Description
Marguerite Osley has been the social heart of Lakeside Pines for eleven years. She organizes the charity auctions, leads the welcome committee, and always seems to know exactly who needs a casserole delivered and who needs a quiet word. Everyone trusts her. That is precisely the problem.
When the colony’s annual fundraiser comes up several thousand dollars short and the books simply refuse to balance, suspicion falls on the one person nobody wants to suspect. As the investigation quietly unfolds among knitting circles and lakefront walks, old friendships begin to strain and a second secret threatens to surface.
Friendly Fraud is a warm and wryly observed mystery about the fine line between loyalty and blindness, and the particular danger of the person who makes herself indispensable.
