A small-town mystery where saving her child means becoming the most wanted woman in town. The only way to save her son is to run. Harper Knowles, a well-known TV news anchor, is used to delivering the news-not becoming the headline herself. But when her marriage crumbles, her child is kidnapped, her husband vanishes, and she's accused of murder, Harper finds herself at the centre of a terrifying mystery. With the evidence piling up against her, Harper takes a bold step and escapes, determined to clear her name and find her son. Her search leads her to the quaint, secluded town of Loblolly, where a surprising reunion might hold the key to solving the puzzle. But in a place where everyone has their own hidden stories, can Harper trust the friendly faces around her? With the authorities closing in, Harper is willing to risk everything-her career, her freedom, and even her life-to uncover the truth and bring her child home. Because in a small town, secrets never stay buried for long. The River House Inn is Book 3 in the Loblolly series. Perfect for readers who love Louise Penny and M.C. Beaton, with a missing child, a woman on the run, and small-town secrets. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Loblolly series:? ? ? ? ?
