Murder Among Friends

Book 4: Charlie Kingsley Mysteries

by Michele Pariza Wacek

Synopsis

Five friends went into the woods. Only four came back.

There’s a reason why Redemption, Wisconsin, is the home of all sorts of odd occurrences, including disappearances, murders, and general weirdness.

It all started back in 1888, when all the adults vanished, leaving behind only the children. No one knows what happened to the adults, but there is no end to the rumors flying around.

One particularly persistent rumor involves a cabin in the woods, and what supposedly lives in it. Some say if you can find it, you’ll be granted your deepest wish.

Others say to beware. It will come with too high a cost.

Needless to say, that warning has never stopped people from hunting for the cabin over the years, including five friends celebrating one last hurrah before m0ving on to the next chapter of their lives.

It's a few days to party, to make memories …. and maybe even change their lives, should their greatest wishes actually be granted.

Except … one doesn’t return.

Is this someone's idea of a joke? Or is there something else going on?

Luckily, Charlie is not only on the case but fueled with tea, as this will prove to be one of her most puzzling crimes to date.

Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

While this book can be read as a standalone, you may find it more enjoyable to read them in order, which is:

The Murder Before Christmas
Ice Cold Murder
Murder Next Door
Murder Among Friends
The Murder of Sleepy Hollow
