About this ebook

The third book in the four book USA Today bestselling Magnolia Steele Mystery series.

When Magnolia Steele started digging into her father’s disappearance, she had no idea she’d find so much dirt. The secrets she unearthed have changed the official story of what happened to him. Everyone other than her now believes that he embezzled from a client with the help of several accomplices, one of whom got greedy and killed the rest, but Magnolia’s convinced there’s more to it. She finds plenty of conflicting evidence, including startling links between several recent deaths and her father’s past

As if she didn’t have worries enough, someone has hidden cameras in her apartment, and the stalker who’s been tormenting her amps up his campaign. She wants to trust someone with her secrets, but who? The police are out—there’s someone crooked on the force, and she has reason to believe it’s her maybe-boyfriend’s best friend—and even the people closest to her are suspect. Her sister-in-law and her sinfully attractive friend, Colt, both have agendas of their own; her mother is as tight-lipped as a vault; and in addition to having shady connections, her policeman suitor has a troubling secret.

Before she gets very far in her investigation, a murderer strikes again in Franklin, and this time the victim is someone she knows. The message is clear—step back and keep quiet—but to Magnolia Steele, it’s a call to action.

Ratings and reviews

This book is just fantastic! It was probably my favorite book of the Magnolia Steele Mystery series so far. It had parts where you may cry, parts where you may laugh, and parts where you may just drop to the floor with a heart attack because of all the twists and turns!! I am still in shock and I finished it the day before I posted this. I can not wait for the next book and all the twists and turns it will bring!

I loved catching up with Magnolia and her life, the storyline picked up quickly and I was able to remember what had been previously happening in the last installment. I knew that this is a four part story so I wasn't expecting to find out the answers I was anxiously waiting for in terms of her love life and the major plotline running through about the murders and the mystery of her Father. I wish Magnolia would settle with Brady but I can see the allure that Colt brings...

This book was amazing. I can't believe all the stuff that was packed into it and still there is more story. I hate that Magnolia has to go through so much and can't trust nobody. She is still tangled into a big mess of poop. I don't think she ever finds the real trusting person threw the whole story. I was surprised but expecting something to happen at the end. I like the way the story is going and look forward to the next book. Everyone should start at the beginning and read these books they will not be disappointed
