Blurb:
A rental cabin. An unidentified body. And a private investigator haunted by secrets that refuse to stay buried.
A man is found dead in a rental cabin in the isolated woods. Dead quiet. No witnesses. No explanation. No easy answers.
Private investigator Maggie Wright finds a body, cryptic notes, and no clue as to who the victim is, or who wanted him gone, in this gripping cozy mystery.
Haunted by the past and convinced old secrets never stay buried, Maggie can't shake the feeling that this murder is tied to the shadow in the woods…dangerously unfinished.
With her partner Harper at her side and her sharp-nosed dog, Biscuit, on alert, this female PI follows a trail that leads in many troubling directions.
Was the killer an enraged contractor with a violent temper? A business owner protecting his livelihood? Or a stranger lurking around the cabins with reasons no one has uncovered yet?
Because the biggest threat isn't hiding in the woods.
It's the one Maggie refuses to see…and getting closer.
My Review:
A man is found dead in a cabin deep in the woods. Maggie, Harper, and Biscuit follow every lead and uncover a list of suspects. Each new clue sends the story in a fresh direction and kept me guessing about what really happened in that cabin.
Who was the man—and why was he there? Who would want him dead? Was the murder meant to send a message, and if so, to whom?
I couldn’t put the book down as the investigation unfolded. The pacing and suspense kept me turning pages until I finally learned what happened and why.
I was also intrigued by the notes Maggie keeps receiving. Who’s sending them, and why target Maggie? Do they connect to an earlier case, the man in the cabin, or a warning meant for her?
Biscuit deserves special credit. He’s more than a clue-finding dog—he’s Maggie’s loyal partner. His focus during the investigation stands out, especially when he follows a scent from one place to the next, only for it to disappear, leaving even more questions behind.
I’m looking forward to the next book in the Maggie Wright Cozy Mystery series to see what case Maggie, Harper, and Biscuit tackle next.
