Author L.L. McCall Releases Final Book in the Suspenseful 'Amiss' Trilogy

Carla and Paul’s rebuilt life is set in their Cold Spring Harbor home, where the story opens amid autumn and preparations for a new baby.
A doctor’s visit—not simply Carla’s suspicion—triggers the paternity concern: the due date does not align with her timeline.
Hazel is described as the woman who sheltered Paul when he was lost, and her repeated calls threaten to damage his career as well as strain him emotionally.
The publisher frames the novel as an exploration of the lengths people go to protect loved ones and the consequences of a marriage built on secrets.
L.L. McCall's long-awaited final novel, Amiss³, has arrived via Author's Tranquility Press. The third book in the suspense trilogy picks up with Carla and Paul at their Cold Spring Harbor home, where autumn preparations for a new baby mask a dangerous secret: a doctor's visit reveals the due date doesn't match Carla's timeline, raising the specter that her husband's twin brother Peter may be the father Author's Tranquility Press.
Threats arrive from multiple angles. Hazel, a woman who once sheltered Paul, claims she carries his unborn child and won't stop calling—jeopardizing his career and marriage. Meanwhile, a stalker from Carla's past walks free from prison. KDH News reports the trilogy ultimately reveals that secrets in the nursery pose the greatest threat to everything Carla and Paul have rebuilt.
The catalyst for Amiss³'s domestic chaos is clinical, not emotional. A routine doctor's visit forces Carla to confront the impossible: the baby's due date doesn't match when she and Paul conceived. WBOC notes the discovery sends shockwaves through their seemingly stable marriage, forcing both to question what they thought they knew about each other and their future together.
Paul finds himself caught between competing claims on his paternity and loyalty. Hazel, described as someone who sheltered Paul during a vulnerable period, won't relent in her assertion that he fathered her baby. My Eagle Country reports her repeated calls pose a dual threat: they risk exposing Paul's past and fracturing his marriage at its most fragile moment, even as they endanger his professional standing.
A third complication emerges as a stalker from Carla's history exits prison and re-enters her world. KOTA Radio notes Peter's undisclosed medical diagnosis adds yet another layer of peril to an already fractured household. The convergence of these threats transforms what should be a joyful pregnancy into a crucible where every relationship tested.
Author's Tranquility Press frames Amiss³ as a meditation on the lengths people will travel to shield loved ones—and the price of marriages built on buried truths. The trilogy concludes not with clear answers but with a reckoning: in a house built on secrets, no foundation can hold when autumn brings an unexpected child into the darkness.
