Hidden Moon, by Lori Handeland

3.0

Claire Kennedy left Lake Bluff GA for a career in journalism in Atlanta. After being raped, she returns to Lake Bluff to hide out and recover. She ends up as mayor by default because her father died in office and the Town Council asks her to fill out his term. Her former best friend is the police chief, so Claire and Grace McDaniel are buy trying to organize and run the annual Lake Bluff Hidden Moon Festival. Claire's assistant, Joyce, has hired a troop of gypsies to entertain the festival but there is much more to these gypsies than meeets the eye. Their leader is Malachi Cartwright and he makes Claire think of the spring rain. But who is killing tourists in Lake Bluff? As an eclipse nears, the hidden moon may reveal more secrets than the town wants to know.
