Five women slaughtered. One deadly connection. And the clock is running out. Five women with nothing in common are found brutally murdered in a quiet Washington, DC townhome.

Now, newlyweds Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday team up with the legendary Lovers in Crime to unravel a dangerous web of lies, cover-ups, and political secrets. In the high-stakes world of Washington, DC, one wrong move could make them the killer's next targets. In the explosive first installment of the Thorny Rose Mysteries, can Murphy and Jessica stop a cunning murderer before the body count rises again?
