In the Beautiful Dark: A Novel by Melissa Payne
Over 450 5-Star Reviews!
A woman investigates her friend’s long-ago murder in a haunting and hopeful novel about the weight of secrets and regrets from the bestselling author of The Wild Road Home and A Light in the Forest.
At Sunny Pines Retirement Community, where the “Sixty-Two and Better!” spend their golden years, secrets abound—some scandalous, some dangerous. For Birdie Allen, grandmother and retired business owner, the hardest part of aging isn’t her body—it’s living with memories of her first love’s death and the unsolved crime she abandoned decades ago.
When a string of new murders shakes Sunny Pines and a woman vanishes, Birdie is pulled back into the chase she once gave up. This time, she has an eccentric band of neighbors at her side—and the watchful presence of restless souls, including the man she once loved.
As danger closes in, Birdie must face her past to solve the mystery. But will unmasking a killer free her at last—or cost her the life she’s built along the way?
