A Death in Door County by Annelise Ryan


 So many of us follow the fall colors, watching the lush greens change day by day painting the world with soft brown, orange, and beige.  This magic foliage show stands out as one of the highlights Door County has to offer us.  That and miles of shoreline for sea glass searching, campgrounds, hiking trials and of course limitless shopping and eating.

Now let's add a monster and a murder to that list.  Since I haven't quite finished the book yet...here's the info from the inside flap...

Morgan Carter, owner of the Odds and Ends bookstore in Door County, Wisconsin, has a hobby. When she's not tending the store, she's hunting cryptids - creatures whose existence is rumored but never proven to be real. It's a hobby that cost her parents their lives but one she'll never give up on.

So when a number of bodies turn up on the shores of Lake Michigan with injuries that look like bites from a giant unknown animal, police chief Jon Flanders turns to Morgan for help. A skeptic at heart, Morgan can't turn down the opportunity to find proof of an entity whose existence she can't definitely rule out.  She and her beloved rescue dog, Newt, journey to the strait known as Death's Door to hunt for a homicidal monster in the lake, but if they're not careful, she just might be its next victim.

A tag line on the binding says "A monster Hunter mystery."  Could that mean Morgan survives to solve another Door County mystery?

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay happy.
