A Vengeful Murder

By B.T. Lord

Wedding bells. A vanished groom. A killer who won't forget.

Ten days before her wedding to Jace Northcott, Sheriff Cammie Farnsworth answers a call from ninety-two-year-old Cora Cameron, who swears a scarecrow is stalking her. In the woods, Cammie finds a homeless man brutally assaulted--and senses something darker moving beneath the town's festivities.

When Jace disappears without a trace, the nightmare sharpens. A serial killer Cammie helped put away, nicknamed the Jack-O-Lantern for the crude pumpkin faces carved into his victims, has just been released, and once swore revenge. As talk of a stalking scarecrow collides with the Jack-O-Lantern killer's return, Cammie follows the facts before panic takes hold.

As Twin Ponds rallies and the clock runs down, another shock hits: Doc's estranged relative Lily Evans arrives in town and then vanishes. Coincidence, or a second move in a ruthless game?

Cammie must navigate wedding plans turned manhunt, town fear turning to frenzy, and a killer who knows exactly how to hurt her. If she fails, she won't just lose her badge--she'll lose the future she's fought to build.

A Vengeful Murder is book ten in the Twin Ponds Mysteries, a suspenseful small-town mystery series where personal vendettas, community drama, and twist-filled investigations collide.
