Lay Your Body Down - A Novel of Suspense

From Amy Suiter Clarke--author of the "propulsive" ( New York Times Book Review ) Girl, 11--comes a brilliant new thriller. A young woman returns to her rural Minnesota hometown for the funeral of her ex-boyfriend--her first love--who died suspiciously, only to confront the ways a radical pastor''s warped evangelical beliefs have poisoned the whole town When Del Walker left her small hometown and its cult-like church, she vowed to never return. The man she loved left her to marry the local golden girl Eve, and their romance is now the focus of Eve''s viral blog espousing the pastor''s conservative philosophy about women and marriage. But six years later, Del''s ex Lars is suddenly killed, and she''s convinced it couldn''t have been an accident. Returning to her hometown, she discovers the now mega-church--and the insidious, patriarchal teachings of Pastor Rick Franklin--has only grown in size and influence. Eve was clearly discontent in her marriage, despite the carefully constructed "Noble Wife" positivity of her blog posts. Del is determined to cut through the lies and corruption to find out what really happened to Lars and bring his killer to justice--even if it means confronting the religious trauma she''s spent years trying to bury.
