Murder, She Wrote

A thrilling, modern update of the classic mystery TV series that's perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl. Bea Fletcher has always been a true-crime enthusiast like her great-aunt Jessica, the famous mystery writer. And like Jess, Bea is obsessed with unsolved murders in her small town of Cabot Cove, Maine. But when her estranged best friend Jackson goes missing just as they are about to reconcile, it looks like this time the mystery is personal. Instead of finding Jackson at their prearranged meeting spot, Bea stumbles upon three students from the elite Broadmoor Academy: overly-friendly and slightly vicious Leisl, her aloof twin brother Leif, and Carlos who knows more about Jackson than he's letting on. Not only are they more worldly - and more secretive - than anyone Bea knows at Cabot Cove High, the trio is big on playing games. Head games, Bea soon learns, like prying into her history, Jackson's mental health, and a string of teens who've disappeared without a trace. But also games like tenace, the hush-hush Broadmoor tradition where anything or anyone can be a clue to future fame and fortune, and players will stop at nothing - including murder - to get ahead. Then one of the missing teens turns up dead, and if Bea wants to find Jackson before he becomes another body, she too must join the game and play to win. Everyone in Cabot Cove has secrets, and it's up to Bea to ferret them out and find the killer before it's too late in this thrilling modern update of the classic television show.

Small town murders. Big time thrills. The second installment in the suspenseful, modern update of the classic mystery TV series. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl. "Someone knows where you live. And whoever they are, they want you to know…you're next." Bea Fletcher never met a cold case she didn't want to solve. So when she finds herself staying with family near Lake Paloma, she's torn. Sure, she's not thrilled to be bunking with her moody, taciturn uncle and his wife while her father's out of town. Being away from Cabot Cove means less time for Bea to work on her true crime blog, visit her great-aunt Jessica, and spend time with new friends Leisl, Leif, and Carlos and the mysterious underground treasure hunting game they've been playing. But Lake Paloma has mysteries of its own, including the unsolved drowning of teenaged Eden Vicente the year before. And when Bea starts to ask questions about Eden's death, the answers lead her closer to home than she ever imagined. If Bea isn't careful, she could be the next girl to end up at the bottom of the lake. And underwater, no one can hear you scream...

Small town murders. Big time thrills. The final installment in the suspenseful, modern update of the classic mystery TV series. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl. "What does it mean if our own sense of right and wrong isn't enough to keep us from committing the unspeakable?" When Beatrice Fletcher joins her father on a work trip to the University of New Mexico, she knows she's sacrificing time with her friends back in Cabot Cove trying to solve the last clue of an enigmatic game they've been playing. Yet it's worth it if it means she can interview celebrated film studies professor William Vance, whose newest documentary touches on a murderous cult, a misdirected bombing, and a tragedy from Bea's mother's childhood. But when a string of poisonings targets girls in Vance's film program, Bea has more to worry about than ancient family history. Someone knew she was coming to campus and why. And now that she's insinuated herself into the students' circle, could she be next on the hit list? Like her great aunt Jessica, Bea will need cunning and logic to get to the bottom of the attacks and figure out what all of it has to do with the game back home. And time is running out...
