Book 5 in the Molly McBeal Cozy Mystery series
Autumn settles over Blue Heron Bay, and Molly McBeal is finally finding her rhythm—until her intuitive Aussiedoodle, Star, begins stopping daily at a weathered gate, uneasy and insistent. Three weeks later, Molly follows her lead… and finds a body no one thought to look for.
Drawn in by instinct—and years spent reading what others miss—Molly can’t ignore the unease curling beneath the town’s polished surface. With Star’s watchful presence and uncanny sensitivity guiding her, she begins untangling a past no one wants uncovered.
The victim had enemies. Quiet ones. Respectable ones. People with polished smiles and carefully guarded secrets—each with a reason to keep the truth buried.
But in a town built on reputation, truth is dangerous.
As Molly gets closer, so does the killer—someone hiding in plain sight, willing to protect their secrets at any cost.
And this time, Star’s warning may come too late.
