Deceit & Double Dealings
(2024)(The second book in the Cleverly Shores Small Town Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Renee Lyles
A chef that creates mouth watering recipes, an unexpected guest that hasn’t been seen in sixteen years, and a murdered victim that has a mountain of deadly secrets that didn’t die with him.
Holly Middleton recently inherited not one, but two restaurants. She’s working diligently to get them up and running, and adding so many new and delicious recipes to both menus.
Late one evening her mother shows up at her door battered and bruised. It’s been sixteen years since she last saw her.
Holly is tossed into a world of chaos and confusion as she discovers burdening secrets of her mom’s disappearance years ago, and the reason for her sudden return.
A member of the community, Jake Brown, turns up dead a day after her mom’s return, and the police discover evidence of a tussle and DNA samples belonging to her mother on the scene. Holly wants nothing to do with the case or her mother.
But fate in this small town drags her into the middle of a brewing murder investigation. With a killer on the loose, and a parent she has no intention of reconnecting with, Holly is forced to make a choice before someone else in Cleverly Shores ends up dead.
