Lured By Murder
(2024)(The first book in the Fish Camp Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Summer Prescott
If something seems fishy…
It could be murder.
When Editorial Assistant, Eugenia Barkley, receives the news that her estranged mother has passed, she’s astonished to hear that there was a provision in her mother’s will that bequeathed upon her a cabin in the Ozarks.
Shocked that her high-society mother even knew the Ozarks existed, Eu – a Los Angeles girl - has no idea what she’s going to do with a property that’s so far away, and that she probably wouldn’t be able to afford to keep. From what she’d heard of her mother, her idea of ‘roughing it’ would be a condo that didn’t have a doorman.
Her dilemma is short-lived, however, when Eu loses her job at the newspaper. Faced with no income, and uncertain as to what she should do with her life, she decides to go take a look at the property and see if she can sell it to build a nest egg for herself.
Discovering that the property is a cabin on the lake is shocking, but becoming a murder suspect shortly after her arrival is even more so. In a small town, filled with people who look at her as an outsider, Eu has to figure out how to catch a killer before she ends up in the slammer for a crime she didn’t commit.
As she tries to dig up the truth about the murder, she also discovers things about her mother that she never knew – things that could change the way she sees herself.
Can she crack the case? Will she keep the cabin? Find out in this first exciting book of the Fish Camp Cozy Mysteries series!
