On the shores of Lake Michigan, influencer Maddy Montgomery has turned the bakery she inherited from her great aunt Octavia into a destination. There’s just one thing she won’t post: the body in the freezer . . .

Thanks to Maddy’s social media savvy, Baby Cakes Bakery is becoming a huge success—so much so that she’s attracted the attention of her former nemesis, the fiancé-stealing Brandy Denton. When Brandy blows into New Bison like an ill wind and disrupts a vlog Maddy’s filming, their argument goes viral. After Brandy’s body is found in the freezer at Baby Cakes, Maddy instantly goes from viral sensation to murder suspect.

As Maddy is still reeling from the murder, a stranger shows up in the bakery claiming to have been a friend of Octavia. He believes Maddy is in danger. When a second body washes up on the lake shore, it seems clear someone’s out to kill to keep a secret—and it may have to do with her great aunt.

Maddy rallies her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars; Sheriff April Johnson; and her veterinarian boyfriend Michael—not to mention her English mastiff Baby—to do some digging and root out whoever’s behind the killings . . .

Release Day! The Tarnished Son

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

Hello, Readers!

If you enjoy domestic dramas and young adult novels, The Tarnished Son is for you. My new release is available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Order the eBook for 99 cents through August 31, 2024!

The Tarnished Son

“This is a nice, quiet town with good people. Things like that don’t happen around here.”

But they do.

In THE TARNISHED SON, a tourist’s death, an alluring young teacher, a father’s carnal desires, and a stepdaughter’s vendetta ultimately destroy a village dynasty.

The respected Clark family has governed Williams Bay since 1837. On a hot August day, seventeen-year-old Liam causes a tragic boating accident. What happens next—infidelity, drugs, theft, and more—deepens long-hidden cracks in the family’s façade, exposing their secrets and tarnishing their golden image.

Meet the family:

William Sr., the grandfather who rules the family and the village with an iron fist

Hank, the father who lets temptations lead him on a path of self-destruction

Liam, the shining son who gets away with everything

Rose, the stepdaughter who has had enough and pushes the whole house down

Grab some popcorn and watch the destruction unfold in Elizabeth McKenna’s unpredictable family drama!

Read Chapter 1

Note: I write both clean and naughty novels. The Tarnished Son is a naughty one. It contains mild profanity (no F-bombs), drug use, infidelity, and sexually suggestive scenes (nothing graphic).

“I expected this book to take me a couple days, but I could not put it down…This book is all about conflict—and how each character handles it…Perhaps there are other similar premises, but the setting of the book, the accident on the lake, the family structure, and power stood on their own. This book was unique because of its characters.” ~ USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller

“I could not guess where the story was going, and I found the plot to be interesting and dramatic, but also believable.” ~ Lacy Challe, beta reader

“The book caught my attention really quick, and I found myself invested in the story right away.” ~ Kathleen Fossum, beta reader

“I am a fan of thrillers and books that keep you guessing. While this book laid everything out very plainly you couldn’t tell the true course it would take on its windy road through multiple narrators and impactful events. Everyone in the book had flaws, making the characters fairly realistic though they live in a society I most certainly do not. It was not a difficult read and I found it enjoyable.” ~ Goodreads

“This was a super quick and easy read for me! The plot was interesting and well written with many unique characters. I didn’t know what to expect when going into the book, but definitely ended up enjoying it!” ~ Goodreads

“A steady paced, suspenseful drama. This was well written and easy to read. Intriguing and heartbreaking.” ~ Goodreads

“This was a wonderful book. Each chapter brings another twist or an unexpected turn of events. Each character surprises you throughout the book. You think you know them and then wow, you really don’t. If you love a book that is filled with twists, turns and interesting characters this is the one for you! It is one you will not be able to put down!” ~ Goodreads

Moved to Murder: A Vivien Brandt Mystery
by Gianetta Murray

About Moved to Murder


Moved to Murder: A Vivien Brandt Mystery
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Setting – South Yorkshire, England
Publisher ‏ : ‎ Troubador Publishing Ltd (June 5, 2024)
Print length ‏ : ‎ 266 pages
Digital ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0CXJB9KVH

Vivien Brandt (forty-something editor, librarian, and future interior designer extraordinaire) has spent decades dreaming about a life in England, and thanks to her marriage to second husband Geoffrey, her dreams are finally coming true. She and her cat Sydney (who is considerably less excited about leaving the warmth of California) are the newest inhabitants of a cosy South Yorkshire village.

But as Vivien meets the locals – including the vicar, a charismatic politician, and a pair of troubled teenagers – she finds she still has a lot to learn about her new home. Especially after she discovers a body in it.

Now she must work with her neighbor Hayley and a somewhat mistrustful police inspector to uncover the village’s secrets and find a killer. Preferably, before the killer finds her.

Because it seems when the chips (crisps?) are down, the only common language between America and Britain… is murder.

About Gianetta Murray

Like her protagonist, Gianetta is California-raised and moved to England twenty years ago after marrying her British husband. She has worked as a technical writer, knowledge manager, and librarian in both countries and is currently owned by two cats who are unimpressed by her accomplishments but willing to tolerate her in return for food.
