When her best friend is murdered the same way her brother was, who can she possibly trust?

A decade ago, Delaney Broward discovered her brother’s murdered body at the San Antonio art co-op he founded with friends. Her artist boyfriend, Hunter Nash, went to prison for the murder, despite his not-guilty plea.

This morning, Hunter walks out of prison a free man, having served his sentence.

This afternoon, Delaney finds her best friend dead, murdered in the same fashion as her brother.

Stay out of it or you’re next, the killer warns.

Hunter never stopped loving Delaney, though he can’t blame her for not forgiving her. He knows he’ll get his life back one day at a time, one step at a time. But he’s blindsided to realize he’s a murder suspect. Again.

When Hunter shows up on her doorstep, asking her to help him find the real killer, Delaney’s head says to run away, yet her heart tells her there’s more to his story than what came out in the trial. An uneasy truce leads to their probe into a dark past that shatters Delaney’s image of her brother. She can’t stop and neither can Hunter—which lands them both in the crosshairs of a murderer growing more desperate by the day (hour?).

In this gripping romantic suspense, Kelly Irvin plumbs the complexity of broken trust in the people we love—and in God—and whether either can be mended.

PRAISE FOR TRUST ME:

“Irvin follows the characters through twists and turns, writing through the lens of faith and broken faith, while illuminating a bridge across shattered relationships to second chances. This one’s an emotional roller-coaster.” — Julie Gwinn of the Seymour Agency in Publishers Weekly Review

“Trust Me is an apt title for Irvin’s new suspense novel. Kelly Irvin is a master at spinning a complex story web with surprising twists and relatable characters. Highly recommended!” —Colleen Coble, USA TODAY bestselling author of A Stranger’s Game and the Pelican Harbor series

“I found I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough in Kelly Irvin’s latest novel, Trust Me. I promised myself just one more page and I’d stop reading for the night…just one more…just one more. At times I could barely breathe. What a fabulous story! I loved it!”

–Carrie Stuart Parks, award-winning author of the Gwen Marcey series

Trust Me by Kelly Irvin is a book worthy of it’s title.  It begins with Hunter Nash, a man who has lost 10 years of his life in jail for a crime he says he didn’t commit.  Hunter’s best friend Corey is horribly murdered and Hunter is convicted of the crime.  Now, 10 years later, Hunter is released from jail and another close friend, Ellie, ends up dead in the same way as the first brutal murder 10 years earlier. 

The story follows Hunter and his ex-girlfriend Delaney (who is also Corey’s sister and Elie’s best friend) as they encounter struggles with their faith, tests of will, and ultimately find who murdered their loved ones.  This novel is a slow burn with a large undercurrent of suspense that ultimately draws the reader in and teaches you about faith.  Other major themes include forgiveness and trust in yourself and others.  The author paints vivid pictures with her descriptions of the character’s experiences, it feels like you are witnessing everything first hand! 

This is a brand-new release from author Kelly Irvin and it is a masterful work of drama, suspense, and forgiveness.  Clocking in at around 350 pages, this would be a fairly quick read and is perfect for fans of Christian fiction, Texas authors, and romantic suspense!  This book is realistic and thrilling from cover to cover!

I would highly recommend this book to all who love fiction and books set in Texas!  Thank you to the author for writing and sharing this wonderful book and to LSBBT for having me along on tour!
