Cookstown, New Jersey, USA – WEBWIRE – Wednesday, November 12, 2025

In “Amanda: Secrets in the neighborhood,” author Judy Beezley weaves a suspenseful tale of mystery and resilience. With a 60-year career in accounting and decades as a business owner, Beezley draws from her own life of perseverance and strong family ties to deliver a story filled with intrigue, danger, and determination.

In the novel, Amanda returns to her hometown of Edgartown after the sudden loss of her parents. A successful lawyer, she seeks to rebuild her life but quickly uncovers a web of dark secrets within her close-knit community. A simple act of checking on a neighbor’s light leads her into a perilous trail of home invasions, murder, and theft, culminating in a gripping hostage situation and explosive shoot-out that will leave readers breathless.

Beezley’s inspiration for writing stems from a lifetime of overcoming challenges, from raising a child as a teenage mother to building a blended family and a successful career. She and her husband, Bob, have shared 39 years together, and today they enjoy the beauty of their Pacific Northwest home, surrounded by their four sons, eight grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. Her life story reflects the same determination and strength that fuel Amanda’s journey in the novel.

“Amanda: Secrets in the Neighborhood” takes readers on a journey through the shadows of a seemingly quiet town, where long-buried secrets threaten to unravel lives. An engaging and suspenseful read, the book is now available for purchase on Amazon and other major online retailers.
