Welcome to Martha Henley
I’m an author who enjoys writing about not-so-happily ever afters. I used to write romance, but became a thriller author because I strived for books with more realism. Perfect men don’t exist, but serial killers sure do.
Books
The Crew Series
Each psychological thriller follows the case of a different serial killer. The thread linking them together is the Crew. They are a group of murder enthusiasts, retired agents, and one or two reformed or want-to-be reformed serial killers.
In this fictional donut shop in the capital city of Texas, the Crew asks no questions of each other. They just work together to help desperate victims stop the murderers who have crossed their paths.
Don’t Kill For Me, The Crew, Book One, a serial killer psychological thriller.
If a serial killer is murdering your enemies, do you stop him?
Eileen Somers is flattered by a series of anonymous letters delivered to her floral boutique. The author rambles on about the past, mentioning places and things that feel familiar to her. She’s intrigued and wants to meet the secret admirer. Then he confesses to murder.
The vigilante Rest in Peace Killer has chosen Eileen as his latest victim. The loss of his first target, her married lover, makes Eileen’s life complicated. She struggles, hiding her grief, unsure if he really was murdered for her benefit. In the next confession, signed RIP, the killer makes it clear he will continue to eliminate her adversaries to give her peace of mind. Eileen sheds no tears over his second victim, but RIP’s attention is undesired.
Help is sought out and found in an unlikely location, a donut shop with an unusual weekly gathering. The crew, a group of murder enthusiasts which may or may not include a couple retired serial killers is clued into Eileen’s situation. None of them expected Rest in Peace to resurface. The crew knows more about the peace seeking killer than they let on. RIP’s clues, left in the secret admirer notes are there to decipher, if someone from the crew would read them.
Identifying a serial killer who walks among the ordinary shoppers in the mall seems impossible, but Eileen is desperate to stop his mission. Innocent or not, when he’s finished killing for her, Eileen will be his last victim.

Live Your Life, Die Your Death Series
A Series of Suspicious Tales and Psychological Shorts
The stories are not for the faint hearted.
They’re not full of blood and gore either.
They’re creepy in their own way.
Each one has a twist in the tale that hopefully will make you go, didn’t see that coming or will give you the chill right before you go to bed. They will make you think twice about the person sitting across from you on the train and question the stranger in the elevator. No one is who they are on the outside and you can’t know who they are on the inside, until it’s too late.
