Old friends. Buried secrets. One impossible murder.
Balmy air, sunny skies, and tranquil turquoise seas. But this nostalgic backdrop is about to become a stage for betrayal and murder…
Daphne is eager to reconnect with her carefree youth. Returning to her grandparents' village to renovate their old home, she finds the landscape shadowed by memories of a perfect summer that ended with the mysterious departure of her closest childhood friends. Then, one by one, they reappear. Their reunion is shattered when a shared invitation to a grand mansion ends with the discovery of its owner’s strangled corpse.
Informed by the police that she and her friends were the only ones present at the time of the killing, Daphne hunts for clues to prove the once-inseparable quartet is innocent. But as scandals bubble to the surface and sparks fly between her and the first boy she ever loved, she confronts the unsettling truth that two decades of separation can hide a multitude of sins.
Can she unmask a murderer before the people she just got back are ripped away forever?
Secrets of a Stolen Summer is the twisty first book in the Four Seasons mystery series. If you like loyal heroines, sun-soaked landscapes, and locked-room puzzles, then you’ll adore Georgia Alexander’s romance-peppered whodunnit.
