Auras Of Deceit: A Trivolity Cozy Mystery

by Lake Norman Writers Guild

When a murder mystery party in the exclusive Trivolity active adult community turns deadly, two retired investigators team up to find the killer. They uncover a web of blackmail, jealousy, and secrets hiding beneath the manicured lawns and polite smiles of their quirky neighbors. With a rising body count and a murderer on the loose, they must untangle the truth before another resident checks out permanently.

About the Authors

Lake Norman Writers Guild is a group of authors living in a North Carolina Active Adult Community. As a lark, they thought it would be fun to write a cozy mystery together. One that takes place in a community just like theirs, but not exactly.
