@rachelamphlett.bsky.social, I just started reading MURDER IN THE LAKES. Thanks for letting me know it’s available.

⚡️📚💙
The words MURDER AT THE LAKE are at the top of the Kindle cover. The author’s name Rachel Amphlett is at the bottom. The graphics include a small house tucked in a valley. It is surrounded by green grass and trees. There’s a lake beyond the house and large hills or mountains surrounding the lake. The sky is blue.

“Murder in the Lakes is a fresh twist to the classic whodunnit and is a smart puzzler with a personable protagonist”

Many thanks, @easthullpete.bsky.social - a lovely review for publication day! 📚💙

Wouldn’t it be sensible if AI companies paid to use our work in a similar way to how libraries do via PLR? Easy solution, and everyone benefits…

Cover Reveal: Murder In The Lakes by Rachel Amphlett
I love Rachel Amphlett's books. I've been hooked since I heard her on a panel at Crimefest and decided to dive into the Dan taylor series, and have not looked back since. A new book is always something to look forward to. So, imagine my delight at hearing that this is exactly what we are being treated to this year - a brand new thriller featuring Private Investigator Melody Harper.
