With a Kiss We Die: A Novel
Format: Paperback
I’m Ryanna Raines. And welcome to “The Raines Report.”
Ryanna Raines is the host of a popular truecrime podcast. Her specialty is investigative journalism, her style is truthseeking moxie, and with millions of listeners along for the ride, her star is rising. But when an intriguing message is left on her tipline, the reporter is pulled into the most challenging case of her career.
The mangled bodies of a husband and wife have been discovered in their multimilliondollar estate in Southern California. The prime suspects are their twentytwoyearold son and his girlfriend, two college theater students who are now facing arrest and indictment. In a surprising move, they only want to speak with Ryanna, offering exclusive interviews in exchange for her help getting their side of the story told.
Instead of a badge or a weapon, Ryanna carries her voice recorder onto the battlefield of the highprofile murder investigation. Through a series of interviews, Ryanna examines her subjects from multiple angles and diverse points of view, breaking past the walls of “he said, she said” to pierce at a dark and horrible truth.
Written in the style of a truecrime podcast, With a Kiss We Die is a heartracing mystery and thoughtprovoking tale about love and secrets that unfolds episode by episode as it hurtles towards an explosive conclusion. L. R. Dorn has crafted a suspenseful examination of our cultural obsession with true crime, the complicated moral obligations between journalists and their subjects, and the oftendeadly line between performance and deceit.
