Intrepid event planner Liv Montgomery discovers something fishy going on beneath her small town's deceptively calm surface in this Celebration Bay novella.
Liv Montgomery knew that asking Celebration Bay's newspaper owner-slash-ne'er-do-well Chaz Bristow to teach her how to fish meant angling for more than a lesson in sinkers and chum. Like asking him to spearhead the fund raiser that'll benefit the town's community center. And there are worse ways to spend the afternoon than out on the town's picturesque lake.

But it's not long before Liv reels in a huge catch-already quite dead. It's the body of an unknown man, and it was no accidental drowning. This floater was murdered. While local authorities investigate, it's Liv and Chaz who stumble upon a shocking motive, and become live bait for a ruthless killer determined to keep his secrets down in the deep.

Includes exclusive excerpts of the Celebration Bay mystery, Trick or Deceit, and A Gilded Grave, the first book in Shelley Freydont's new Newport Gilded Age Mystery series.
