Description

When Emmy Cooper’s life in Chicago is turned upside down, the young interior designer retreats to her family’s lake cottage resort in the beautiful Wisconsin Northwoods for a much-needed break. Hoping to clear her mind and gain a fresh perspective, she looks forward to enjoying the slower pace and the crisp, clean pine air at her beloved Cooper’s Cove Resort with her family, dogs, and her best friend, Whitney.

Unfortunately, her homecoming isn't as calm as she'd hoped when Emmy finds out a ruthless development company is relentlessly pressuring Lake Covington property owners, including Emmy's family, to sell their land so they can build an extravagant, modern resort that would ruin the quaint esthetic of the area. And things only get worse when Emmy finds the dead body of one of the developers floating in the lake—murdered!

Suddenly the police are involved, and since Emmy's father was leading the fight to stop the shady development from getting approval, he's quickly painted as the prime suspect. Now it's up to Emmy to prove her father’s innocence, save the reputation of Cooper’s Cove, and find out who would resort to murder.

"Annie McEwen has crafted the perfect whodunit-staycation read!"

    I liked it very much being from Wisconsin and catching all the local color references. But even without that the characters are appealing. The villain a bit too obvious but the whole thing hung together. Enjoy!
  • Interesting, fun, small town, twisted, cozy mystery

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! New to me author and series. Wow, what a fantastic book. It was hard to put down & I was sad when it ended, because I wanted more. The setting was very well known to me, my family has spent a lot of time in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It was awesome to read a book with such a familiar setting. The writing was really good, the characters were relatable & the setting was beautiful. I will definitely be picking up any book this author writes.
