Publisher's Synopsis
Online Dating Can Be Murder A week that starts out with a woman's dead body in the living room is not going to end well. Writer Leah Nash learns this truth when her friend Miguel arrives home on a Sunday night, only to discover that his weekend renter has failed to checkout-at least in the usual sense of the word. By Wednesday, Miguel's uncle is arrested for murder. The victim is the owner of SweetMeets, a website for sugar daddies in search of college-age sugar babies. Police investigators uncover an eye-witness who saw Miguel's uncle at the scene, they find his fingerprints on the murder weapon, and they dig up a connection to the victim that he was anxious to keep buried. But Miguel's uncle isn't the only resident of small-town Himmel, Wisconsin with something to hide. As Leah and Miguel hunt for the real killer, they're faced with half-truths and outright lies from local citizens desperate to keep their own secrets buried. In her most complex investigation to date, Leah must use all the smarts-and smart-assery-she has to find the killer's true identity. When she does, everything comes together in a tense climax that tests her courage and reveals that she's been keeping a few things secret from herself. Fans of mysteries featuring strong female protagonists will enjoy following Leah Nash as she navigates storylines full of twists and turns. The series combines the familiar pleasures of a small-town cozy-a cast of recurring characters, a touch of romance, and total immersion in an imaginary small-town setting-with the sharper dialogue and edgier plot of a mystery thriller.
