    Olivia Lockhart-Griffin 
    Cedar Cove, Washington 

    Dear Reader, 

    Believe it or not, we have another mystery in Cedar Cove! This one, ironically enough, involves the McAfees—Roy, who’s a private investigator, and his wife, Corrie. They’ve been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if they "regret the past." Corrie says she has no idea what any of it means…. 

    On a more positive note, they’re both delighted that their daughter, Linnette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. And when Corrie attended the humane society’s "Dog and Bachelor Auction," she bought Linnette a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding’s horse farm. Unfortunately, Linnette seems less enthusiastic about this than Corrie is. 

    Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that’s only one of the many interesting stories here in town. Corrie’s invited you and me for a coffee at the McAfee house—that’s 50 Harbor Street—and we’ll tell you everything we know!

    On a hot summer day in 1980, the secret passions and jealousies that linked Candy and Betty exploded into murderous rage. What happened next is usually the stuff of fiction. But the bizarre and terrible act of violence that occurred in Betty’s utility room that morning was all too real.
     
    Based on exclusive interviews with the Gore and Montgomery families, Evidence of Love is the “superbly written” account of a gruesome tragedy and the trial that made national headlines when the defendant entered the most unexpected of pleas: not guilty by reason of self-defense…
