About In still waters
Book Review: “In Still Waters masterfully blends small-town secrets with the chilling intensity of a thriller, crafting a page-turner that will captivate mystery enthusiasts. Set in the quiet town of Austin, Minnesota, the novel delves into a horrific series of murders that baffle local authorities and strike fear into the community. The story gains depth with the revelation that three victims share a haunting past tied to a high school incident—one that scarred not just a boy’s face but perhaps the very heart of the town. As detectives chase a masked, elusive killer, readers are plunged into a labyrinthine plot linking personal vendettas and shadowy arms dealers.” —NewInBooks.com

Author Bio:
The author says:
“This book is not just a thriller – it is something more that makes us think about the actions and essence of the person himself! that one is truly not born a murderer, but one who becomes one.”
She continues 'In my youth, I wrote scripts for school plays, and my literature teacher said that I had immense talent and should write my own book. To be honest, I took it as a joke and nothing more. However, in 2023, when my husband and I watched films (I won’t reveal the titles; I want readers to piece together this puzzle over time), I can only say that Jonathan Rhys Meyers starred in one of the films, while Jake Gyllenhaal starred in the other. That’s why I dedicated my book “In Still Waters” to them! Thanks to Jake, my character Toby Clark was born, and thanks to Jonathan, Milosh Dobrev came to life.'
