A beautiful new park. A deadly secret. And a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
Maggie Willow has enough on her plate. Between planning the grand opening of Apple Creek's newest preserve, searching for a house, and keeping up with her wonderfully meddlesome family, the last thing she needs is another mystery.
But when a local environmentalist claims the river is dangerously polluted, Maggie finds herself caught between conflicting scientific reports, angry townspeople, and a development project that's quickly turning into a nightmare.
Then a body turns up at River's Bluffs Preserve.
As the opening day approaching and suspicion spreading through town, Maggie can't help digging into the secrets surrounding the river. And when the clues begin pointing toward an eight-year-old murder conviction, she realizes someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the past buried.
With Detective Logan Forest by her side and his clever K9 partner, Bruno, never far away, Maggie must uncover the truth before another life is lost.
Welcome back to Apple Creek, where the neighbors know everyone, the gossip travels fast, and murder is never far from home.
Perfect for readers who love small-town cozy mysteries, clever canine companions, family humor, a touch of romance, and plenty of twists and turns.
