Some memories are impossible to forget. Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When Maiden Harlow attends her high school reunion, she expects awkward conversations, familiar faces, and a trip down memory lane. Instead, the evening ends in murder.

The victim is one of her former classmates—and one of the school’s most notorious bullies. Almost everyone has a reason to hate her, but when Maiden’s best friend becomes the prime suspect, she refuses to let an innocent person take the blame.

As Maiden begins uncovering forgotten rivalries, buried scandals, and years of simmering resentment, her extraordinary memory reveals connections others have overlooked. But every answer brings her closer to a killer who has spent years planning the perfect revenge.

Captain David McAlister knows the past can cloud people’s judgment, yet he also knows Maiden’s instincts are rarely wrong. Together, they must untangle a web of lies before another victim pays the price.

Because some people never let go of the past.

Pretty Little Princesses is the third novel in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a dark cozy mystery series featuring small-town secrets, clever clues, slow-burn romance, and twist-filled investigations.

Return to Golden Glen, where old wounds have a way of becoming deadly.
