The Murder of Marguerite

A Serial Killer Thriller

By: Rod Kackley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

An undercover detective infiltrates a Detroit nursing home to stop two nurse’s aides who are secretly killing residents. But when she falls for one of the killers, her assignment becomes a deadly battle between duty and desire.

In a quiet Texas town, the brutal murder of Marguerite shatters the calm and sets a deadly investigation in motion. Detective Robin Gallagher, a determined young cop fighting for respect on a male-dominated force, is assigned to the case. Her search for answers leads her to Detroit — and to the Oakwood Retirement Center, where residents are dying far too often and for reasons no one can explain.

At Oakwood, two newly hired nurse’s aides — Emily Anderson and Susan VanderMeen — have become inseparable. But beneath their bond lies something darker. Emily has crafted a chilling plan to kill residents one by one, and Susan, blinded by devotion, becomes her accomplice.

When an elderly resident raises suspicions, the Detroit Police Department sends in its newest detective — undercover.

Robin Gallagher enters Oakwood under a false identity, determined to expose the killers from the inside. But she never expects what happens next: she falls in love with Susan.

As the deaths mount and Emily grows wary, Robin must balance duty, deception, and a dangerous emotional entanglement. Can she stop the murders before she becomes the next target — or loses everything to the woman she was sent to expose?

The Murder of Marguerite is a gritty, emotionally charged blue-collar crime thriller about love, loyalty, and the darkness that hides in ordinary places.
