"The Petals Fall One by One" chronicles the rollercoaster of love, life, heartbreak, and new beginnings. It is based on the author, Armond Gray Jr's, authentic experiences and his loved ones' experiences. The poems take the reader through the hills and valleys of life, but in the end, the poems remind us all that we're human and to take it one day at a time. Additionally, the author's motivation stemmed from quarantine and the Covid-19 pandemic. His goal was to find a way to connect with others on a mental and emotional level without being physically together. More importantly, his motivation stems from his grandparents, great-grandparents, and uncles, who have transitioned onto the next realm. Each chapter in the book has a flower's name, and each flower has a different representation. The poems within each chapter relate to the literary understanding of that specific flower. The chapter "ROSES" represents romance and passionate love. The chapter "PROTEAS" represents change and transformation. The chapter "DAFFODILS" symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. The chapter "ORCHIDS" exemplifies themes of refinement and maturity, and lastly, the chapter "SWEET PEAS" represents appreciation and departure. The intentionality of Armond's creativity as he penned the expressive art of his poetry is meant to engulf you in the emotions that each poem evokes. An ageless and timeless masterpiece, "The Petals Fall One by One" is a special treat.

When two young boys find a woman's body in a quarry, Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham experience a definite feeling of déjà vu. Five years earlier, four women were found murdered in exactly the same way. Weirdly, the bodies had each been discovered wrapped in a shroud - so the killer was soon dubbed 'The Undertaker'. Following Jill's profiling the police tried to arrest a loner called Edward Marshall, but the man had fled and, after a high-speed car chase, lost control and went over a cliff. His car was found but his body never was. Now there are three possibilities: Marshall somehow survived that plunge into the sea; Marshall was innocent and the real killer is back - or a copycat is at work. It is up to Jill and Max to work out whether a terrible mistake was made by the police five years ago... or whether the original murderer had an apprentice waiting in the wings.
