Private Investigators Clara Samples and Iris Hadley are at it again.
The two widows are celebrating a successful first year of business when Pritchard Pitts of the Atlanta Police Department swings by with an unusual case.

As they delve deeper into the grisly crime, nothing is as it seems.
From Iris working undercover as a waitress to Clara scouring out-of-state pawn shops, the duo soon discovers more questions than answers.

Now, with eight acclaimed mystery titles to her credit, Kim worked in many different capacities in county government. Still, her job as a correctional officer ultimately offered her opportunities to talk and interact with a diverse group of people. Her experiences run the gamete from inspiring success stories to tragic endings as she writes within her mysteries.
Kim began networking and connected with numerous homicide detectives, medical examiners, and prison officials. Her research has taken her to many places, including morgues, death row, and the occasional midnight visit to cemeteries to gain material for her novels.
Kim is a Saint Leo University college graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. When she is not writing, she enjoys gardening, is an avid reader, and is a proud mother of four beautiful grown children; she currently resides in both Biloxi and Atlanta, Georgia.

Early ARC And BETA Reader Reviews
“Kim Carter, the Queen of mystery thrillers, is at the top of her game in her new novel. Die-hard fans won’t be disappointed, and new readers will be converted to her world.”
– Shaun Sinclair, author, publisher, actor, screenwriter, and executive producer
“Kim Carter does it again, sending her two senior lady private eyes out to prove age is not a deterrent to good old-fashioned sleuthing. From the first page, the author skillfully weaves her characters together with humor and imagination, resulting in a gripping but delightful mystery.”
– Barbara Daniels Dena, award-winning author of The Soul Series, a collection of short stories.
The dazzling golden sleuths, Clara and Iris, and the rest of their crew are at it again. I’m glad that Quita is back, and we can see her growth into a ‘Boss.’ The Root Of All Evil has a cleverly woven plot and a splendid touch of humor, making it the perfect escape.
Novelist Kim Carter did not disappoint us, as she’s masterfully crafted a dynamic ‘whodunit’ that will provide the thrill of uncovering hidden truths and the real suspects! This book is a silent orchestration of suspense, pulling us into a dance with the unknown. Every twist in this intricate tapestry of intrigue conceals another layer of deception, dysfunction, and love.
– Lissha Sadler, Founder of Visions and Books and Hardcore Grind Magazine

“Meet Author Deborah Perdue,” Who is an Award-Winning Writer and Graphic Designer Featured on The Readers Community at All Author…
~All Author Reader Community
SNIPPET:
A self-published author and a book designer, Deborah L Perdue is the author of five books. With a B.A. in English, she has been writing ever since childhood. She writes spiritual articles and blog posts on gratitude. She has a daily practice of writing to keep herself engaged and motivated. In her free time, she enjoys taking walks with her dogs, nature, swimming, and artwork.
“Meet Award-Winning Author Deborah Perdue & Her Books”
Deborah, what is your favorite childhood memory?
We were at a good movie. My parents came and told us we had to go. I was mad. It turns out they had brought two horses to us from Utah; we, all 3 daughters, loved horses. So they introduced us to the two beautiful mares. I wasn’t mad anymore that they yanked us out of a movie! (LOL).
What developed your love for writing?
I have always written since I was a young child. Journaling was something I’ve always done. Then, in school, I continued writing and reading wonderful authors. Eventually, I studied and received a B.A. in English (emphasis: Creative writing), and I’ve been writing ever since.
What makes Gratitude your favorite topic to write about?
I found the power of a gratitude practice when a minister gave us all blank journals and told us to write 5 things we were grateful for every day for 40 days and that our lives would change for the better. It worked. Now, I love to share gratitude in my books and gratitude journals.
Which is the best book to start reading habit with?
Wow, how can I pick one?! Pick a genre you like; for instance, I like modern psychological fiction – one author I love is Kristin Hannah. Start there, read all of her works, and then find similar authors.
Your thoughts on conventional vs. self-publishing? What route did you choose and why?
I chose self-publishing because it allows us to have freedom and get our books out there, rather than trying to get a traditional publisher to take notice and take us on.
How much importance do you place on book titles and covers?
I am also a book designer! (www.illuminationgraphics.com)! So, I place more importance than most people on cover design. It is very important to have a professional book cover. An engaging title is also crucial and good when you can put important keywords into a title and/or subtitle too.
In what ways do you think your book, Grace of Gratitude Journal, will influence the lives of its readers?
The Grace of Gratitude Journal has been published for quite a while. I hear from many that it has greatly impacted their lives in beneficial ways to start a gratitude practice using my beautifully illustrated, inspiring journal.
From where did you get the idea for writing “Daily Gratitude Reflections: 365 Guides to Great-Full Living”?
I have a subscriber list (you can sign up at http://www.graceofgratitude.com). I have been writing thoughts of gratitude Mon-Fri for about 7 years! I picked the cream of the crop in both of my Daily Gratitude Reflections books for these daily guides.
What, according to you, are the key ingredients of a successful book?
I feel the author needs to have passion for their genre. If the author is passionate, like I am, for being grateful, the readers will feel the sincerity and react very positively.
What is the sweetest fan mail that you have ever received?
Here is a short one that I particularly love:
“Keep the vibrations of love flowing! The Daily Gratitude Reflections that Deborah Perdue writes and sends daily are deep and wondrous and touch my heart.
-P. Singh
When are you most inspired to write, and What are some things you do to motivate yourself when you’re stuck in a rut? Since I have a daily practice of writing, that always keeps me engaged and motivated.
What were some misconceptions you had about the book and publishing industry before you became a published author?
I didn’t realize that marketing is so important, even if you have a traditional publisher. Your “job” is not over when you are done writing a book. Getting the word out is very important.
What other things, apart from writing, do you enjoy doing?
Taking walks with my dogs, nature, swimming, artwork, my book design business, friends, and spirituality.
What are some of your plans for the future? Are you working on a new project at the moment?
I plan to write another book about Radical Gratitude. I have started it. I feel there is always something you can find to be grateful for, even when something harrowing happens in your life. I will use examples from myself and others to show how to find gratitude in a tough situation.
When were you first introduced to AllAuthor, and how?
My book marketing person who was helping me recommended your helpful website. This was in 2021 when my new book was launched. It is very useful in promoting my books.
