The Vanishing Vacation Victim

A Grace Thompson Cozy Mystery - Book 8

By: Ginger Ellington

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A lakeside festival, a pampered pup… and a murder that feels like it’s been written before.

Grace Thompson and her friends arrive at Otter’s Cove for the Paws & Paddles Festival, ready for a weekend of pet parades and sunshine. But when the elegant Margot Wexley is found floating in Magnolia Lake—her death mirroring a scene from local author Penelope Crane’s latest mystery—the cheerful event takes a dark turn.

With a flirty veterinarian, a hot-headed volunteer, and a husband hiding secrets, the suspects are as tangled as the festival ribbons. Grace and her team must piece together the clues before the killer slips away, leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and a frightened little Chihuahua.

The Paws & Paddles Festival was meant to celebrate pets and community—but one wrong move, and the murderer will vanish as quietly as they struck.
