After splurging to buy her childhood home in the
Catskills, recently widowed Mikki Lincoln emerges from
retirement as a freelance editor. With her ability to spot
details that others fail to see, it’s not long before Mikki
earns clients—and realizes that the village of Lenape Hollow
isn’t the thriving tourist destination it was decades ago.
Not with a murderer on the loose . . . When perky novice writer Tiffany Scott knocks at her door
holding a towering manuscript, Mikki expects another debut
novel plagued by typos and sloppy prose. Instead, she finds
a murder mystery ripped from the headlines of Lenape
Hollow’s not-too-distant past. The opening scene is a
graphic page-turner, but it sends a real chill down Mikki’s
spine after the young author turns up dead just like the
victim in her story . . . Mikki refuses to believe that Tiffany’s death was
accidental, and suspicions of foul play solidify as she
uncovers a strange inconsistency in the manuscript and a
possible motive in the notes. Then there’s Tiffany’s
grandmother and husband, who aren’t exactly on friendly
terms over the local area’s planned rejuvenation efforts . . . Unable to convince police that they are focused on the wrong
suspect, Mikki must rely on her keen eyes to catch the truth
hidden in Lenape Hollow. As she gets closer to cracking the
case, only one person takes Mikki’s investigation
seriously—the cunning killer who will do anything to make
this chapter of her life come to a very abrupt ending . . .
