When a reclusive forensic sketch artist, haunted by the unsolved murder of her sister, is asked to draw the face of a suspect based on the fragmented memory of a traumatized child, she realizes the face she sketches is identical to the man she saw the night her sister died. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a disturbing pattern of crimes covered up by a secret society within the justice system-one that she unknowingly helped protect with her own artwork. Now, she must decide: stay silent and safe, or expose the truth and become the final witness on a killer's list.

Wives' Murder Club
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 ;)![The Darkest Moon Star [JDDS SERIES #3] (COMPLETED)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/147505280-256-k670234.jpg)
