Earth to Emily: Emily Bernal 2 — A What Doesn't Kill You Super Series Mystery

For fans of Janet Evanovich, Lisa Scottoline, and Kristin Hannah — the second Emily Bernal mystery, where the adoption is almost hers and everything is in the way.

Emily Bernal has a plan: finish foster care classes, find an apartment, get Betsy back. Simple. Achievable. Completely derailed within forty-eight hours by two runaway teenagers who witnessed a murder, a corrupt cop who stole her phone, a stolen saddle that turns out to belong to Jack Holden's dead wife, and a Christmas Eve murder victim she finds in someone's backyard.

Betsy is with the Hodges — an ultra-religious foster family with twelve children, a suspicious amount of monthly income, and a foster mother who is the sister of the most corrupt officer on the Amarillo PD. Emily is not legally allowed near the school. She watches from the parking lot anyway. This is not helping her adoption case.

The runaway case winds from Amarillo to Wrong Turn Ranch in New Mexico to a warehouse complex in Alamogordo where a bent cop holds Ava Butler at gunpoint and Emily shoots him with her Glock. The adoption case winds through Christmas Eve church services, a passionate kiss on a porch, and the discovery that Jack Holden has been keeping a secret about Emily's father that changes everything she thought she knew about both men.

Earth to Emily is the second book in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Emily Bernal Series — bigger, faster, and more emotionally complex than Book 1, with a New Mexico Christmas and a proposal in a snowdrift. Written by an author who knows this territory from the inside.

She was this close to getting her girl. Then everything happened at once — which, for Emily Bernal, is just a Tuesday.

Grab Earth to Emily today and hang on tight for a high-octane, heart-pounding mystery!

The Emily Bernal Series is Part 2 in Hutchins' What Doesn't Kill You Super Series.
