Old bones. New lies. Deadly consequences.
Sheriff Cammie Farnsworth is called to the site of Twin Ponds’ newest hotel project when construction crews unearth a skeleton. The discovery reignites a decade-old political feud and puts the town’s mayor, Bill Barnes, under suspicion. Whispers spread fast—was this the fate of his long-vanished rival, silenced to secure power?
As Cammie digs into the past, a fresh murder shocks the community. This time the killing is cold-blooded and precise, carried out with a paralyzing injection that points to someone with knowledge, resources, and a ruthless need to keep secrets buried.
But in Twin Ponds, old legends stir as the body count rises. Locals claim the hotel site is cursed, a dumping ground for restless spirits. A self-proclaimed witch plants charms, the Grandfather Tree looms, heavy with superstition, and every whisper feeds the panic. Cammie must separate folklore from fact before fear consumes the town—and a killer strikes again.
Murder by Duplicity is book four in the Twin Ponds Mysteries, a suspenseful small-town mystery series where political scandal, buried secrets, and old superstitions collide.
