Supernatural murder, small-town mystery, and steamy romance--New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard's Lakeside Murder Novels are page-turners with Widow's Bay vibes and crossover appeal!
One for sorrow...
Margaret Magpie Adams' life is nothing like her favorite romance novels: her ex was a jerk; college isn't in the cards; and she's still working a summer gig at the Chain Ferry in her hometown of Two Pines. Twenty years ago, a cult classic was filmed here, so locals rely on a churn of customers through the Two For Joy bus tour.
When gruesome vandalism strikes multiple tour stops, Magpie finds herself sucked into the hunt for a criminal. Her best friend is convinced it's the work of a local developer, but Magpie suspects something far more sinister--and possibly supernatural. How else to explain the creepy music that's been following her around?
Two for joy...
Magpie's hunch becomes certainty when a corpse appears. And as if that's not complicated enough, her ex is visiting town too. And oh yeah: things are getting weird between her and Buck, her best friend's dependable (and gorgeous) brother. Magpie is definitely not supposed to want to kiss him--and Buck is definitely not supposed to want to kiss her back.
When Magpie discovers today's violence connects to a mystery woman from the Two For Joy film set twenty years ago (a woman who looks an awful lot like Magpie), she grows more and more determined to uncover the truth.
Even if it will mean putting her life--and her heart--on the line.
- Ideal Blend of Genres: This romantic mystery with a splash of horror blends steamy romance, a supernatural atmosphere, and murder.
- Best Friend's Brother: Magpie finds herself teaming up with Buck, her best friend's brother, to solve a crime.
- Sun-Drenched Romance: Between sizzling chemistry and mystery lurking at the town's doorsteps, this is a perfect summer read.
- Small Town Mystery: After a local tourist trap is vandalized, Magpie and Buck find themselves drawn into a mystery that's twenty years in the making.
