In the age of social media, some views are filtered. Others are fatal.
Tourism Director Ellie Summers has finally put Millcrest Falls on the map. So when famous travel influencer Vance Reynolds arrives to feature the town's new glamping resort for his three million followers, she's ready for her biggest win yet.
Then Vance posts a cryptic teaser about "the dark truth" behind the town's charming façade—and turns up dead at Eagle's Overlook the next morning.
The sheriff calls it an accident: a fatal fall while staging the perfect sunrise shot. But Ellie knows staged scenes, and this one doesn't add up.
As she digs deeper, the influencer's polished image cracks wide open. Vance Reynolds was actually Derek Simmons, a Millcrest Falls native who left town under mysterious circumstances years ago. He was blackmailing the resort developer over fraudulent environmental claims. And he'd been documenting the gap between the town's curated image and its messy reality.
When threatening notes appear in Ellie's office and someone breaks into her home, it's clear the killer wants certain truths to stay buried.
With Finn's support and Sheriff Morgan's reluctant help, Ellie races to unmask the murderer before another "accident" occurs. But solving the case means confronting an uncomfortable question: has her tourism success come at the cost of everything authentic about the town she's grown to love?
Some pictures are worth a thousand words. This one might be worth her life.
VIEW TO A KILL is the third book in the Millcrest Falls Tourism Mystery series. Each book features a complete, standalone mystery while building the relationships readers will follow throughout the series.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
