When a cold, naked body is discovered by a couple on a jog through the lush woodlands of Pine Valley, California, new recruit Detective Katie Scott is stunned to discover the victim is Amanda Payton – a much-loved local nurse and the woman at the heart of an unsolved case she’s been investigating whilst getting a grip on her crippling PTSD.
Weeks earlier, Amanda had run, battered and bruised, out into the headlights of a passing patrol car. She claimed to have just escaped a kidnapping, but with no strong evidence, the case went cold. The Pine Valley police made a fatal mistake…
Katie is certain the marks on Amanda’s wrists complete a pattern of women being taken, held captive and then showing up dead in remote locations around Pine Valley – and she won’t let someone die on her watch again.
But then a beautiful office worker with a link to the hospital where Amanda worked goes missing. With only days before the next body is due to show up, can Katie make amends for her past by saving this innocent life?
Totally gripping crime fiction for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh. Nothing will prepare you for this nail-biting roller-coaster ride…
Readers adore Jennifer Chase!

Can you tell us what your new book is about?
Her Last Whisper revolves
around when a cold, naked body is discovered by a couple on a jog through the
lush woodlands of Pine Valley,
California, new recruit and ex-army veteran Detective Katie Scott
is stunned to discover the victim is Amanda Payton – a much-loved local nurse
and the woman at the heart of an unsolved case she’s been investigating while
getting a grip on her crippling PTSD. The
victim was the woman Katie had spoken with only yesterday, the woman she had
promised to protect… the case takes Katie and her K9 partner on a twisty
investigation to find a crafty killer.
Can you tell us a little about your main and supporting
characters?
Detective Katie Scott returns to her hometown from two tours
in the army as a military K9 team with Cisco, her eighty pound black German
shepherd. She had previously been a patrol police officer, but wasn’t sure what
she wanted to do now. She needed time to settle back into regular life again,
but she finds herself involved in a missing person’s case that turned into a
homicide. Her uncle is the local sheriff and decides to promote her to head up
the cold case unit for the Pine Valley Sheriff’s Department.
Deputy Sean McGaven is a deputy sheriff that has been
assigned to work with Katie. He’s adept at finding out information on the
computer about anyone. He’s the one that has Katie’s back. Secretly he wants to
become a K9 unit for the department.
Sheriff Wayne Scott is Katie’s uncle and he had watched out
for her ever since her parents were killed in a car accident. He is a
well-loved sheriff and has background of solving many of the cases over the
years.
Chad Ferguson is the childhood friend and love interest for
Katie. He is one of the local firefighters and has never fallen for anyone
else. But, he wonders how long he will wait for her as she gets things straight
in her life.
Your book is set in the California Mountains. Can you tell us why you chose this location
in particular?
I love this type of setting because it allows for so much
intrigue and investigative techniques for crime scenes… and the unknown in a
rural location.
How long did it take you to write your book?
It took about two months to write the first draft for Her
Last Whisper. Then it went
through various levels of editing with the publisher, which takes another four
to six weeks.
What has been the most pivotal point of your writing life?
I love writing stories. I love creating characters,
including the bad guys of course. I love creating unusual crime scenes and
investigations. The most pivotal points of my writing life is winning writing
awards and hearing from readers and fans.
What kind of advice would you give other crime fiction
authors?
There’s always an abundance of advice for writers out there,
but I like to stick to the basics. If you truly love writing and have the
fortitude to go the distance through re-writes… then write, write, and keep on
writing. Always hone your craft and don’t worry about the little stuff like bad
reviews and people who aren’t supportive. Stay true to your writing—write what
you want not what someone thinks you should write J
