Dead in the Water

Skye Denison-Boyd wishes she could click her ruby-red high-tops, chant There’s no place like home, and go back to life pre-tornado. With her house destroyed, her husband missing, and a baby on the way, the last thing she needs is a dead body among the rubble. But that’s exactly what she finds. Zeke Lyon, the town’s mild-mannered bookkeeper, appears to have been a victim of the tornado-but some of the details don’t quite add up. When Skye starts to dig into Zeke’s mysterious death, her husband goes missing, and she’s sure he’s been kidnapped. Will she be able to solve the case and find her husband before it’s too late? The first book in the new Scumble River series by New York Times bestselling author Denise Swanson reintroduces dedicated readers to their favorite characters and provides an entry point for readers new to Swanson’s work.
