In this online group, they take cold cases and try to solve them. Innocent fun until it isn’t. Her life suddenly becomes much more than she ever expected, and it just gets worse. After receiving strange messages and warnings that once the game begins there is no way out. It is when a beautiful necklace arrives in the mail, she is more worried than ever. Not wanting to involve the sheriff, her cousin and soon-to-be father, Zac, Bailey contacts well-known appraiser Dom Lucier to see if the necklace is real or fake. The Las Vegas businessman is more than happy to help out the woman who has been on his mind since meeting her at her best friend’s wedding. In returning to Pike to examine and trace the necklace Dom and Bailey end up with more than a cold case to solve. Deaths escalate and the killer appears to be stalking and has plans for Bailey. Can they solve this before it’s too late? THE MURDER CLUB will have you on the edge of your seat and glued to the pages. Bailey is a smart woman who loves her life and her town but wants some innocent fun and a way to use her very active brain. It turns dangerous and she finds herself in a very precarious position. So many things happen to her – losing her job, getting the threats and the necklace – that she begins to be frightened. And very logically so. The best thing that comes out of the whole mess for Bailey is Dom. A wealthy businessman who was charmed by the small-town nurse finds himself her protector and getting deeper involved than even he expected. As the feelings begin to grow quickly to love, Dom will risk his life to protect her and find out the truth behind the suddenly dangerous club. If you like a mystery with a lot of twists and turns, a romance that is sweet and steamy rolled into one, with characters that are likable or confusing or just downright terrible then you want THE MYSTERY CLUB in your hands.
