Phoenix

Picture
Kimberly Packard has written an unusual mystery with a major suspect as the protagonist in her book, Phoenix.  

          Amanda Martin’s boss and boyfriend, Josh, set her up as an unwitting accomplice while he and his partner embezzled funds from their company.  By the time she discovers what they did; the men had fled and the police were after her.  A tragic event gives her an opportunity to hop a bus and go after Josh. 

          Join her on her journey and try to outguess her.

         “ “Good looking girls don’t get on buses like this unless they are running from something. So, what’s the story?  You catch your man cheating?”
         This bus jockey Casanova had no clue how right he was.  Yes, Amanda caught her man cheating, but not in the arms of another woman, although it wouldn’t surprise her if infidelity was part of his crimes.”

She ends up in the small, sleepy town of Phoenix, Texas.  At least she thinks it is a sleepy, little town.  Mandy, as she is called in Phoenix, gets a job as a reporter and general office worker at the local newspaper. She discovers an old mystery and decides to try to find out ‘who dun it’.
          As she settles into the town, she puts her “other life” on hold.  Is she going to go back to her search for her old boyfriend to clear her name or is she just going to sit back and enjoy her new life?  This is a book that you definitely cannot leave on the bookshelf at the store.
          Kimberly Packard received a degree in journalism from the University of North Texas and worked in public relations and communications for nearly 15 years.  She is Vice president of her writers group, Greater Fort Worth Writers.  She is an avid rollerblader, a devotee of yoga and a voracious reader.  She lives in North Texas with her husband Colby, Jerome the cat and a 56 pound lapdog named Charlie.
