Robert Sells' An Affair With Murder is a gripping tale that follows Rebecca, a successful author plagued by the trauma of her best friend’s murder after their prom night. Twelve years after fleeing her hometown and struggling with agoraphobia, Rebecca's therapist urges her to return for closure. Upon her arrival, Rebecca is horrified to discover that another gruesome murder, eerily similar to the one from her past, has occurred. The investigation is being led by three former friends, who were also her high school love interests. As Rebecca delves into the case, she finds a note from the original homicide suggesting that one of the three investigators is the killer. Unsure of whom to trust, Rebecca resolves to uncover the truth herself, a decision that puts her directly in the murderer’s crosshairs.
