An unidentified sketch of a person\u2019s face appears online with a message saying they have six days to confess or die. At the end of the week, someone who looks like the person in the sketch is murdered. When it happens a second time, the media dubs the killer \u201cThe Confession Artist.\u201d The latest sketch looks an awful lot like cop-turned-PI Crosbie Mitchell, who lives and works in a small Montana town. The FBI believes it\u2019s Mitchell, and if she\u2019s being honest, Mitchell believes that too. But what secret does she have to confess, and how devastating is what she\u2019s hiding?\u00a0 While other people post confessions on social media, worrying it might be them, Mitchell tries to track down the killer before she\u2019s forced to reveal all. Carbo brings Montana’s landscape and small-town dynamics to life in this gripping page-turner.<\/strong> The mystery of the sketches and whether or not it\u2019s Mitchell in the latest one keeps the intrigue going up to the very end. This is a book you will want to confess to reading.\u2014Jeff Ayers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
