Jillian Thorne built her career making the unreal feel real.
On Hollywood soundstages, she stages murder, kidnapping, and violent crime with chilling authenticity—turning fiction into gripping entertainment.
But nothing she’s created compares to the truth waiting in Blue Gil.
Nearly six years after escaping her small hometown, Jillian is drawn back by the suspicious death of the town’s beloved high school football coach. What first appears to be a tragic loss quickly unravels into something far more sinister—a dark mystery no one is willing to confront.

Review of Rising Waters:
Rising Waters by Aleatha RomigMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rising Waters, the second book in the Crime Daily Podcast series by Aleatha Romig, had me hooked from the first page to the last. This dark, twisty psychological thriller kept me guessing every step of the way. While it's the second book in the series, Rising Waters can absolutely be read as a standalone.
Jill left her hometown six years ago, determined to put a scandalous chapter of her life behind her. But when a beloved high school football coach dies under suspicious circumstances, she's pulled back into a small town filled with deadly secrets. As the investigation unfolds, long-buried truths begin to surface, and it quickly becomes clear that almost everyone is hiding something.
Aleatha Romig expertly weaves a wicked web of murder, lies, and deception into a twisty, high-stakes mystery that kept me guessing. The ending was perfection. While many of the questions are answered, the story closes with a pseudo-cliffhanger that left me wanting more. What a banger! I can’t wait to read the next book in this addictive series.
