A Taste of What’s Beneath the Surface

Something happened at Lake Tawakoni.

Something quiet.

Something brutal.

In Teardrops of Lake Tawakoni, David & Loretta Smitty step into a case that doesn’t scream—it whispers. The lake holds its secrets close. The locals speak in half-truths. And the evidence? It’s buried in grief, silence, and something colder than water.

This isn’t just a murder mystery. It’s a descent. Into memory. Into motive. Into the kind of truth that doesn’t want to be found.
