STILL WATERS（ISBN=） 英文原版

The deepest waters hide the darkest secrets…. When the body of
a murdered man literally falls at Elizabeth Stuart’s feet, she’s
able to wash away the blood–but not the terror. Unwelcome
newcomers to Still Creek, Minnesota, she and her troubled teenage
son are treated with suspicion by the locals, including the
sheriff. Yet nothing will stop her from digging beneath the town’s
placid surface for the truth–except the killer. Running from a
messy divorce, Elizabeth believed buying a small-town newspaper
offered a fresh start for herself and her son. But idyllic Still
Creek, nestled in the heart of lush Amish farmlands, hides secrets
dangerous enough to push someone to commit murder. Now Elizabeth
must risk everything to save herself and her son, and to unmask the
killer…before the current of evil flowing through Still Creek
drags her under. When Elizabeth Stuart searched for a quiet,
peaceful home for herself and her son, Still Creek seemed perfect.
Nestled in the heart of lush Amish farmlands, this small, idyllic
Minnesota town would allow her to put a shattering divorce behind
her. But the locals were noticeably cool to the newcomer–who was
rumored to be a gold-digger–especially when she started stirring
up controversy with her newspaper. And now when a murdered body
literally falls at her feet, she has a slight credibility
problem…particularly with the arrogant sheriff whose blue eyes
seem to know her darkest secrets. An ex-pro athlete who had
returned to Still Creek a hero, Sheriff Dane Jantzen doesn’t have
much use for the media–especially not in the form of this
glamorous, gutsy outsider who spells trouble with every word she
prints. So when she becomes his suspect in a vicious crime, the
last thing Dane expects is the jolt of attraction at their every
encounter. Elizabeth would soon challenge Dane’s every assumption,
including the one that he’s better off without love. But as they
risk everything to uncover the truth, the current of evil that
contaminates Still Creek threatens to pull them both under…
