Dr. Rowan DuPont and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department are hunting a serial killer. All the victims have one thing in common–they could be Rowan’s twin, except her twin sister is dead. Rowan grew up in a funeral home, surrounded by death, so her keen insights into homicide cases seldom fall short of the mark. Though growing up as the undertaker’s daughter made her acutely aware of … aware of life and all its frailties, she is only human. Will her one mistake in this shocking case be her last one?

Thank you Debra Webb for your ARC of The Undertaker’s Daughter that I read and reviewed.
This is the novella that is the introduction to Debra Webb’s new series and man does it introduce it in a way that is going to leave an impression with the readers. This short novel is packed is action and suspense that leaves the reader begging for the next book to come out.
I loved the characters in this book and the story was excellent. With the combination of those factors and the serial killer Webb has in this series she has another hit on her hands that her fans are going to be addicted too and they are going to love Rowan and Billy as couple/noncouple duo.
I am giving The Undertaker’s Daughter five out of five stars.
Loved this pre story and can’t wait for book one! Dr. Rowan DuPont is helping detectives find a killer of women in the area. Eerily all three of the victims look like Rowan. So many similarities to Rowan has her searching her past for answers. Why do women keep being killed because of her? She must solve this and fast while staying alive herself. She knows eventually the killer will come for her.
This novella by the master of suspense Debra Webb does not disappoint! Rowan is a psychiatrist in Nashville, working with the Special Crimes Unit, when the task force is challenged by a serial killer who is leaving his victims throughout the city, displayed for all to see. Rowan and Detective April Jones work hard to figure out who the killer is and stop him before he kills more. Rowan is particularly involved in these murders because they seem to be connected to her own life. The action is fast-paced, the characters are believable and the villain is one that the reader won’t see coming. This is a great introduction to a new series! I loved the character of Rowan who is so wounded by her past but so strong that she can keep on going. Readers of mystery and suspense will thoroughly enjoy this prequel to Webb’s new series!
