Small town murders. Big time thrills.
Killers walk among us. Statistically, at least one of them
knows your name...
Beatrice Fletcher is obsessed with unsolved murders in her small
town of Cabot Cove, Maine like her great-aunt Jessica, the famous
mystery writer. But when her best friend Jackson goes missing,
this time the mystery is personal.
Then Jackson fails to show up for a late night meet-up, and instead,
Bea stumbles upon three students from the elite Broadmoor
Academy: overly-friendly and slightly vicious Leisl, her aloof twin
brother, Leif, and Carlos, who knows more about, well, everything
than he's letting on.
They're worldly, secretive, and big on playing games like tenace,
the hush-hush Broadmoor tradition where anything or anyone can
be a clue to future fame and fortune, and players will stop at
nothing - including murder - to get ahead.
If Bea wants to find Jackson, she too must join the game and play
to win. Everyone in Cabot Cove has secrets, and it's up to Bea
to ferret them out before it's too late in this thrilling modern
update of the classic television show.
Perfect for fans of the original TV series
A thrilling and fast-paced murder mystery guaranteed to keep
you on your toes!
