A Death in Door County

De: Annelise Ryan

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

A Wisconsin bookstore owner and cryptozoologist is asked to investigate a series of deaths that just might be proof of a fabled lake monster in this first installment of a new mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Annelise Ryan.

Morgan Carter, owner of the Odds and Ends bookstore in Door County, Wisconsin, has a hobby. When she’s not tending the store, she’s hunting cryptids—creatures whose existence is rumored, but never proven to be real. It’s a hobby that cost her parents their lives, but one she’ll never give up on.

So when a number of bodies turn up on the shores of Lake Michigan with injuries that look like bites from a giant unknown animal, police chief Jon Flanders turns to Morgan for help. A skeptic at heart, Morgan can’t turn down the opportunity to find proof of an entity whose existence she can’t definitively rule out. She and her beloved rescue dog, Newt, journey to the Death's Door strait to hunt for a homicidal monster in the lake—but if they’re not careful, they just might be its next victims.

5 stars

This is a well written cozy mystery with well developed characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book.

Great mystery

My husband and I liked this story very much as it made locales in Door County WI come to life as the setting for a well designed mystery. Morgan, the central character, is interesting, intelligent, highly curious, and lucky to have survived the story.
We hope she keeps up her good work!

I loved it!

What a wonderful cozy mystery. I loved everything about it - the setting, the protagonist, the dog! I’ll be reading all the Monster Mystery books Annelise Ryan writes ❤️

An excellent new series!

I have always enjoyed Annalise Ryan but this new series is really her best. Can’t wait for the next one.
