The Devil Makes the Rules Is My Latest Novel

I am excited to announce that my sister, Judi Thompson, and I have just published our fifth novel. We combined our two last names into the pen name, Tess Thompson, and we have been having an amazing adventure writing mystery and suspense novels together. Click here to learn more about Judi and me.

Our latest novel, The Devil Makes the Rules, is the third book in the Chance O'Brien Mystery Series that began in When an Angel Whispers. 

In this new book, Brett Adams has a secret. A secret that destroyed his marriage and carved the path he would take in life. Now Brett is missing, and his ex-wife Macy and her detective husband Chance O’Brien must find him.

They travel to Key West, Florida, and El Paso, Texas, and discover a trail of blood and lies that shock Macy to the core. Now she realizes she was married to a stranger. But it isn’t just Brett’s life in peril; an innocent young woman and her mother are also missing. Chance and Macy must unravel Brett’s deception to save his life and the life of the woman he loves. 

We had fun writing this one. Judi and I were born in El Paso, Texas, and I still live there. The places in the book are real, even though the events are entirely fiction. Jerry and I spent some fun, lazy days in the Bahamas and in Key West, Florida. It was enjoyable to revive those memories in this book.

Although this book works as a stand-alone story, it is even more enjoyable if you have read the other two books in the series: When an Angel Whispers and Student Body. They are only $2.99, so you can read the whole series without blowing your summer reading budget.

I hope you will give one of my books a try. You will find all of them here.

Enjoy!
