I wanted to spread the word about Staci Troilo’s latest book, Drawn into Malice, and share my review of it.
Blurb
Grace may teach the heart to fear, but a killer can make it stop beating.
When a prominent attorney is found dead in his sprawling mansion, Detectives Paxton and Walsh are called to the scene. As they dig deeper into the lawyer’s carefully curated life, they uncover a masterpiece of deception fueled by mounting debts, multiple affairs, and myriad enemies. What’s crafted to look like a mishap proves to be a meticulously constructed execution. Layers of deception transform a simple investigation into a labyrinth of motives, secrets, and lies.
When the death toll rises, the pressure cooker explodes. The victims seem unrelated, but a sinister thread weaves them all together. With leads fizzling and suspects dwindling, Paxton and Walsh find themselves chasing a murderer who is always one step ahead, and the deeper they dig, the more danger they’re in.
Many artists choose paint for their medium, but one has a preference for blood… and is drawn into malice.
Paxton & Walsh stories deliver the unflinching loyalty and sharp humor of Robert Crais’s Elvis Cole & Joe Pike novels, the dogged determination and complex cases of Michael Connelly’s Bosch & Ballard, and the rural atmosphere and lawman partnership of Craig Johnson’s Longmire series.
My Review

Staci Troilo grew up in Western Pennsylvania writing stories and poetry in her free time, so it was no surprise that she studied writing in college. After receiving creative and professional writing degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, she went on to get her Master’s Degree in Professional Writing, and she worked in corporate communications until she had her children. When they had grown, she went on to become a writing professor, and now she is a freelance writer and editor.
Staci is a multi-genre author. Her fiction is character-driven, and despite their protests, she loves to put them in all kinds of compromising or dangerous situations.
You can find out more about her on her website (stacitroilo.com).
Next read is another new release: Painting Christmas by Jan Sikes. AMAZON LINK
