The Murder on Watermark Lane

Autumn Rose grew up in Mt. Cleary, Missouri, watching both her parents serve on the local police force, so there was nothing short of her wanting to follow in their footsteps. Right after high school graduation, she headed to the police academy, the exact thing her parents never took her seriously and thought she would do. Autumn put everything into the academy and knew that she wanted to be a detective when she graduated. Little did Autumn know that dream wouldn’t come until thirteen years after becoming a part of the police force. She was thrilled to move on to the next adventure of her career but never did she think that she would be a part of the first double homicide in Mt. Cleary, and she would be the lead investigator.

Nerves were boiling over when she arrived at the scene that frigid cold day. Upon arrival at the scene, she encountered the homeowner, who was hysterical after just finding a dead body inside a home that she owns but is vacant. But one body was not all that was hidden inside the house; there was a second, perfectly poised in the corner of a bedroom like they were telling a story. Autumn knew that this investigation would be challenging, but she was determined to find the monster or monsters responsible for taking the lives of these individuals. She followed all leads that came in, but she never imagined that the monster responsible was not whom she thought it would be.
