Murder in the Backwater (Lainey Maynard Mystery Series Book 2)

Description

Lainey Maynard knew that winter’s Cabin Fever transformed the kindest of locals into angry, caged animals chomping at the bit to escape the confines of their homes. The coming of Spring and the fact that Mirror Falls had been chosen as the site for the Minnesota Governor’s Fishing Openers was the only thing that kept their hopes alive.

When she volunteered to help Della, Francy, and Vera organize the big drawing event, she realized there was more to fishing than stink bait! Missing person could case files aren’t popular topics among anglers. And throwing suspicion on prominent city officials could raise more than bobbers and eyebrows.

The Backwater had been the locals favorite dining spot for over forty years. The delicious food more than made up for old rumors about the owner’s crazy dreams. And the police had never charged Shep with anything over the years.

Lainey’s sharp intuition had saved her from danger in the past. But her stubbornness and determination to find the truth had gotten her into trouble, too. Things aren’t always as they seem to be. Dreaming isn’t against the law, is it?
