Cover Reveal Time!

February 26, 2019 By Julie Klassen

It’s always an exciting time when a new book cover is created, especially since the Bethany House design team does such a great job. Are you ready to see the cover of my next book? Drum roll, please…

A New, Stand-Alone Romantic Mystery—Coming Soon!

Cover by Jennifer Parker & team

After a humiliating mistake, lawyer Benjamin Booker resolves to never again trust a beautiful woman. When an old friend is killed, the senior partner isn’t satisfied with Bow Street’s efforts and asks Benjamin to investigate. Evidence takes him to a remote island on the Thames, a world unto itself, shrouded in mist and mystery. Soon he finds himself falling for the main suspect—a woman who claims not to have left the island in ten years. But should he trust her?

When Mr. Booker arrives with news of her trustee’s murder in London, Isabelle Wilder is stunned. She has not left the island, yet she has a recurring dream about the man’s death. Or is it a memory? When a second person dies and evidence shockingly points to her, Isabelle doesn’t know who to trust: the attractive lawyer, or the admirer and friends who assemble on the island, each with grudges against the victim. Can she even trust her own mind? While they search for the truth, secrets come to light and danger comes calling.

The book releases in December, but you can pre-order it now from your favorite local bookstore, or from Amazon or Books-a-Million (and other retailers when available).

I hope you find this cover as beautiful and intriguing as I do, because I can’t wait to share this new novel with you!

(But for now I’d better get back to revising and editing what’s inside the cover… :))

    The book cover is beautiful. You must be so proud…like a new baby in the family. I would love to read it when it comes out. I have to be honest, the only historical fiction books I’ve read were set in Biblical times. (Francine Rivers, Mark of the Lion Trilogy and Bodie and Brock Thoene and all of there books set in the past), but I am always looking to try something new. I will definitely check your book out. Keep up the good work, from one writer to another.
