In just a few days, on October 11th, the explosive new mini-series BREAKDOWN will continue with book 2, so many secrets by Vicki Hinze! Read on for an excerpt and to enter the weekly BREAKDOWN giveaway!

BREAKDOWN is a unique and groundbreaking four-book suspense series, written by four authors that will keep you turning pages until the killer is finally exposed.

Shutter Lake, nestled in the peaceful Sierra Nevada Mountains, is rocked by a shocking murder. Four women, friends who moved to the area to find healing and solace, must now dig deep and overcome the scars of past troubles to find a ruthless killer.

About so many secrets by Vicki Hinze

THE BREAKDOWN DEEPENS… Seven years ago, Dr. Dana Perkins came to idyllic Shutter Lake seeking safety from a traumatic experience in Phoenix. She became the principal at Shutter Lake School—and found her refuge . . . until Sylvia Cole was killed and one of Dana’s best and brightest students, Vinn Bradshaw, confessed to the murder. A murder Dana is certain he didn’t commit.

But who is he protecting? Why? Seeking the truth shatters Dana’s safety. Yet who could have predicted proving Vinn innocent would jeopardize her friends and neighbors . . . and expose so many secrets?

A note from Vicki

I love riveting suspense. Growing up, The Stepford Wives was a favorite. When a group of author friends got together (Debra Webb, Regan Black, Peggy Webb and me) and discussed writing a suspense mini-series, we decided on a “perfect” town that endures an unexpected event.  An event that shatters the illusion of perfection secret by secret, lie by lie, and reveals you can know too much. Four strong and capable women haunted by traumatic experiences in their pasts, step up, summon the strength, and forfeit nothing and no one in their determination to find the truth.

This four part mini-series continues with the release of so many secrets by Vicki Hinze on Thursday, October 11, 2018.

We’ll be celebrating each release every week as the series continues throughout October!

Enjoy this excerpt from so many secrets

Five days.

Impossible to believe but that’s all it had taken for the idyllic vision of Shutter Lake, California, lauded by Country Living as the most perfect town in all of America, to prove  perfection is a façade and all the safety and security sought and found in it had been an illusion.

One murder. Illusion shattered.

One murder, and so many secrets…

A shiver crept up Dr. Dana Perkins’s backbone.  She stiffened against it, determined to reclaim her sense of security here. At the deli counter inside Stacked, a block off downtown’s main square, she ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad and a bottle of Evian berry-flavored water, then glanced over to the cluster of two-dozen tables. About half-full.  A lot of people were having a late lunch today.

Dana took a table surrounded by empties then settled in and reached for a sheaf of papers from her tote.  She had been through the school records at least a dozen times, but maybe in the sandwich shop, she would be more objective, gain some new insight, and see something she had missed.

Oh, but she needed to be certain she hadn’t missed anything.  After Phoenix, to retain her sanity she had to be absolutely certain she hadn’t missed any warning sign.
