I make a quick stop at the condo, Ellie lets me in and then I swing by the book emporium for something special. Ellie had informed me there is a new murder mystery book out that Ava is dying to get her hands on. It just released a week ago, and she hasn’t had a payday to splurge.

Something is scribbled across it in Rachel's handwriting.

Literally on an island with no neighbors in sight. Who in the world would deliberately want to live such a solitary life? Honestly, I can’t wait to find out. But here’s the thing: the closer we get to the mansion, something weird keeps happening in my stomach. It could be nervousness—mostly is—but there’s something else.
