Bylines and Betrayals: Lainey Boggins Mysteries, #2

By Nikolett Strachan

Poker night turns deadly when someone loses more than just money

 

Summertime in Aurora Heights is busier than ever. Between training for her grandmother's annual "fun run" and a new potential suitor, Lainey has her hands full.

When a mysterious new stranger shows up in town, all the seniors in Aurora Heights are on high alert. They call him a liar, a cheat, and a con artist. And when a prominent businessman ends up dead, everyone's secrets are threatened to be revealed.

Could this mysterious stranger be the one behind the death? More importantly, why don't Lainey's friends like her new boyfriend?
