In BOULDER POINT, the second novel of the Merrill Connor Mystery series, podcaster/criminologist Merrill Connor returns, but this time the crime she investigates hits very close to home. Multiple suspects and plot twists abound, but with the help of her faithful podcast fans, input from her friends at their Thursday night roundtables, and some mystical clues from the Afterlife delivered by a Lily Dale medium, Merrill goes in determined pursuit of the perpetrator.

"Madar’s fourth novel weaves an intriguing tale of unrequited love, personal loss, psychic contacts, and murder."

Retired and widowed librarian Merrill Connor is ready to fade quietly into the sunset. But her persistent friends refuse to let her give up on life. Because of their belief in her, she reinvents herself as a podcaster who eventually gains a passionate fan base. With her audience spurring her on, she resurrects the cold case of a local woman who vanished 20 years before. Merrill's "deeper dive" into that mystery turns into a nightmare when her research leads her into the direct path of a killer.
