Readers will delight in getting to know Rylie in this funny and adventurous story. “Change is everywhere. Change is frightening. Change is exciting.

The suburbs of Seattle and the surrounding communities around Lake Washington are a dynamic backdrop for MALICIOUS MISCIEF. "Great mysteries have no less than three things in common: they puzzle the reader with clever twists and turns, they gladden the hearts with satisfying characters, and they take the reader on a journey to memorable places," explains Harden. "I put forward in Malicious Mischief my world: the stunning Pacific Northwest."
