Wayward Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book 13 - A Whispering Pines Mystery Shawn McGuire

What if the best decision you ever made was also the worst?

The new tourist season is about to start. The witches, carnies, fortune tellers, and other lovable outcasts of Whispering Pines are abuzz with excitement. Sheriff Jayne O'Shea, however, is nervous. After their tragic last season, the lakeside hamlet became known as the Murder Capital of Wisconsin, and she would love to redeem their reputation.

Everyone has assured her they're ready and that it's going to be a great opening weekend, but Jayne can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. Then, just as waves of happy tourists start to arrive, villagers go missing one by one.

This is the showdown Jayne has been preparing for. She knows who's responsible, but before catching the kidnapper, she first needs to save the victims. That means releasing control and letting others step up because this time she's too close. Failure could mean the end for those she loves most.
