Lights! Camera! What big teeth you have…
After her brush with death on a frozen mountain and an upsetting conversation with her boyfriend Eamon Stone, Detective Isobel 'Bel' Emerson is desperate for her life to return to some semblance of normalcy. So when Aesop's Files, Hollywood's most popular paranormal crime drama, announces it'll be filming its upcoming episodes on location in Bajka, she hopes the excitement, the famous actors, and the overtime pay will be a welcome reprieve from the madness. But when a crew member is found in the woods wearing only a red hooded cloak, gruesomely murdered in a way that mimics the show's fictional deaths, she knows her prayers won't be answered. Another predator has claimed Bajka as its hunting grounds.
As the body count rises and relationships strain, Bel battles her inner demons and races to stop a killer who's always one step ahead of the police. The constant snow and the bodies in the woods remind her of her own recent kidnapping, forcing her to face the truth about Eamon's past and their romance. Will their relationship survive the revelation? What's more, will she survive this investigation? Because an elusive serial killer is hunting Hollywood's favorite heartthrobs, and he shows no signs of stopping… not even when Bel ends up in his crosshairs.
Loosely inspired by 'Little Red Riding Hood,' Evidence of a Folktale is book five in the Autopsy of a Fairytale series, a crime procedural romantic suspense perfect for those who like dark fairytales, murder mystery/crime procedurals, romance, found family, and a hint of fantasy. Each book will be based on a different fairytale, but Bel (and her Beast) will connect them all, her story ending on small cliffhangers in each book. This series must be listened to in order.
