This was an arc I received and it didn’t disappoint. Swipe to read the blurb. It’s book 4 in a series but can be read as a standalone. It was a funny page turner with characters that really pulled you in. Highly recommend. 5/5✨

What are you reading today?

When was the last time you read a book with a protagonist who is a senior citizen?

I’m loving this one so far!

That you do not need to set a reading goal to be a bookworm. I have for years and it's fun to track and see the metrics on what I read that month or year. But.. (1/2)

Do you all ever order a new copy of a book you have when the author releases a new cover or bonus material?

For readers of DAUGHTER OF MINE and THE WIFE UPSTAIRS—WALKING ON DEAD LEAVES is the story of sisters (adult, 3- 2 are POV) who discover deadly family secrets after the sudden death of their father. They realize they have to decipher his final message to save themselves.
The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post it that says, “A literary agent’s guide to: WALKING ON DEAD LEAVES by Julian Kennedy. 80k word adult domestic suspense.” The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post it that says, “Thirty-year-old Emma and twenty-seven-year-old Mina are forced to pack up and abandon their lifelong home when their recently-deceased father leaves the house to their callous half-brother. Emma's calm, collected nature is put to the test when she finds a strange note addressed to her and her two sisters in a box containing paperwork left behind by their unassuming father. It says: Do not trust the people in your life. The last thing I want is for any of you to be killed.” The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post-it that says: “Not long after this note appears, they encounter two men hellbent on keeping disturbing secrets from them. Emma goes into overprotective mode, whereas Mina is emotionally devastated and scared. The sisters begin to realize that the key to unraveling this mystery is hidden close to home. If they want to figure out why their father thought they might die, they have to put themselves in danger to get the answer.” The background is a forest of ccolorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white Post-it note that says: “If I stop running, I’m going to die. My heartbeat is almost as loud as the crunching under my feet—the brown, crispy leaves creating a startling orchestra as I sprint. They litter the bridge over the moonlit pond like burnt pieces of paper. My calves cramp but I continue, spurred on by the mental images of everything I’ve lost and everything I stand to lose. Yard by yard, I keep going. And going. And going.”
