Pretty Broken Things by Melissa Marr

A contemporary Bluebeard story set in the shadowy edges of New Orleans' French Quarter by the New York Times best-selling author Melissa Marr

Note: This Audible Original contains sensitive material and may be upsetting to some listeners.

After receiving a lead from an unlikely source, Juliana, the mortician tasked with the bodies of victims of the Carolina Creeper, the South's most notorious serial killer in decades, sets off to New Orleans in search of Theresa Morris, an heiress and presumably the Creeper's only surviving victim.

Theresa now goes by Tess and is a shadow of her former heiress self. She's also being pursued by famous novelist Michael, who sets his sights on Tess as the muse of his work-in-progress, oblivious to her former identity.

As Michael gets closer to Tess and begins to put the pieces of her traumatic past together, Juliana zeroes in on her whereabouts. They don't know it, but the three of them are on a collision course, hurtling straight into the Creeper's path.

Melissa Marr is the author of the Wicked Lovely trilogy, as well as the adult fantasy novels Graveminder and The Arrivals, which have all been New York Times bestsellers. Melissa can be found in Phoenix or online at www.melissamarrbooks.com when she is not traveling.
