Everyone in town thinks they know who killed their musical prodigy, but Riley Donovan will have the final say.

In Riley Donovan's last whodunit mystery, Alicia, a talented high school violinist, is found bludgeoned to death in a field on the outskirts of town. The small town's suspicion immediately falls on Carrie, the teen's musical rival. But Riley isn't convinced of Carrie's guilt, and even though her police-officer aunt tells her to stay out of it, Riley goes searching for the truth. Did Carrie really kill Alicia in a fit of jealous rage, or is there another explanation for Alicia's death?

ONE

I first got involved on the Saturday following the Wednesday that was ofﬁcially “the last time anyone saw the missing girl.” I got involved because of Charlie. It was a clear midautumn afternoon. Around Moorebridge, where I live, that means ﬁeld after brown ﬁeld cleared and prepped for winter.

We were on a road that hugged the perimeter of a stretch of forest north of town, we being Charlie, Ashleigh and, of course, me.

“You can’t be serious.” The aggrieved expression on Ashleigh’s face was a perfect match for her whiny tone of voice. She’d been complaining more or less all morning, which was starting to drive me crazy, and Charlie looked ready to strangle her. “What would she be doing way out here?” Charlie spoke through gritted teeth. “Someone might have seen her. They might have seen if she was with someone.” “At the Trading Post?” Ashleigh shook her head impatiently. “It’s possible,” Charlie said. “And the Pines—which, may I point out, closed for the season two weeks ago? Or Broom’s Corners, population ﬁftythree. Unless someone died recently.” “You can always turn back,” Charlie said. If I had to bet, I’d bet he was hoping she would. She didn’t. “Tell me again why we’re doing all this,” she said instead. “You know why we’re doing it.” Charlie is gener ally a Clark Kent type. Mild mannered. Even gentle. But not at that exact moment. He spoke slowly, through clenched teeth, as if he was trying to tamp
