If You Like Diane Fanning Books, You’ll Love…

Bitter Remains: A Custody Battle, A Gruesome Crime, and the Mother Who Paid the Ultimate Price is the true story of Laura Jean Ackerson of Kinston, North Carolina. She went to pick up her two sons, but was then not seen again for two weeks – when the police found her body on the shores of Oyster Creek in Teas. Her ex, Grant Hayes, and his new wife were questioned and both pointed the finger at the other in the crime. Fanning digs into this haunting true story and how it all came to an end.

Fanning is also the author of Death on the River: A Fiancee’s Dark Secrets and a Kayak Trip Turned Deadly. A couple goes kayaking down the Hudson River, but things end in tragedy when Angelika calls 911 to report that her fiancé, Vincent, had fallen into the water. It is originally ruled an accident, but Angelika’s strange behavior makes authorities suspicious. After questioning, she will make some strange and shocking admissions, but did she kill him? The answer will decide a $250,000 life insurance policy.
