Murder has a way of bringing people together…

Harriet Baker thought that when she left Logan Island, she was leaving for good. But after getting fired from her dream magazine job, she finds herself stuck back in the sleepy New Jersey beach town living with her eccentric mother and desperate to escape.

And her ticket out might be…murder?

When Harriet's extravagant birthday party ends with a dead body, all fingers point to Sara Allbright, the troublesome sister of none other than Nic, Harriet's short-lived fling from years ago that she's been eager to forget. And the feeling is entirely mutual. But murder makes for a good story, and when Harriet is told that she can get her old job back if she writes an article uncovering what really happened the night of her party, she readily agrees. To write her piece, Harriet will need Nic's full cooperation, and if Nic wants to clear his sister's name, he'll need Harriet's investigative skills. But working together? That's less than ideal.

As the two team up to find the real killer, they'll uncover the dark underbelly of their seemingly perfect hometown, uncover long buried feelings, and maybe, just maybe, realize that they might work well together after all.

Praise for It Happened One Murder

It Happened One Murder is a fast-paced enemies-to-lovers whodunit perfect for fans of Elise Bryant and Ally Carter. I love Liz Lawson's young adult books, and I'm thrilled she's writing adult now. Don't miss this delightful blend of romance and mystery!

Gloria Chao, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club

It Happened One Murder made my heart race for two reasons: the twisty murder mystery and the hot romance at its core. A delicious blend of thrills.

Bellamy Rose, author of Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder

Take one plucky heroine, add a heart-throb of a hero, throw in a dead body or two, and you have the fast-paced ride that is Liz Lawson’s It Happened One Murder. Fun, flirty, and with just the right amount of mystery to keep you reading late into the night, this book straddles a perfect line between intrigue and romance. I can't wait to see where Lawson's talent takes us next!
