Nothing bad ever happens in the picture-perfect town of Willowyck—except for an occasional murder. Sam Hernandez finally has his dream team of investigators under one roof: Retired homicide detectives Adam Trent, Bo Whitney, and Samantha Hernandez-Whitney are joined by Sam’s old partner from the ATF, Keisha Livingston.

K-9 officer Kate Marlin and super-nerd computer geek Lester Pennyworth are the newest members joining Hernandez Security and Investigations. But following errant spouses, serving process on new lawsuits, and other HSI business are put on hold when a dead body is found in one of the elegant homes in Willowyck.

Sam’s dream team must work together to unravel a carefully thought-out and well-organized murder with an endless suspect list and clues that lead nowhere. Real estate agents, newlyweds, a firefighter, a psychic, a nosy neighbor, a retired coroner, an elderly woman, an observant librarian, and a timid rescue dog weave a web of mystery for the team as they try to connect the dots and solve a murder before more lives are lost.

Can they solve the strange and gruesome murder? How do the Sherwood Forest fires fit in?Join Laine’s detectives as they search for a dangerous killer in The Burning of Sherwood Forest, her eighth mystery novel in the Missouri Mysteries series. .
