info_outlineThis latest Necronomicast episode features a wide ranging discussion with one of the rising stars in contempory fiction today, Christine Carbo! Christine's newest book "The Confession Artist" was released this week to great acclaim!
A killer dubbed the Confession Artist is posting sketches of potential victims on social media. And paranoia spreads as strangers across the nation admit to their sins―fearing the consequences: You have six days to confess or die.
Then former cop and first-year PI Crosbie Mitchell sees a sketch that bears a striking resemblance to her. How can that be? She’s a nobody from Flathead Valley, Montana. Crosbie dismisses it as an unnerving coincidence. If not for one unmistakable detail that makes the threat hard to ignore. When the FBI is contacted, they are convinced that Crosbie is the next target. So is she.
Crosbie has six days left to fess up online to something plaguing her conscience. But even if she wanted to play the killer’s game, she has more than one secret. And if she ever dares to expose them for the world to see, the truth will destroy her. That’s exactly what the Confession Artist wants.
Christine is also the author of an ensemble series called the Glacier Mystery Series, and a psychological suspense stand-alone. Her books include The Wild Inside, Mortal Fall, The Weight of Night, A Sharp Solitude, and The Confession Artist. She is a recipient of the Women’s National Book Association Pinckley Prize, the Silver Falchion Award, the High Plains Book Award, and has been a finalist for the Barry Award. She has an MA in English/Linguistics and taught college-level courses for over a decade. She still teaches, in a vastly different realm, as a Pilates instructor. She lives in Montana where she finds inspiration from the wild beauty surrounding her.
Murder and intrigue abound in the seductive beauty of the wilderness of Montana!
