Murder in Surrogacy Lodge
(2025)(The fourth book in the Isabella Brookstone Mystery series)
A novel by Fiona Finch
Welcome to Whimsy Hollow—where a cozy winter surrogacy lodge becomes a crime scene.
When librarian-sleuth Isabella Brookstone delivers donated books to The Surrogacy Lodge, she expects cocoa, quiet halls, and third-trimester surrogates waiting for birth. Instead, the lodge’s founder is found dead in the snow by the greenhouse. Staff call it a tragic fall on the ice. Isabella sees something else: frost where it shouldn’t be, an open door, and a lonely syringe cap buried in the drift.
With her keen-eyed tabby Whiskers and steady-but-stubborn cop Jack Larson, Isabella begins to pull at the lodge’s neat seams. Tight rules around ‘privacy,’ missing records, a vanished surrogate, and a young woman quietly being blamed all point to something darker than an accident. Snow traps everyone inside as fear spreads. To protect the mothers caught in the middle—and stop a killer who treats lives like contracts—Isabella must uncover the truth before the storm breaks and the guilty walk free.
Genre: Mystery
