The Summer of Love and Death

“An old case has repercussions on a new copycat killing in this excellent police procedural. With juicy twists, an engaging cast, and an intriguing case that’s impossible to predict, The Summer of Love and Death is everything I want in a mystery. An addictive and entertaining ride!” —Christina McDonald, USA Today Bestselling Author

“Fans of Agatha Christie will die for this smart, twisty tale of two parallel murders. Intricately plotted, with a motley cast of characters and dialogue that pops, this is one to savor.” —Susan Walter, Bestselling author of Lie By The Pool

"Past meets present as you're immersed into the authentic, gritty world of a murder during Woodstock and a copycat killing decades later. With likable main characters, witty dialogue, and a slew of suspects, expect to be immediately drawn into this compelling whodunnit.” —Jaime Lynn Hendricks, bestselling author of I Didn't Do It

“Murder takes center stage in this Christie-inspired stunner that fuses thriller plotting with a character-driven mystery. The Ford Family detective series never misses the mark, and with The Summer of Love and Death, McCreary delivers another ovation-worthy read." —Tessa Wegert, author of Devils at the Door

“Vividly set in the Catskills, The Summer of Love and Death is excellent fun, chock full of murder, theater, and a diverse and devious cast of suspects.”  —Emilya Naymark, author of Behind The Lie

“A fiendishly smart modern whodunnit with clever characters and a mystery that keeps you guessing. McCreary is a gifted writer who has created a page-turning mystery that will keep you up all night—then just when you think you’ve figured it out—you discover how wrong you are. Bravo!”  —Elise Hart Kipness, author of Lights Out

“McCreary unspools a lot of threads in The Summer of Love and Death, then masterfully weaves them all together for an ending you won't see coming. It's a fun ride that kept me guessing the whole time!” —Tony Wirt, Bestselling author of Just Stay Away

“A compelling mystery that unfolds in two skillfully woven parallel narratives. McCreary pairs a haunting meditation on intergenerational trauma with an evocative rendering of that famous Summer of Love to deliver a suspenseful and deeply satisfying read.” —Lori Robbins, author of Murder in Fourth Position

"The Summer of Love and Death is an engrossing, clever, and propulsive read. While this is book three in the series, you do not have to be familiar with the previous two books to understand the characters, so readers should have no problem picking this up and falling in love with Detective Susan Ford. McCreary's expert character development, web-weaving, and storytelling abilities shine. Add this to your TBRs now! —Mandy McHugh, bestselling author of It Takes Monsters
