A Complicated Goodbye

A sneak peek....

​​“I know you.”

“So what . . . everyone in this shitty little town knows me. I suppose you believe the stories too.”

“I said I knew you. I didn’t say I believed the stories.”

While visiting the cemetery on the third anniversary of her son Indie’s death, Rebecca Adams encounters an elderly woman who says she recognizes her and wants to help her. Who is she? What is her connection to Rebecca? And does she really want to help the woman known as the Campbell River Baby Killer, or is she just out for gossip like the rest of the small-town residents? 

As if life isn’t hard enough for Rebecca after losing her child and having people think she killed him, she is devastated to discover that her husband and best friend are having an affair. As deadly secrets begin to come to light, she comes to the realization that Jake and Olivia deserve each other, and she’s better off without them in her life. Now Rebecca has to find the strength to turn the tables on the two people she used to love most, and reclaim her life . . . before it’s too late.

Amazon Reviews:
  • An entertaining review:
An entertaining read with a cliff hanger ending! Looking forward to the next instalment to find out how the main character makes out!

  • Great read!
One of those books you can’t put down!

  • I couldn't put this book down!
What a fantastic read this was! Ms Carmichael certainly knows how to develop each character and spin a fascinating tale! I could not put this book down as I became very invested in each character’s back-story and had to know what would transpire for each of them. I loved that she set the story in the quaint Vancouver Island town of Campbell River. In my mind that setting was a real bonus! Many plot twists kept it intriguing and piqued my interest right to the end. I highly recommend this read. You won’t be disappointed!

  • A fantastic read:
I thoroughly enjoyed the novel 'A Complicated Goodbye' by new author Laurie Carmichael. The main character Rebecca Adams not only survives but thrives as she faces her emotional journey through loss, betrayal and domestic violence. The author does an excellent job of making you hate the antagonist- Olivia Proctor. Hang on tight as the book takes many twists and turns.

  • A great read for a cold winter day:
A complicated goodbye is a superbly written mystery. This book kept me interested right to the end. The characters are very well developed.
