Poached - Paperback

Fall is in full swing on Johnson's Island. The leaves are changing, chili is on the stove, and best friends Francie and June are looking forward to one of the last weekends of the season at the lake. Nothing newsworthy ever happens on the small island where June has borrowed a friend's cottage on the bay. Except for an unsolved disappearance of a young woman fifteen years ago on Halloween night.

The mystery gains new life when Francie chooses the cold case to research for an assignment in her quest to gain her degree in criminal justice. June is always on board to help her friend when it comes to a good mystery, but she has her own case to solve. Her beloved chihuahua, Teenie, has gone missing and June is worried sick. There has been a string of missing dogs plaguing the sleepy island for years.

In their search for the truth, they encounter residents who seem helpful, but may have more to hide than meets the eye. And no investigation at Halloween would be complete without ghostly sightings and potential danger lurking around every mum.

Can they find Teenie and unlock the secrets of the past before they are scared off the island?

Cuddle up in front of a cozy fire with a spicy chai tea and stay tuned to see if this dynamic duo can once again"make the grade" and put the past to rest once and for all.
