Murder at the Lake

📖 The Scoop

Moonlight dances across her bare skin, and a shooting star flies across the sky. And while the young woman's eyes are open and facing upward, they no longer see anything...

Detective Madison Knight is about to get married when detectives from a neighboring city storm the wedding and arrest her fiancé, Troy Matthews. He's being charged for the murder of his childhood friend Dylan Graham, recently shot to death in his home. But the motive dates back to a fateful night from twenty-four years ago when seventeen-year-old Emily Kane was raped and strangled at a beach party.

Police claim that Dylan had plans to expose Troy for the crime even though another friend was convicted for it and sent to prison for twenty-four years. With that friend recently released, Madison suspects that he may be framing Troy to take the fall, some sort of vengeance for not saving him from going to prison. But when he also turns up murdered, Troy again becomes the prime suspect.

With evidence mounting against him, Madison is determined to prove her fiancé is innocent, but what troubles her the most is that all of Troy's friends from that time are being picked off one by one. That means Troy might be the killer's next target, but it's not just his life on the line when she discovers the twisted killer is stalking her.

This addictive heart-pounding crime thriller is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan, and Leslie Wolfe.
