The Last Real Girl: A Mystery
Summary
When 17-year-old Reese first moved to the wealthy, lakeshore town of St. Clair over five years ago, she never expected someone like Charlotte Walters to take her under her wing. Charlotte is everything that Reese is not: rich, gorgeous, and carefree, living with her enigmatic older brother and her parents in a mansion at the top of the lake.
But when senior year starts, everything seems off. Reese notices that Charlotte's older brother Aiden keeps coming back from college to hang around on weekends, stoic and grim. And Charlotte's parents seem more distracted, almost lost. Meanwhile, Charlotte keeps insisting to Reese that nothing is wrong, and decides to host a Halloween party with the theme of "missing girls".
That night, at the party, Charlotte goes missing.
Everyone who attended becomes an instant suspect, from Charlotte's brother (who argued with Charlotte earlier that night), to Charlotte's field hockey teammate (who wasn't invited to the party in the first place), to Reese herself (who was the last person to see Charlotte alive, out near the lake).
With the clock ticking, Reese must unravel what happened to her best friend, and dig through the layers of secrets protecting people in St. Clair. Because now, being the quiet sidekick won't cut it. And maybe only an outsider to St. Clair can truly confront all of the town's dark mysteries.

A Scandal at Eastwick
Summary
When Lia returns home to St. Clair to regroup after a failed stint in Hollywood, she just wants to avoid seeing anyone from her past. But when her ex-boyfriend's mother, Paulette McKenzie, is blackmailed days after Lia's arrival, Lia finds herself the immediate suspect - and drawn back into the web of lies and secrets of St. Clair. After leaving St. Clair at age 18 to pursue her dreams in Hollywood, 29-year-old Lia Logan returns home with nothing but dozens of failed auditions under her belt. She's determined to lay low: a brief house-sitting gig over the holiday break will give her enough money to move east and find a new job (and a new life). But to Lia's horror, the owners of the house, the Eastwicks, have not canceled their annual holiday party - meaning Lia must now see everyone from her (now very successful) high school friends to the ex-boyfriend she dumped right before she left. The night turns into a disaster: Lia's ex-boyfriend's mother, Paulette McKenzie, is blackmailed at the party, and she immediately points the finger at Lia. The problem is, Lia does know a secret about Paulette. And there's no convincing the woman - or any of the other partygoers - that she had nothing to do with it. As the blackmail escalates, Lia must dig through the guests at the party to determine what each of them is hiding and piece together what exactly happened that night, including talking to Paulette's shifty older son, Lia's ex's extremely successful new girlfriend, and Lia's group of high school friends, who have been acting strangely distant and closed off. It doesn't take long for Lia to remember: St. Clair is a town full of secrets. And to clear her name, she’ll have to risk revealing one of her own. A Scandal at Eastwick is the second novel in the mystery trilogy The Eastwick Mansion Mysteries. Each novel is a complete standalone, featuring a different story taking place in the Eastwick mansion in St. Clair.
