the
multilayered
murder
mystery
series.
Spanning

is
based
on
The
New
York
Times-bestselling
book
by

Wilkerson
and
centers
around
“a
runaway
bride
named

Covey
who

In

and
rocks
the

Benny,
from
the
grave.
Eleanor
leaves
her
offspring
a
jumpdrive
with
audio
recordings
featuring
her
real
origin
story,
one
she
kept
secret.
Throughout
the
series,
she
unravels
her

by
