[Marisa Adair Mysteries 02] • Mayhem Takes a Dare · the Second Marisa Adair Mystery Adventure (Marisa Adair Mysteries Book 2)

Fantasy and reality clash when the members of an online group meet in person. Behind the glitter of the profiles, true identities are entwined with deadly secrets. "You can't tell him." Sarah's pretty face hardens, the dimples fading like a whimsical daydream. Her fingers claw Marisa's arm. Marisa is furious. "I won't let you get away with it. You're trying to trick my friend into a relationship." Marisa's gaze rakes the bulky sweatshirt and boxy jeans camouflaging the lush figure. "You're a stripper with a volatile boyfriend. You're not a high school teacher looking for love." Later, Sarah is stabbed to death in the middle of her exotic routine. Marisa and her devastated friend are among the suspects. To solve the murder, Marisa joins forces with unlikely allies. Parvis, an attractive investigative reporter, will do anything for a story to shock his online followers. Handsome accountant Alex is accustomed to saving money and cutting expenses. Now he's focused on saving lives and cutting off a desperate murderer. Clara, a retired lunch lady fearless to the point of foolhardiness, uses her own version of "slay-dar" to hunt the murderer. In the past, Marisa lived a reckless double life. She was a conservative administrator by day. After hours, she partied the nights away in a notorious club. Now she finds herself back in shadowy, forbidden places as she and her friends track down a killer. The twisted trail to the murderer leads to explosive, decades-old secrets, including a vigilante-style killing. Marisa and her friends follow the clues to a twisted killer. Can she solve the mystery before her online account is deleted... permanently?"
