LEFT for DEADWhile she deals with her grief and seeks that person, Trish assumes operation of Howard’s floundering firm. Inexperienced in business, she must learn quickly or lose the company. She faces multiple problems: insufficient funds, rampant theft, departing customers, restive and insubordinate employees. Missing keys and account discrepancies reveal tangled deception that suggests criminal activity implicating several employees.
A key employee dies of a combination of alcohol and sleeping pills. Was it accident? Suicide? Foul play? Is there a connection with Howard’s crash?
Hearing an intruder in her house, Trish cowers in the bathroom until circumstances force her to confront danger from a surprising source.

I finished the book last night around 11:00 p.m. It was wonderful--the best you have written and better than most I have read. Can't wait for another.

Intriguing mystery. I could not put it down til I finished it.

I just finished reading "Left for Dead" and it is wonderful. I hope you are bringing another new book out TOMORROW!!! Our church librarian is getting all three of your books for the library.

I read into the wee hours of morning. I didn't guess who "left him for dead" until you revealed it. ...look forward to more Trish LaClede novels.
Wilson OK
It was almost impossible to lay the book down for any reason. I live on a small ranch and I have plenty to do all the time, but your book kept me inside for a couple of days. When your next book is complete, please let me know and I will purchase several.

Reviews
Thriller
"Shipley's contemporary novel is told in a rich and descriptive voice with much wonderful dialogue.
"If you like Shipley's many timely coffee breaks, you'll love this thriller." Russ Long, The Oklahoman
Left for Dead is a real nailbiter
"Pick a cushy spot with a hot cup of coffee, tea or cocoa at your side and prepare to follow Trish LaClede through a thousand twists and turns as she battles to save her late husband's business and unravel the mysteries surrounding his death." Larry Russell, The Wynnewood Gazette
Puyallup WA
"What a good mystery! It’s been a long time since I’ve started a book that I couldn’t put down.
"Left for Dead centers on a close family suddenly plunged into tragedy when the head of the family, Howard LaClede, is killed in a car wreck that was accidental—or was it? His wife, Trish LaClede, vows to avenge her husband’s death, save her husband’s shipping company, and hold her family together while she grieves over the unexpected loss of her husband.
"I loved the story, and forgive the author for her well-crafted surprise ending…I thought I had it figured out!" Janelle Meraz Hooper, Author of A Three-Turtle Summer; As Brown As I Want, The Indianhead Diaries; and Free Pecan Pie and Other Chick Stories

I really enjoyed it and will be sending it along to a friend shortly!!

The Trish LaClede books were fabulous. I could hardly put them down.
Oklahoma City OK
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the two "Trish" books. They are full of family, strength and old fashioned virtues that don’t really go out of fashion – except with many authors and movie makers! I congratulate you on your fine characters – I wish Trish was my next door neighbor.
