Skinny Dipping with Murder
(2016)(The first book in the Otter Lake Mystery series)
A novel by Auralee Wallace
The first Otter Lake mystery is “a frolicking good time . . . with a heroine who challenges Stephanie Plum for the title of funniest sleuth” (Denise Swanson, New York Times–bestselling author).
Erica Bloom is in no rush to return to Otter Lake, the site of her mother’s spiritual retreat for women. Erica met her inner goddess years ago and she’s happy to have forged a new identity on her own, thank you very much. But her new-age-y, well-meaning mother is losing her grip on the business, and needs Erica’s help. So she heads back to her New Hampshire hometown, where nothing much has changed—except for maybe the body in the well . . .
When Erica was a teenager, she fell prey to a practical joke that left her near-naked in Otter Lake’s annual Raspberry Social. The incident was humiliating, but it wasn’t like anyone got killed—until now. Those who were behind that long-ago prank are starting to turn up dead, and Erica’s appearance in town makes her a prime suspect. To make matters worse, the town sheriff just happens to be Erica’s old nemesis, Grady Forrester . . . who also happens to be hotter than ever. Can Erica find a way to dig up the truth—before someone digs her grave?
“A delightful mystery with laugh-out-loud moments, a touch of romance, and a fun, sassy style. Readers will enjoy every moment spent in Otter Lake.” —Diane Kelly, award winning author of Busted
“Time spent with the folks in Otter Lake is well worthwhile, with writing that is witty, contemporary, and winning.” —Kirkus Reviews
Genre: Cozy Mystery
