(2025)(The seventh book in the Mayhem Village Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kate Jach
Moving home was supposed to bring Gina closer to her family, but instead, it unearthed the mystery of her father’s disappearance—and a killer determined to keep the past buried.
Jane expected a quiet dinner with her best friend, Gina.
Instead, a blood-chilling threat is found taped to the bathroom wall.
Gina confesses—ever since she and her family moved back, she’s been receiving strange puzzles, warnings, and sinister messages. She hoped to leave the past behind, but her father’s disappearance years ago was no accident.
Now, someone is making sure she never uncovers the truth.
Then her younger brother, Milo, vanishes without a trace. Desperate for answers, Jane teams up with her loyal dog, Archie, and Detective Bruce to follow the clues.
