A father vanishes on a quiet lake. The police call it an accident-his daughter knows better.
Tilly Lafleur didn't come home to solve a mystery. She returned to Balsam Bay after her father's sudden disappearance expecting grief-not a dog she didn't ask for, a local businessman dead at the summer social, or a town divided over plans to reopen its long-abandoned gold mine.
With her search and rescue instincts kicking in, Tilly starts digging. As she juggles running her father's general store, dodging nosy neighbours, and navigating the rising tension in town, she must decide who she can trust-and how far she's willing to go for the truth.
Set in Manitoba's Whiteshell region, this atmospheric cozy mystery blends small-town secrets, family dynamics, and a hint of wilderness. It's perfect for readers who enjoy twisty plots, quirky side characters, and a loyal dog with a nose for trouble.
Death at Balsam Bay is the first book in the Tilly Lafleur Mysteries series-a compelling debut that will appeal to fans of amateur sleuths, gold mine mysteries, and stories where the past refuses to stay buried.
