Nashville: Music & Murder follows Maci Willis, a teenager who fled the poverty and sexual abuse of her Louisiana childhood with the hope of finding a new life as a Nashville recording star or greasy spoon waitress.  Despite the odds, the former fate unfolded, and Maci recorded hit songs for two decades while indulging a pampered lifestyle void of risks and regrets. But all of that changed during one fateful performance. While Maci sang a fourth encore to a crowd of 18,000, the music was shattered by a gunshot fired by an obsessed fan.  She emerged triumphant from the attempt on her life—only to face another attempt shortly afterwards.  Was it a coincidence?  Or was something more sinister at work?

Celeb Secrets Country had the chance to speak with Carter at the release party, asking him what his favorite aspect of the book was. He responded by saying “the ending, it will shock everyone! It is unexpected and a huge shock.”

After hearing that and having Carter tell us about the first chapter, we had to read the book for ourselves. Nashville: Music & Murder is a thrilling novel that you cannot put down!
