Secrets in the Pines: A Maggie Wright Cozy Mystery

Curiosity draws me back to the wooded retreat when random items and a camper goes missing. But a dead body means I’m staying. My return to sister camp, River Rock, was to help locate Wesley. But when his body is found lifeless, my gut tells me there’s more linking these wooded retreats than pine trees. Detective Harper warns me away, but unresolved history pulls us into a fragile alliance to find the truth. As whispers of the murder burn through the camp like wildfire, Leah, with her violent past, suddenly reappears and Dana’s sinister facade becomes more suspect. Adding another layer, flashbacks of a violent fire deep in my memories, coats the situation with a complexity I have yet to understand. When Biscuit, my faithful mutt, unearths a bloodstained cloth that leads us closer to the truth, warnings and threats await me in the woods. This summer at River Rock is no campfire tale — it’s a lethal puzzle that needs solving before I become the next missing piece.
