"The Rumor" by Lesley Kara



"Rumors are like seeds, scattered on the wind. There's no telling where they'll land, but they will. Settling in cracks and crevices, the roots take hold. The seeds sprout. It doesn't matter if they're true or false. The more times they're spoken, the faster and stronger they grow. Like weeds, waving in the air."...…

Joanna doesn’t mean any harm. One day while picking her son up from school she overhears some comments that she will come to wish she’d not repeated.

Rumor has it that someone who had committed a murder as a child, is now grown and living amongst them. Is it true? Can repeating gossip cause that much trouble? Joanna is about to learn a lesson.

Joanna is curious and determined to find out. If not for the safety of her son, but the safety of her hometown. Unfortunately, that same determination may just put her family in danger after all. Joanna’s investigating may bring the killer once again into the light.

I couldn’t put it down. Was the killer really in the same town after all this time? You can’t call on the past without some consequence. With more than one stunning twist I didn’t see coming! What happens when Joanna has to face her worst fears? The killer, or the person being accused of being that child killer, will want to seek their own revenge.

What a great ending. A cleverly crafted story from start to finish!
