Book Description
The City of Sin needs cleaning up, and there's only one woman truly qualified for the job. Enter a heroine, who on the surface appears beautiful, confident, and an unusually overqualified staff member of the Shangri La Casino. But it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to Roxy than meets the eye. As she navigates the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas, she is forced to confront more than just mobsters, billionaires, and prostitutes; she must also confront her painful past. With the help of some of the other main members of the "Shangri La's" staff, (who, it seems, have worked together before now) and the casino's mysterious owner, (who has more than just a professional interest in his lovely employee) Roxy has a chance to help redeem the city she lives in and oddly loves. But what will it cost her, and can she do the same for her own troubled life? A first time novel by Ohio resident Jess Phillips. Book 1 in a series.

Book Description
Seven women, inextricably linked by one man, must figure out which of them killed him in order to protect one another in this electrifying debut thriller. New Year’s Eve, 1999. Seven women are gathered in a hotel room at midnight; a man's head sits in the center of the floor. They all had a motive to kill Jamie Spellman. They all swear they didn't. But in order to protect one another, they have to find out who did. The ex, who drowns her darkest secret in a hip flask as the woman she loves drifts further away. The wife, living out her fairytale marriage in a house tucked into woods so thick no one can hear a scream. The widow, praying to a past she no longer knows whether she can trust. The teenager, whose wide-eyed crush has trapped her in an unrecognizable future. The mother figure, battling nature versus nurture under the weight of her own guilt. The friend, forced to choose sides over and over, until she learns the price of choosing wrong. And the journalist, who brought them all together—but underestimated how far one of them would go to keep believing the story they’d been told. Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman’s secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer. Marking the debut of an extraordinary new talent, Rose Wilding's Speak of the Devil explores the roles into which women are cast in the lives of terrible men...and the fallout when they refuse to play pretend for one moment longer.

It was 1984, October 21, ten days before Halloween. Salem, Massachusetts, would never be the same. One young girl from Salem High School took it upon herself to solve as terrifying a crime as she would ever face. What she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. The horror began on the night of October 20. The first body was found next to an old abandoned church. The body was of a young woman. She had been beheaded, probably from being accused of witchcraft, and next to the decomposing body lay a black rose. But what did it mean? Two more young girls vanished the next night. Their bodies were also found next to old abandoned churches. They were also beheaded, and a black rose was left beside each body. There was a serial killer at work.
