About the Book
On Halloween night in 1975, fifteen-year-old Josie Anne Wills never came home. Her murder in the wealthy enclave of Cheviot Hills, Connecticut, shattered a family, divided a community, and sparked decades of suspicion. For nearly fifty years, rumors swirled around the powerful Mook family next door, where secrets, lies, and alibis blurred the line between truth and cover-up.
Told through the lens of a journalist drawn deep into the case, Julia’s Angels retraces the night that changed everything—through trials and overturned convictions, whispered confessions, and families unwilling to let go. Part crime saga, part meditation on memory and justice, this gripping novel asks whether the truth can ever survive half a century of silence, influence, and betrayal. For Julia Wills, Josie’s mother, and for all who loved her, the question remains: will justice ever come—or will the past remain forever unfinished?
