Money and Murder at the heart of this Midwestern Mystery! Praised by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman "Loon Lake is a great get-away, even if it does keep me up at nights!" For fans of William Kent Krueger and Fargo The seventeenth book in the popular and enduring Loon Lake mystery series, which has sold more than 200,000 copies! A lovely Sunday afternoon in late June and the annual Loon Lake Youth Fishing Tournament is coming to a close. People are happy, kids full of ice cream and teenagers setting off firecrackers so loud no one hears the gunshot. But when the crowd thins out an attractive young wife makes a grisly discovery: A single bullet to the brain has killed her much-older husband--the richest man in Wisconsin. Just as Loon Lake Police Chief Lewellyn Ferris gets the murder investigation underway, her good friend and deputy coroner, "Doc" Osborne, is alarmed to hear his oldest grandchild, fifteen-year-old Beth, has been caught in a drug sting. And Loon Lake's idyllic summer is further shattered when numerous elderly patients in Loon Lake's nursing home discover they have been robbed.
I love when writers use libraries in their stories and highlight new books, too. As always, Victoria Houstn doesn't disappoint in this Loon Lake mystery. A quick and easy read.
