Trust Me

Now Available. Recently Released!

When Delaney Broward finds her best friend stabbed to death a decade after her brother suffered the same fate, she must confront her painful past in order unmask a killer who isn’t done yet.

How can this be happening again?
Delaney Broward has spent the last ten years rebuilding her life after finding her brother brutally stabbed to death in his art studio, leaving her without a single living family member. His death even took away her boyfriend, Hunter Nash, who was convicted of the murder. Convinced it’s too dangerous to trust her heart to anyone again, Delaney lives alone. She pours herself into her frame shop in the historic art district in San Antonio. She doesn’t have the husband and children she once dreamed of, but her heart is safe.

Until she walks into her best friend Ellie’s shop and finds she has suffered the same fate. Once again Delaney’s life is shattered by violence, tragedy, and loss.

Hunter Nash leaves prison a free man that same day. He’s determined to prove his innocence, win Delaney back, and restore her faith in God.

Delaney’s mission is to bring Ellie’s murder to justice while protecting her heart. They forge an uneasy alliance, both certain the truth will win out. Both are willing to accept the outcome—if they survive.

In this whirlwind romantic thriller from Irvin (Closer Than She Knows), a convicted murderer and his ex-girlfriend revisit the crime that tore them apart. Ten years earlier, Delaney Broward found her brother, Corey, murdered inside his art studio in San Antonio. Now, in 2020, her old love Hunter Nash is released from prison, having served his sentence for killing Corey, who was also his best friend. Delaney has moved forward with her life and runs a framing shop next door to her friend Ellie, who was once Corey’s girlfriend. But all the trauma rushes back when she walks into a scene that mirrors the circumstances of her brother’s murder, with her best friend Ellie now dead. Delaney escapes the attacker, who tells her to “stay out of it or you’re next.” Det. Andy Ramos considers Hunter the leading suspect, but Hunter approaches Delaney to try to convince her of his innocence of both crimes (“God, give me the words. Please soften her heart,” he prays). Ramos warn them away from each other, but Delaney begins to believe Hunter, and they start their own investigation, reexamining the past for clues. Irvin follows the characters through twists and turns, writing through the lens of faith and broken faith, while illuminating a bridge across shattered relationships to second chances. This one’s an emotional roller-coaster. Agent: Julie Gwinn, the Seymour Agency. (Feb.)

(In this) whirlwind romantic thriller . . . Irvin follows the characters through twists and turns, writing through the lens of faith and broken faith, while illuminating a bridge across shattered relationships to second chances.

“Trust Me is an apt title for Irvin’s new suspense novel. Kelly Irvin is a master at spinning a complex story web with surprising twists and relatable characters. Highly recommended!”—Colleen Coble, USA TODAY bestselling author of A Stranger’s Game and the Pelican Harbor series

"I found I couldn't turn the pages fast enough in Kelly Irvin's latest novel, Trust Me. I promised myself just one more page and I'd stop reading for the night...just one more...just one more. At times I could barely breathe. What a fabulous story! I loved it!"-Carrie Stuart Parks, award-winning author of the Gwen Marcey series

5 Stars For Trust Me

It took me longer than normal to read it but I didn't want to put it down even though life got in the way. There were times I got emotionally invested in the characters and I wanted to respond to them. For me, that's a great sign of a book . . .  You will see healing, new hurts, forgiveness, and even death. Weaved throughout . . . you will see the message of God's grace. I totally recommend this book!

5 Stars for Trust Me

Such a good book! I loved the twists and turns and trying to ferret out the killer from the clues provided. . . .This story is more than just finding the truth, it is also about forgiveness, redemption, and admitting that maybe the love you had for someone isn't dead. . . .

Great combination of plot, mystery, suspense, romance, and faith.

5 Stars for Trust Me

Wow! This was a Nail-biter!

Have you read books that as you’re reading your eyes widen and you gasp out loud? Well you are in for treat. This is one of those books! I tend to try to figure out who did it and this book will keep you wondering until it finally clicks.

5 Stars for Trust Me

. . . . a fast-paced and suspenseful tale  . . . an action-packed and well written story with its richly descriptive plot that will keep [readers] guessing as secrets, possible motives, deceptions, and clues are uncovered during the search for the killer. Just when you think you know who is behind the murders, the author teases the reader with unexpected twists and turns that keeps them sitting on the edge of their seat and guessing until the surprise ending.

Trust Me has enough drama, tension, action, dark secrets, a touch of romance, and unexpected twists and turns that will take the reader on one heck of a thrilling roller coaster ride.

5 Stars for Trust Me

"The truth is always a good place to start. Sometimes a person had to dig deep for it, through layers of friendship, grief, sweet memories, and the sheer desire to slough off anything that would hurt. To the aching, bruised, incontrovertible truth."

Ten years ago, Delaney's world fell apart. Her brother was murdered, and her boyfriend was found guilty of manslaughter. But now he is out of prison, and he claims that he is innocent. And she wants to believe him until her best friend is murdered the day that he gets out of prison. Now she does not know how to find out the truth.

One aspect I appreciated about this book is that the original detectives are involved in the new case. This book is positive about law enforcement. The officers want to get to the truth.

This was an enjoyable suspense book with a touch of romance.

Netgalley Reviewer

5 Stars for Trust Me

Kelly Irvin has a real winner in Trust Me. . . .This is a thoroughly enjoyable read, and the title is apt. The story focuses heavily on trust lost, and the process of rebuilding that trust. There’s tension, and action, and danger, and romance, and humor, all of which combine to make this a five-star read for me.
