Review by Sneha Ahuja, Book Reviewer | Literary Influencer | Content Creator - originally posted on LinkedIn
Mackinac Murder is the kind of mystery that starts off calm and cozy, and then, you’re knee-deep in secrets, lies, and murder. A maintenance supervisor dies in what’s supposed to be a horse-riding “accident.” But reporter Nick Steele? He’s not buying it, and honestly, neither will you once the clues start piling up.
Nick heads to Mackinac Island, you know, that picture-perfect tourist spot, and suddenly it’s less about fudge and ferry rides, more about cover-ups and blackmail. The deeper he digs, the darker it gets. Every lead opens another can of shady secrets, and it’s a total page-turner.
What makes this story click is the mix of mystery and newsroom hustle. Nick’s not just chasing a story, he’s chasing the truth, and he’s ready to tick off a few powerful people to get it. It’s got that classic investigative thriller vibe with a modern, fast-paced punch.
The whole thing unravels into a high-stakes blackmail plot that’ll have you side-eyeing everyone. Dave Vizard serves suspense, smart writing, and just the right dose of small-town drama.
