At first glance, the residents of Herald Springs lead charmed lives. But behind the dazzling smiles and inside the large brick homes, they all have their secrets. Most are harmless, but then again Annabeth King never did quite fit in.
This newest neighbor is harboring a special secret of her own, one that could prove deadly. Will the members of the “drink and gossip” club figure out what Annabeth’s working so hard to hide before disaster comes knocking?
Walker Texas Wife offers a fast-paced, addictive romp that fans of Desperate Housewives, Search Party, and Pretty Little Liars will find themselves falling hard and fast for. This debut in the new Book Cellar Mystery series will leave you wondering: just how well do we know our neighbors after all?

It had been two days since Brian had written off their loss, said the miscarriage was no big deal—two days since Brooke had made up her mind to leave him, this time for good. And for two days she’d been turning the decision over in her mind, attempting to devise a plan that would set it all in motion. For two days she’d waited with her bags packed, but without the courage to actually, physically leave.
Once Brian had woken up from his nap, he’d acted as if nothing had happened, as if everything hadn’t changed in a heartbeat… or rather, in the absence of one very specific, little heartbeat. But Brooke knew she would never be the same, that whatever she chose to do next could very well change the course of her entire life.
That’s what made every little action so daunting.
If I tell him I’m leaving, will he try to stop me?
If I sneak away, will he come find me?
Will he be angry? Will he try to hurt me?
Will he even care when I’m gone?
The only way to know would be to stop obsessing, and start making things happen.
“Brian, maybe we should talk about getting a divorce,” Brooke said to the reflection over her bureau. “I haven’t been happy in a long time. I don’t know, maybe I was never happy. It’s just that...”
No, that’s too rambly. Be firm, be decisive. Don’t give him the opportunity to change your mind.
She took a deep breath and began again, this time crossing her arms firmly over her chest. “Brian, I want a divorce,” she said in a stern, even voice. Yes, simplest is best. Now you just need to tell him.
