A park ranger takes on a case close to home

Set in a Lake Michigan coastal village, this series opener brings together a threatened state park, a planned campground opening, and the discovery of a missing tourist’s body. Ranger Maudy Lorso is facing both professional uncertainty and the aftermath of a breakup when she turns her attention to solving the murder. The small-town details—steep dunes, a scruffy dog, and a Wednesday spaghetti tradition—give the mystery a distinct community setting, while the threatened park supplies Maudy with a personal stake in what happens next.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers who enjoy cozy mysteries featuring women sleuths.
  • For mystery fans drawn to small-town and state-park settings.

Book overview

2025 IngramSpark(R) Editorial Selection - Mystery/Thriller

 

The first installment in the bestelling Stone's Throw Mystery Series from Eloise Corvo.

 

Welcome to Stone's Throw: The dunes are steep, the beaches are breathtaking, the whole town eats spaghetti on Wednesdays, and the murders are cozy.

 

 

Stone's Throw State Park Ranger Maudy Lorso spends her days playing cards and sipping drinks with her millennial gal pals, hiking steep sand dunes with her scruffy dog, Martin Short, and trying to ignore the pain of a recent, devastating breakup. After building a quiet life in the Lake Michigan coastal village of Stone's Throw, Maudy's emotional safety net is turned inside out when her boss informs her of looming budget cuts that threaten to permanently close the park-and eliminate her job. Determined to prove the park's value, Maudy throws herself into organizing a successful campground opening weekend, just one week away. But when the body of a missing tourist is discovered in the park, her hope of saving Stone's Throw State Park quickly begins to fade. In order to save her dream job and maintain her quirky, quiet life, Maudy jumps in to solve the murder of the dead man.
