(2026)(A book in the Orange Lake Mysteries series)
A novel by Margaret Belle
In this new Orange Lake Mystery, the three women known as The Granddaughters, have no idea that trouble is barreling toward them in the form of a terrified 8-year-old girl. Her mother is dead, and she can identify the man who is responsible, but she is unable to speak.
Sure that the little girl is in danger, Franny, Ellie and Sandy, are determined to provide her safe harbor until they figure out what happened to her. With their maternal instincts fully restored, they resist even alerting the police, afraid they might take her and put into foster care, a fate they don'''t believe she could handle.
Enter Detective Sam Summers and Sergeant John O’Hara, lawmen who are looking for the child they believe is missing and investigating her mother’s death. Once again drawn into the frustrating orbits of the three women, they join forces to hunt down the guilty parties and bring them to justice.
Against the backdrop of beautiful Orange Lake, in Newburgh, New York, the three stalwart, ‘over-the-hill’ granddaughters will have you turning the pages of this surprising mystery late into the night.
