DEATH AT ECHO LAKE

​​Coming February 9, 2027

Balsam Bay is choosing its future.
Tilly Lafleur is about to uncover its past.

​

For generations, a Bugle has occupied the mayor’s chair in Balsam Bay. John Bugle expects this election to be no different—until a real challenger threatens the family’s hold on the town.

​

Then Agnes comes home.

​

Tilly’s mother’s closest friend left Balsam Bay decades ago, and she hasn’t come back for a quiet visit. She wants to see John Bugle lose. And she knows something about Kathleen’s death that Tilly has never heard.

​

Before Agnes can tell her, she is found dead at Echo Lake.

​

It looks natural. An older woman in poor health went for a walk and never came back.

​

But Tilly knows the ground. Agnes could never have made it there alone.

​

With her watchful dog Des at her side and her daughter Callie covering the election, Tilly begins pulling at the secrets Balsam Bay buried more than thirty years ago. Agnes’s death may finally reveal what happened to Kathleen.

​

But the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes:

​

Someone has spent thirty years making sure those secrets stay buried.

​

In Balsam Bay, it all comes back to Echo Lake.

​

Death at Echo Lake is the sixth and final book in the Tilly Lafleur Mysteries—a small-town cozy mystery series with real stakes, buried secrets, and page-turning twists.
