Casual Conversations About Love and Murder — Chelsea Mueller

SOME FRIENDSHIPS FADE. OURS WAS MURDERED. What would you do if your best friend died? What if she'd betrayed you hours earlier? Emma's nights are haunted by the twisted sight of her friend's body in Stone Lake. Others in the sleepy town of Camber slap an accident label on the death and call it a day. Emma can't. It hurts too much to leave it alone. Proving the drowning was murder isn't easy. The sheriff stonewalls her, her friends want her to leave it alone, and her parents are too busy bickering to worry over much else. Cole's mistrust for corporations and government hasn't made him many friends in town, but his willingness to believe Emma makes him her strongest ally. Together they'll dig into the town's past—and their own—to get to the truth. Even if it brings more danger to their doorsteps.
