Book 1-3 in The Tara Mills Mystery Series by Amazon bestselling author Sarah Sutton will introduce you to an addictive series with nail-biting suspense. In One Last Step, two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone’s porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the local police realize they have a serial killer on their hands. FBI Agent Tara Mills is soon called in. Meanwhile, something about the case stirs a darkness within her––a tortured past that even her long-term boyfriend doesn’t fully understand. As nightmares consume her, she only hopes that her past will not come back to ruin her once again. Will Tara catch the killer before her inner demons consume her? In One Last Breath, a popular beach town was torn apart when a teenage girl went missing. Now, one year later, after a storm rips through the area, her body is found––strangled and buried deep under the brush of a local beach. But, as the cops uncover her body, another is found––a more recent victim––and they quickly realize it’s the work of a serial killer.With no leads, the FBI needs Tara’s brilliant mind to crack it. But as she delves into the depths of the popular vacation beach town, she soon realizes that no one can be trusted––and that this killer may be far more brilliant than her. Meanwhile, Tara has decided to uncover the truth of her own past. As she battles the darkness surrounding her childhood, more victims go missing, and with her career on the line, she races against time to stop the killer before she loses it all. In One Last Unveil, a true-crime podcaster is found brutally stabbed to death in her home after walking her child to the bus stop. At first, all signs point to those closest to her. But when a friend and fellow podcaster digs into her obsession—a cold case laid to rest for fifteen years—and later turns up dead too, local police and the FBI realize that a serial killer dubbed the Silent Stalker could be striking again for the first time in years. With the FBI called in and no leads to follow, they quickly realize they need a brilliant mind to crack the case: FBI Agent Tara Mills. But Tara is reluctant at first. The case reminds her too much of her mother’s when it’s revealed that the victim’s daughter, a selective mute, lost her mother at the same age as Tara. But Tara is compelled as she realizes it is only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As she peels back each layer, she falls deeper into the darkest depths of her mind and into the nightmares she had tried so hard to escape. “First read by this new upcoming author and she has a winner with this series.
