Dead in the Water
A Fall Cozy Mystery
Book IV in the Cozy for Every Season Series
A crisp autumn afternoon settles over Olde Towne as brilliant shades of orange, gold, and crimson reflect across the still waters of the town lake. Along the shoreline, Janey Cathcart stands in her pumpkin-orange jacket, her expression a mixture of shock and determination as she gazes toward two figures floating near the reeds.
Beside her stands Pepper, alert and watching the lake.
In the distance, flashing police lights break the peaceful autumn scene while Chief Simon Davis approaches from the shoreline. An ambulance can be seen arriving, with Will Coopersmith and his EMT partner preparing their rescue boat.
Towering maples frame the lake, their colorful leaves drifting gently across the water. The tranquil beauty of the season contrasts sharply with the terrible discovery, hinting that beneath Olde Towne's cozy charm lies a deadly secret.
The mood is mysterious rather than frightening, inviting readers into another warm, character-driven cozy mystery filled with friendship, romance, and long-buried secrets.
