Two disappearances and a murder. The mystery couldn’t be more personal in a witty and twisty rom-com caper from Amazon Charts bestselling and Edgar Award–nominated author Jess Lourey.
After a year in Battle Lake, Minnesota, aspiring PI Mira James would kill not to stumble over another dead body. Given her latest discovery, though, it isn’t looking good.
An ominous note hidden in an old book not only mentions Battle Lake’s former librarian, who vanished into thin air, but also Mira’s own father, who died thirteen years ago. The word “HELP” scrawled at the top is even more unnerving. But who’s in danger? And why?
As if the note isn’t mystery enough, a girl’s sudden disappearance adds another case to Mira’s plate. To solve them both, Mira—and all of Battle Lake—must navigate deadly threats and a few surprises she never saw coming.
