Murder at Maple Lane
(2026)(A book in the Lakeview Pet Shop Mysteries series)
A novel by Bella Wisley
A quiet lakeside town. A charming pet shop. And a body that refuses to stay an accident.
When Ivy Rowe inherits her aunt’s home and pet shop in the idyllic town of Lakeview, she expects muddy paw prints and quirky customers—not a dead artisan by the dock.
But when Ivy and her sharp-eyed dog, Lacey, stumble into the town’s first suspicious death in years, they are pulled into a mystery Lakeview would rather ignore.
New to town but already under scrutiny, she relies on help from a steady handyman with a knack for noticing details, a café owner who knows everyone’s secrets, and a dog whose instincts are better than the constable’s conclusions.
As gossip swirls, Ivy uncovers feuds involving a volatile fisherman and a defensive craftsman friend—each with reasons to resent the victim.
When subtle threats turn personal and clues begin appearing close to home, Ivy feels eyes on her every move.
If she doesn’t uncover the truth fast, Lakeview’s next victim found by the dock could be her.
