A novel by Maryann Jordan
Old flames, broken hearts, and a Valentine dance to die for!
Love is in the air in Meadowlark Creek, and retired librarian June Higgins is looking forward to the town's annual Valentine dance. With her granddaughter Sara Lee enjoying a budding romance and a certain longtime friend hoping for a dance, the evening promises music, laughter, and plenty of small-town charm.
But when a handsome stranger returns to the town he left thirty years ago, not everyone is delighted to see him.
Once the most popular boy in school, he left behind a trail of broken hearts, betrayed friendships, and memories several prominent residents would rather forget. His unexpected arrival stirs up old jealousies, heated confrontations, and secrets that have remained buried for decades.
Before the final dance, he's found murdered on the front steps.
With a grieving widow demanding answers, a sheriff facing too many suspects, and half the town remembering reasons to dislike the victim, June and Sara Lee have their work cut out for them.
Because in Meadowlark Creek, time may heal broken hearts... but some grudges never die.
Valentine Dance Murder is the third book in the Meadowlark Creek Mysteries, featuring a retired librarian sleuth, her spirited granddaughter, two lovable pets, and a small Virginia town where secrets rarely stay buried.
