Description

He didn’t commit suicide but who’s going to believe her...

Frustrated at being fired from her latest job and overwhelmed by her consolatory family, Sam decides to move to the family’s cabin at the lake. A place she hasn’t been since her dad committed suicide there, twenty years before. Or did he? Snooping is something she’s good at but someone seems to be taking offense to her looking too closely at what has been happening at the lake. What she discovers is shocking. Now she must uncover what’s real and what’s not. All that she learned growing up, may be false.

Keegan, who has recently moved to the area to finish his latest book, is also trying to find out if his grandfather, who’d passed away ten years before, died of natural causes or was murdered? The descendants of the four families, who own the land around the lagoon, are dying off.

Since Sam and Keegan are the only ones questioning the deaths, they find themselves working together to seek the truth. Are people being murdered? Who would benefit from their deaths? Why would there be barricades and armed guards at the north end of the lake? To stay alive, Sam and Keegan must find the answers and convince others, before more people are killed... including them.

Featured Reviews

Samantha "Sam" Overton has a gift, a talent of being fired or quitting a job. It isn't something that she is particularly proud of but her latest gig as a journalist, got her fired. It wasn't that she wasn't good at it, she was but she ventured into a story that no one wants to tell and she had been told to stay away from.

Now without a job, Sam finds herself staying at her families cabin. An area that has its own history including her father's suicide, but as strange things begin to happen Sam is certain her belief he didn't is true and now plans to prove it.

Keegan has his own reasons for staying at the cabin which resides by Sam's. He is trying to uncover if his grandfather really died of natural causes or if there is more to it. Enlisting the help of Sam, both find themselves entwined in a mystery that could lead to more victims if not solved.
�Exciting story, loved the beginning introduction to Sam. She is a firecracker and had me chuckling. Had a little bit of everything from betrayal to romance. Another wonderful read from Maggie Thom.
