Turkey Trot Murder
Book 24 of the Lucy Stone series
Lucy Stone is preparing for Thanksgiving and Tinker's Cove's annual Turkey Trot when she discovers a young woman's body in a frozen pond. The death draws the reporter into questions that disturb the community well beyond the holiday race. With her children away and the town's seasonal routines disrupted, Lucy follows the evidence behind a troubling loss. This Maine-set mystery suits readers seeking a Thanksgiving investigation with more serious stakes beneath the small-town setting.
