In the quiet lakeside town of Pickwick Bend, Tennessee, a Memphis weekender is found dead inside her gated Magnolia Shores vacation home. At first, it looks like a tragedy best left to the authorities.
But what begins as curiosity for the local crime-loving book club turns dangerous when they discover what the victim was really doing in Pickwick Bend – digging into old deeds, buried bloodlines, and a secret that could cost a powerful family everything.
As gossip spreads and documents vanish, Shelby Rae, Trixie, Janelle and Curtis face escalating danger. A suspicious fire. Missing records. And a chilling attempt to silence one of them inside the one place she should be safe.
Now the Pickwick Bend Murder Club is racing to uncover the truth before someone closes ranks for good.
Because in a sleepy small town, secrets never lie.
