The Smalltown Sleuths & The Perfect Murder

By: Lucy Lemon

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two women. One quiet town. And a death everyone wants forgotten.

Freshly divorced and searching for a fresh start, Maureen and Liz bond over daily walks through the charming town of Greenacre. It’s supposed to be peaceful. Predictable. Safe.

Until a respected local man is found dead by the lake—and the town is far too eager to call it an accident.

As whispers spread and evidence quietly disappears, Maureen’s sharp instincts and Liz’s emotional insight uncover a disturbing truth: this wasn’t a tragic collapse. It was a violent moment buried under silence, favors, and fear. And the wrong man is being pushed to take the blame.

The closer they get to the truth, the more Greenacre turns against them.

Because in a town built on secrets, asking questions can be dangerous.

The Smalltown Sleuths & The Perfect Murder is a gripping first book about friendship, reinvention, and refusing to look away.

Good plot; likable characters.

Didn’t Like: Comes off preachy throughout; a little dialogue goes a long way re: religion and politics. The digital voice responses poorly carried over the emphasis in the appropriate way at several points.
Did Like: The characters are very likable, and the plots believable.
