Book Description
She came to Lake Gardner for space from a marriage quietly unraveling — not to inherit a decade-old mystery. But a simple assignment documenting the town's haunted history pulls her straight into the unsolved deaths of two women who died under sinister circumstances, under the same rare lunar event that's approaching again.
As the next blue moon grows near, Marnie digs even deeper for the truth. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more dangerous her questions become — and the more she starts to wonder if she’s next to face the same fate?
For readers of Karen White, Barbara Davis, and Diane Chamberlain: a Southern mystery where the ghosts are real. And so are the truths that Marnie’s been avoiding.
