Fame fades. Secrets remain. And in Willow Hollow, even the sweetest melodies can end in murder.
When a country legend’s perfect life unravels on the shores of Willow Hollow, secrets rise from the depths…
Everyone at the Willow Hollow Art Retreat is starstruck when Skye Newton, iconic country singer and queen of reinvention, checks in for a private lakeside getaway with her dashing new husband, Troy Landon. But when Troy’s shoes are found at the water’s edge and he disappears without a trace, the small town is thrown into chaos.
Was it a tragic accident? Or the perfect cover-up?
Cassandra Fairweather suspects the truth is murkier than the lake itself. Rumors fly—of affairs, old flames, and a prom queen with unfinished business. Then, a body washes up... but it’s not who anyone expected.
Now, with a scandal ready to explode and a killer lurking close to home, Cassandra must navigate fame, betrayal, and a trail of musical clues to uncover the truth.
Will she solve the mystery before another verse is written in blood?
Murder on the Lake is the fourth book in the Montana Cozy Art Mysteries series—where even the most beautiful settings can’t hide the darkest secrets.
While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books, too:
Murder on the Canvas
Murder in the Frame
Murder in the Palette
Genre: Mystery
