We Were Kings
We Were Kings | Court Stevens
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
A twenty-year-old crime, an accelerated death penalty, and an elitist family cover-up: Nyla races against the death row clock to save a woman the world is rooting for . . . and against. Which side will you choose? Twenty years ago, eighteen-year-old Francis Quick was convicted of murdering her best friend, Cora King, and sentenced to death. Now the highly debated Accelerated Death Penalty Act has passed giving Frankie thirty final days to live. Surprising everyone, one of the King family members sets out to challenge the woefully inadequate evidence and potential innocence of Frankie Quick. The at-first reluctant but soon-fiery Nyla and her unexpected ally—handsome country island boy Sam Stack—bring Frankie’s case to the international stage through her YouTube channel, Death Daze. They step into fame and a hometown battle that someone’s still willing to kill over. But who? The senator? The philanthropist? The pawn shop owner? Nyla’s own mother? Best advice: Don’t go to family dinner at the Kings’ estate. More people will leave in body bags than on their own two feet. And as for Frankie Quick, she’s a gem . . . even if she’s guilty.

Can you say "Plot Twist" 5x really fast? That is what you'll get in this complicated mystery where family secrets and money are powerful motives. The characters are oddly quirky...mysteries within themselves & then there is the 20 year old murder for which an innocent woman's life hangs in the balance and time is running out. With references to Nancy Drew, it felt very much like a modern Nancy tale.

WOW! This book was incredible!
The King Family could best be described as the Kennedy's of Kentucky. Politics, scandal, and lies combine to create one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time. The twists and turns in this book will keep you guessing! I could NOT but this book down! Run don‘t walk to this one when it‘s published on 2/1/22!

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson fiction for such a great read!
