Today is launch day! Whatever It Takes, the second book in the Bri Watters thriller, is officially out in the world!
Readers first met Bri in What We Keep Silent, a slow-burning, character-driven thriller about family secrets, blackmail, and the cost of silence. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of a murderer, Bri vows to change her life and settle a score in the novel’s final pages.
In Whatever It Takes, Bri gives up everything to pursue a PI licence and track down the man responsible. But her first stakeout goes horribly wrong when the mayor of her Vermont hometown is killed on her watch. Bri is pulled from field work. Her boss, Art, is under intense scrutiny. Bri can do nothing to help bring the mayor’s killer to justice until a mysterious cold case lands on her desk.
Bri’s investigation uncovers a shocking connection between the past and the present. She digs into the link behind Art’s back, only to find a community full of secrets and murder.
That specific thread connects these two books for me. What We Keep Silent explored what happens when secrets refuse to stay buried. Whatever It Takes puts Bri on the other side of that question. Now Bri is the one desperate to cross lines and expose them.
How far will she go for the truth, for redemption, and for the chance to prove herself?
I am so pleased that readers can finally find out.
Whatever It Takes is available in paperback and ebook. Learn more at www.briwattersthriller.com.
