Romantic Suspense

By Kelly Irvin
Closer Than She Knows cover- Kelly Irvin

Closer Than She Knows

A serial killer bent on revenge . . . and striking too close to home.

 

Teagan O’Rourke has always loved murder mysteries. In her job as a court reporter, she has written official records for dozens of real-life murders. She’s slapped evidence stickers on crime scene photos. She’s listened to hours of chilling testimony. But she’s never known the smell of death. And she never thought she might be a victim.

Until now.

Looking for strong female leads? These stories won’t disappoint!

Mystery, suspense, romance, and so much more

I love reading mysteries featuring characters (especially women) for whom I can root. That’s the kind of book I want to write. My name on a romantic suspense novel is synonymous with strong female characters, plenty of twists and turns, and a deeper theme intended to keep readers thinking about the story long after they close the book. About Trust Me, Publishers Weekly says, “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.” That’s my goal–and my promise–with every story I write.

Sara Wise, librarian

Tell her No Lies

A page-turning mystery “In a world where so many present one facade externally and another inside their homes, this novel shines a light on the power of truth to cut through the darkness. Wrap that inside a page-turning mystery and some sweet romance and it’s a story perfect for readers who love multiple threads.”  

Cara Putman, author of the Hidden Justice series

Tell her No Lies

Rapidly paced breathless suspense “Irvin creates a complex web with enough twists and turns to keep even the most savvy romantic suspense readers guessing until the end. Known for her Amish novels, this two-time Carol Award finalist shows that her talents span subgenres from tranquil Amish stories to rapidly paced breathless suspense.”
