LAY THEM TO REST

Murder, whether meticulously planned or the result of impulse, is always a depraved, selfish act. Money, jealousy and rejection are often the drivers of such evil. In this eclectic collection of THREE fast-paced crime novellas, no stone is left unturned, no clue unexplored after murderers steal the lives of complete innocents.

Lay Them To Rest brings together stories that will introduce you to author Belinda Bennett's work. Boasting the original, dark and strange, it features the following stand-alone reads:
