Beside the Dead
Book Summary
Harrison Troyer has been a ghost for over a decade. . .
His future silenced by the threat of prison. But now, the secrets that haunted him can no longer remain buried.
Now living in the shadows as a private investigator in Alaska, Harrison is sent to Evergreen Falls, Maine to find a desperate mother’s missing daughter.
But when a terrified woman stumbles into his remote hideaway in the North Woods of Maine, pleading for his help to escape a killer, his fragile anonymity shatters.
Eden’s story of survival is harrowing—and eerily connected to a case Harrison is chasing. As they team up to unravel her abduction, Harrison realizes Eden may hold not only the key to exposing a dangerous predator but also answers to his missing persons.
Deputy Sheriff Samantha Baker is relentless in her search for answers about her sister Mae’s disappearance twenty-three years ago. When Eden’s escape mirrors Mae’s case and another missing woman, Sam suspects the same monster has returned to prey on Evergreen Falls.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with law enforcement, Harrison and Eden plunge into a chilling web of lies, secrets, and deadly truths. With each step closer to justice, the lines between their hunt for the killer and their fight for survival blur. And as their growing bond threatens to thaw hearts long frozen by grief, they must face a final question: can they stop a killer before the past destroys them both?
Beside the Dead is a gripping tale of love, redemption, and the unrelenting pursuit of truth. Packed with pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping twists, this romantic thriller will keep you guessing until the final page.

My Thoughts
I have been waiting for Harrison ‘s
story since I read Among the Innocent, and we get it in Beside the Dead by Mary Alford. Mary Alford has skillfully woven
a tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, offering both thrills and
heartfelt moments. Alford’s ability to craft well-developed characters adds
depth to the narrative, making each revelation and interaction meaningful. The
mystery was intriguing. There were
several suspects plus some red herrings.
As an avid mystery reader, I zeroed in on one person early in the story
(my mother says I have read too many mysteries). I eagerly followed the clues to see if I had
correctly identified the guilty party. I
enjoyed the action and suspense which kept things lively. There is a good reveal
and wrap up at the end.
A touching
romance for Harrison that, while a bit hurried, still adds a layer of warmth to
the chilling suspense. Harrison's journey through the shadows of his past while
navigating the complexities of new relationships is both engaging and
emotionally resonant. Beside the Dead is
an emotional story. The sinister undertones of the story serve as a stark
reminder of the darkness that can reside within individuals, making the twists
and turns of the plot even more compelling.
Beside the Dead is a captivating tale with a missing offspring, absent
remembrances, a twisty mystery, an evil entity, a shocking explosion, and a surprising
revelation.
Beside the Dead is available from Amazon. Harrison was first introduced in Among the Innocent. Mary Alford has Amish Country Killer coming out April 1. You can follow Mary Alford on Amazon, and they will send you an email when she has a new book release. You can follow Mary Alford on Bookbub as well. Thank you for stopping by today! I received some good news yesterday. There was a knock at my door in the afternoon. It was a man looking for Carol (wrong house). By luck, the man fixes and replaces carports (hooray)! After I told him about the trouble I have encountered finding someone to fix my carport, he has promixed to fix mine (fingers crossed). There is some bad news. The materials are taking six months to come in (thanks to two hurricanes Florida had last fall), but he promised to talk to the office for me (since the work will not be done by the June deadline). My prayers have been answered! Kris
