[Charlotte Ross Mysteries 01] • Love, Lies and Murder

Charlotte Ross sees her world about to crumble when the man she's in love with-her mysterious boss, John Trent- announces his engagement to someone else. Charlotte's best friend, dubious globe-trotter and mystery author, Jane Marshall, arrives back in town only to stumble across the gruesome corpse of the town's millionaire industrialist. When Jane becomes determined to find the killer, Charlotte joins forces with her friend to ease her heartbreak. In the process, the two self-appointed sleuths turn their small town upside down. Charlotte is endearingly impractical as her impulsive choices lead her into and out of peril, with only the wry and often-misguided advice of the capricious Jane to guide her. Eldridge Corners is rich with quirky, small town personalities who both aid and thwart the young women's quest as they discover that people are not always who they seem, and a single error in judgment can prove fatal.
