See descriptions of the first two books and their paperback covers below. In the third story, Emily Gray goes to interview elderly Stella Lessard and finds her dead on the floor of her historic home. Emily’s newspaper article about the missing heir to Stella's estate draws two young women with identical birth certificates to the lakeside town of Baxter—both claiming to be Stella's only granddaughter. Nate Holman puts his sanity in jeopardy when he tries to defuse the tension between the claimants. The mystery thickens when the medical examiner announces Stella was murdered. Emily's nose for news takes her into intrigue she never expected. Which is the impostor—Jette, the multi-pierced "Goth" girl, or Jeanette, the genteel "girl-next-door"?

**Due to some reconfiguration at the publishing house, Impostors at Blue Heron Lake did not appear as a single title in paperback, but is available in both the paperback anthology and the large print hardcover edition.
