In the quiet towns of Staples and Buffalo, Minnesota, friendships are forged in childhood and secrets are buried deep. For Mike Clarkston, his world is built around his lifelong friend Jordan Williams and his deep love for Nancy Adams, the girl who captures his heart. But beneath the surface of their idyllic lives, a chilling darkness festers within Nancy, whose charming facade conceals a possessive and deadly nature.
Nancy's jealousy is a relentless poison. Anyone who gets too close to Mike-from her own best friend Andrea to a string of unsuspecting women-becomes a target. One by one, those who stand in her way meet tragic and violent ends, their deaths dismissed as accidents or unsolved mysteries. From a childhood incident on a playground swing to a series of brutal murders that span decades, Nancy leaves a trail of sorrow and cold cases, all while playing the part of the devoted girlfriend and later, the loving wife.
As the body count rises, a web of lies, infidelity, and manipulation begins to unravel. Mike, blinded by love, remains oblivious to the horrifying truth about the woman he married. But when a gruesome discovery is made in the deer stand he built with his friends, a relentless detective starts to connect the dots between the victims, all leading back to Mike's seemingly perfect life.
Something Stinks in the North Woods is a harrowing tale of obsession and betrayal, where love is a deadly weapon and the most dangerous predator is the one you trust the most. How many must die before Nancy's dark secrets are finally dragged into the light? And can Mike survive the devastating revelation that the love of his life is a cold-blooded serial killer?
