Steph Linder dreams of being an Atlanta policewoman when she graduates high school in 1980’s Georgia. After her estranged mother is killed in Woody Pines, Steph is forced to stay with the grandmother and uncle she blames for her parent’s divorce in order to secretly investigate the murder. In the small insulated town, Steph encounters a hunky teenager with intimate ties to her mother, three disreputable men who worked with her at a seedy bar, and a friendly librarian with several motives to be the number one suspect.

With only six days to catch the killer before going back to Atlanta to finish her senior year, Steph deals with a lecherous uncle, residents who view her as an unwelcome stranger, and long distance problems with her boyfriend and two BFF’s. Will she find the killer, or fall victim to the same fate as her mother?

The Little Girl You Kiss Goodnight is a teen-noir crime mystery that features a plucky, but flawed heroine, a broken family unit that bands together after eight long years, and a tension-filled denouement that will stay with you long after you finish the novel.

5-STAR REVIEW — Rich characters and a great story make this a must have read. By P.S. Winn on July 12, 2015 Format: Paperback
” I really loved this book. John Tucker does an amazing job of weaving a tale. But more than just the telling of a great story the author’s characters are so believable. You feel like you know them and in this case you have to connect and love the character of Stephanie Linder. Steph’s mom has just died. Although Steph lives with her dad, who mostly raised her, she kept contact with her mom and know Steph is in Woody Pines in search of her mother’s killer. There is no lack of suspects and Steph is kept busy searching for the one responsible. The author did a wonderful job on a mystery thriller with a rich background that is a told by an amazing teller of tales.”
