The Sunday Killer: The Case Files of Heather Moody

Jen Lowry

A serial killer is roaming the streets of Crystal Falls.


Heather Moody has spent seven years on the Crystal Falls Police Department in a quaint mountain town in North Carolina. She never expected to be made lead detective, tasked to investigate cold case murders that rocked their picturesque small town. Even though she took down the notorious serial killer, Marcus Pew, nothing could ever prepare her for what was about to come. When she and her team goes to review one of the cold cases where an earlier murder took place, they find a message left for them from the Book of Isaiah. The blood on the oaks propels the case in a new direction, taking Heather down a dark path to a powerful and fanatical killer out for sacrifice and blood. She starts to question everything and wonders who she can trust in a town with twisted secrets. Will Heather be able to piece together the clues or was it luck that found her on her last case? Will she be able to stop The Sunday Killer from striking again?


For fans of Lisa Regan and Meg Gardiner, this new crime thriller novel with a female Christian detective will take you to dark places where you'll be praying for the light.

Praise for this book

"When Detective Heather Moody is assigned to a cold case unit which is focused on a spate of murders of teenage girls in her town of Crystal Falls, she gets way more than she bargained for. Although the cases have languished, it doesn't take Heather long to start making strides. Pretty soon Heather and her team find themselves in the crosshairs of a shadowy killer--or is there more than one? Solving the cases will cost the team greatly, but Heather is determined to put a stop to the murders. THE SUNDAY KILLER is an intelligent, fast-moving, well-crafted serial killer thriller that will keep you turning pages. It's a fantastic, intriguing mystery with heart and a cast of characters you'll be fully invested in. You'll root hard for the good guys and be revolted and haunted by the bad guys. Detective Heather Moody is relatable and just the right blend of tough and vulnerable. Lowry puts you right into the action. You'll feel like you're right beside Heather the entire book and the excitement is nonstop!" - Lisa Regan, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Crime Fiction Author

"Jen Lowry has crafted a riveting page-turner. The story is told from the perspective of a female Christian detective, Heather Moody. I love how the author highlights the diverse personalities of the characters, and how Heather could walk her faith without preaching. This made her authentic and relatable. I read THE SUNDAY KILLER in two days. It's an adrenaline-raising suspense novel that will keep you on the edge until you finish the story." - Tish Bouvier, Poet and Cozy Mystery Author

"The perfect combination of cozy and creepy! With an adorable dash of romance. This book really has it all. I especially loved the wholesome Christian main character, and how her strong beliefs influenced her everyday actions-and how she approaches her job as a detective. I love seeing good, well-written, and exciting Christian fiction! We need more of this!" - Polly Harris, Swipe Right for Murder


"THE SUNDAY KILLER is a slow burn that grows into a roaring fire as the story develops! Jen Lowry excels in her characterization of our senior detective protagonist Heather Moody, to the point where the case of learning her backstory and character motivation is arguably just as compelling as catching the serial killer rampaging through Crystal Falls. Lowry also has a unique way of toeing the line well of writing a compelling, edgy crime story and firmly maintaining a clean reading experience. The book contains little to no profanity, and the depths of human depravity are explored in full but it's presented in even tamer of a way than any of the horror-adjacent visuals in Stranger Things. Sunday Killer is a masterclass in toeing the line between edgy and clean fiction. This book comes highly recommended for a reader wishing to find the rare book at the intersection of crime fiction and Christian values. Can't wait to see what Heather Moody (and by extension, Jen Lowry) does next! - Peter Fenton, Author of Abandon All Hope
