Moon Lake Hate: Ghost Trouble, Witch Rescue
You’ll get dizzy maneuvering the twists and turns of this Murder Mystery.
The face of the man retired investigative reporter Elle Collins hadn’t meant to kill shows up at the most inopportune moments. She’s wrestling with a decision she doesn’t know how to make. The last thing she needs to see is his face.
That’s not totally true. Deciding isn’t hard. Committing is. Should she go back to her old life as a reporter or forge ahead on her path as a business owner and genealogist. She’s already booked the gig and bought the land. Both paths are lined with bodies. And ghosts—some friendly, some bossy, some just plain hateful.
Rafe Peters has had quite a year. He lost his wife to cancer a few months ago. The cost of her treatments nearly destroyed his family farm. A farm he would gladly lose if he could bring her back in good health. Then he learns his many greats grandmother was a witch. A real witch. And she wants him to continue her legacy. And find a new life with Elle Collins, his old flame.
Elle’s ghost grandmother wants the same union. Trouble is Elle and Rafe need to resolve their past while someone is killing farmers and ranchers. Together with the help of family and friends, they’ll have to solve the murders and speed toward a Thriller ending.
Take the women from the “Big Valley”, stir with the witches of “Bewitched’, add a little “Ghost and Mrs. Muir” and coat with a modern flair. The women of the Moon Lake Supernatural Cozy Mystery series appear. Something for everyone: Western, Sweet Romance, sharp-shooting amateur detective women sleuths, Genealogy, A Psychic, Ghosts, and Witches.
Q&A:
Where is Moon Lake, Indiana?
The fictional Midwestern village is located about 15 minutes south of South Bend, Indiana. According to fictional legend, a natural portal between “Reality” and “The Spirit World” formed when The Creator placed a bear statue where the Native American Indians and the first settlers of Moon Lake held an enormous celebration in The Creator’s honor. Since that time ghosts, spirits, angels, and witches have been able to travel easily between the two worlds. Each time a traveler passes through the portal, a piece of magic clings to their soul and deposits itself in the surrounding area. Sounds good, right? Think innovative technology without instructions.
What is the Moon Lake Cozy Mystery series?
First off, all the books in the series are PG-13. Most are G. They feature strong, powerful, small business women developing their powers while playing amateur sleuth to save their community, friends, and family.
What is the mood of the Moon Lake Cozy Mystery series?
Great fun, a lot mystery, light paranormal and supernatural, a little bit western, a tad sweet romance, a moral to every story. Pioneer values with a modern twist.

Axel is a great character even if he is a bobcat.
Wonderful. Another Collins takes centre stage. As a reporter she has had many a close shave but none closer than the one that killed a man. This is brought to the forefront when someone starts attacking farmers, using arson and the common denominator is her. Is someone stalking her and why. Add in the fact that she still has feelings for her first love (who is now a widower) and her fear of commitment or is it really a fear that she will be let down again. A great read and the bobcat is a real winner. Bossy and a bit of a know it all but a great one to have in your cobber when faced with danger. Remember these really aren't standalone as one book leads to another except for book 1.
