Jeff wasn't the same man Kit had married, but was he capable of murder?

A year after losing his job as a local radio host, Jeff stubbornly clings to the hope of being re-hired and refuses to take any other job. But Kit can’t support the family alone on what she makes as a physical therapist. And their bank account is streaking toward the danger zone, much like her respect for Jeff. Desperate, Kit demands that he get a job or move out.

Then gunshots blast across the airwaves of Jeff’s former show. And in the dead air that follows, Kit recognizes the voice in his troubling last words.

Torn between believing the overwhelming evidence against Jeff or trusting the character of the man she thought she knew, Kit’s choice puts her at odds with their son, Bryce. One of them has to be wrong…which means the killer might still be out there.

Mary L. Hamilton began her novel-writing career with a series of novels for young teens and tweens. The Rustic Knoll Bible Camp series is set at a Christian youth camp, much like the camp where she grew up in southern Wisconsin. More recently, she has turned to writing adult mystery/suspense. She released her first mystery, Pendant, under the name M L Hamilton, but has since gone back to using her full name.

Mary initially wrote inspirational articles and a few devotional pieces. She also published a Christmas play titled, "Homespun Angel," before turning to novels.

When not writing, Mary enjoys knitting, spending time with her family, and a little amateur photography. You can see some of her work on Instagram where her handle is @maryhamiltonbooks.

She and her husband make their home in Texas.

Fast paced and kept my attention all the way through!
I love a good mystery that keeps me engaged to find out whodunnit and Dead Air delivered. There were also good lessons to learn about family relationships in difficult situations. Passed it along to my husband who is reading it now!My only disappointment was that several pages came out of the binding as I read the book.

I loved this book! The author included wonderful Christian messages at just the right times, and her characters captured my heart. I found myself identifying with all of them and relating to their flaws. I can't wait to read more books from this stellar author!

5.0 out of 5 stars A believable story and well-crafted mystery

I enjoyed losing track of time and being fully absorbed in this book.

Dead Air is more than a “who-done-it” murder mystery. Hamilton gives the characters depth and unfolds a family’s struggles with grief. After a year of being the sole bread winner, Kit demands her unemployed husband, Jeff, stop waiting for the dream job he expects to get. Her ultimatum is that Jeff must settle for a different job or move out. However, life spins out of control for Kit and her two teens when he is found dead. Not only must they navigate their loss, but they face hard consequences when Jeff accused of murder. It’s a believable story and well-crafted mystery. - Gretchen Carlson

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story!

I really enjoyed this story; I read the entire book on a rainy afternoon. The author sets up an open and shut case so I found myself considering different scenarios that could change who the bad guy was, as I didn't want it to be the husband. I also liked how realistic the main character is; Husband lost his job and becomes the stay at home dad who is great at it, but she is annoyed that he isn't ready to take any job that comes along. Why sit at home when Starbucks would pay $15 an hour? She has beliefs that she finds herself questioning and maybe even regretting as her family's sense of safety is stolen and she has to reconsider what is important. By the end, I had figured out some of the puzzle but still had many pieces missing which made sense as the author filled them in. I went down one star due to a response from the school community that I couldn't imagine happening, but that could say more about the quality of communities I engage in.

A riveting mystery that sweeps the reader up in a roller coaster of emotions along with Kit Spires. Kit questions if it is possible to love and hate her deceased husband at the same time? Evidence indicates Jeff, her husband, killed two people in cold blood and seriously injured one more before turning the gun on himself. She and her children wrestle with disbelief, grief, anger, shame, and guilt. To make matters worse, Kit learns Jeff withdrew the majority of their savings not long before the shooting. The family faces the judging eyes of those around them while trying to come to grips with the loss of their husband/father and the heinous crime everyone believes he committed. The realistic characters pull at my heart strings. Hang on to your seats and read the story to find out how it ends.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginning - Poor Ending
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023

I liked the story and it was well written. About 3/4 ways through the book, I figured out the killer. I then became a bit frustrated that clues weren't coming together for the detective or the main character. The climax leading up to capturing the killer was disappointing & a bit ridiculous regarding waiting to call 911 - dumb decisions made by the characters didn't appear realistic and took some of the enjoyment out of the ending. I don't recommend this book because of the let down at the end.

This is a page turner! Christian themes are woven into the mystery, but not at all in a preachy way. The story shares realistic character imperfections that we all carry, which makes the characters relatable.I was hoping that the private school in the beginning would make an appearance at the end of the book, but that didn’t make the book any less enjoyable. Highly recommend Dead Air!
