragmented, disjointed, and surreal.
Detectives Gilles Gagnon and Kimberly Côté are uncovering more sinister aspects of the case. By dissecting the layers of confusion in Claire's fragmented memories, they slowly unravel the mystery.
Ultimately, they unearth the disturbing truth: Claire is merely a puppet manipulated by invisible strings.

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 ;)
Vanished (ONC 2023)
Until recently, Mia's biggest challenge was attracting visitors to a province whose unsolved crime rate keeps climbing. After her Bear Claw Lake ice fishing tourism campaign gets axed because a body was discovered, an unusual stranger offers her unconventional help to catch a potential serial killer. Even with his help and that of her childhood friend from the affected community, the clues leave Mia with more questions than answers. But she must discover the truth to keep the province safe, get justice for the victims and save her job. Trigger warning: This story is related mature because there are brief mentions of the suicide of a family member having an effect on a supporting character as well as one scene that flashes back to child abuse in the form of neglect resulting in a near-death experience.
