Two Bodies Are Better Than One (Lorraine Highsmith Mysteries)

by Erica Ruth Neubauer
(Paperback – March 1, 2026)

Set in the late 1980s in the quiet lakeside town of Sheboygan Bay, this darkly witty mystery introduces readers to Lorraine Highsmith — a sharp-tongued advice columnist with a past she’d rather keep buried.

When Lorraine wakes up one morning to discover a dead body on her front lawn, the peaceful town is suddenly thrown into chaos. Detective Michaela “Mike” Zenoni, eager to prove herself in a male-dominated police department, takes charge of the investigation. But Lorraine isn’t content to stay on the sidelines — her curiosity, and perhaps her fear, push her to dig into the mystery herself.

What no one suspects is that Lorraine once had ties to organized crime — connections she thought she had left behind. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the murder may not be random at all, but possibly linked to Lorraine’s hidden past.

As Lorraine and Detective Zenoni reluctantly work toward the truth, alliances shift and secrets surface. In a town where everyone seems harmless, danger lurks beneath the surface — and Lorraine must uncover the truth before her past catches up with her for good.

Blending dark humor, small-town intrigue, and a touch of noir, Two Bodies Are Better Than One launches a gripping new mystery series filled with secrets, suspense, and unexpected twists.
