Blurb:
Moonlight
dances across her bare skin, and a shooting star flies across the
sky. And while the young woman’s eyes are open and facing upward,
they no longer see anything…
Detective Madison Knight is
about to get married when detectives from a neighboring city storm
the wedding and arrest her fiancé, Troy Matthews. He’s being
charged for the murder of his childhood friend Dylan Graham, recently
shot to death in his home. But the motive dates back to a fateful
night from twenty-four years ago when seventeen-year-old
Emily Kane was
raped and strangled at a beach party.
Police claim that
Dylan had plans to expose Troy for the crime even though another
friend was convicted for it and sent to prison for twenty-four years.
With that friend recently released, Madison suspects that he may be
framing Troy to take the fall, some sort of vengeance for not saving
him from going to prison. But when he also turns up murdered, Troy
again becomes the prime suspect.
With evidence mounting
against him, Madison is determined to prove her fiancé is innocent,
but what troubles her the most is that all of Troy’s friends from
that time are being picked off one by one. That means Troy might be
the killer’s next target, but it’s not just his life on the line
when she discovers the twisted killer is stalking her.
This
addictive heart-pounding crime thriller is perfect for fans of Angela
Marsons, Lisa Regan, and Leslie Wolfe.

My Review:
Murder at the Lake is the thirteenth book in the Detective Madison Knight series by Carolyn Arnold. I love how Carolyn Arnold’s books start with the murder but we don’t know who the killer is.
I like trying to figure out who the killer is. Murder at the Lake is filled with mystery and suspense that kept me glued to the pages chopping at the bit wondering who the killer was
I felt bad for Detective Madison Knight on her wedding day. Just as she is about to walk down the aisle the man she is marrying, Troy Matthews is arrested for murder. Troy is arrested for the murder of one of his friends.
Twenty-four years ago Troy and his friends were partying on the beach a girl was raped and murdered. They were celebrating graduating high school as well as going to college
One of their friends who was at the party that night was arrested and convicted for killing and rapping the girl. He was released the day Madison and Troy were to get married and Troy was arrested for murder.
Twenty-four years later Troy is being accused of what happened to that girl on the beach on that night long ago. Is Troy guilty or innocent? Is the guy who spent twenty-four years in prison guilty or innocent? What is going on here?
Murder at the Lake kept me guessing page after page. Just when I thought I was getting close to figuring it all out, another twist was thrown my way and I was back to trying again.
I love reading anything Carolyn Arnold writes. I am drawn into her stories from the first page and find myself lost in the world around me. The descriptions are so well written making it easy for me to lose myself in its story for the duration.
I highly recommend Murder at the Lake to all mystery fans! Grab a copy of Murder at the Lake today!
