Death on Lake Michigan is a mystery set in a glamorous town on the shore of Lake Michigan in the summer of ’73. Mike O’Brien, once the crusading editor of the Michigan State News, now the assistant editor of the Gull Haven Observer, becomes obsessed with solving the murder of Rich Mallon, one of the most notorious and well-known summer citizens of Gull Haven—and finds love in the process.
Here’s the story A body washes ashore late one night during the biggest party night of the year in Gull Haven, Michigan. Murders are almost unheard of in this rich and trendy town, so the story is really big news—especially when it turns out that it belongs to Rich Mallon, one of the most notorious and well-known summer citizens of Gull Haven, a man who most of the locals believe was in the drug dealing business. Mike O’Brien is as fascinated about the murder as anyone and is glad to finally have a story with some meat to it to investigate. His investigation ends up becoming almost an obsession, especially as more and more leads surface about it and it becomes known that Rich Mallon was really Richard Nearing, the prodigal son of Edward Nearing, scion of a wealthy and prominent family from Chicago. As he follows up the leads in the story, he encounters an oddball and unlikely group of suspects that only deepens the mystery rather than leading closer to a solution.
Who will the murderer turn out to be? Grant Fields, who rumor has it was his partner in crime but whom he had a terrible argument with on the night Rich was killed? Could it be Becky Westworth, the beautiful and sexy but notorious woman who was Rich’s girlfriend until they had a bitter breakup just a couple of weeks before the murder? Or could it be Jack Engler, a fairly respectable young business owner in Gull Haven who has never committed a crime in his life but has hated Rich since he stole his girlfriend away from him a few months before the murder and who has been heard to say he’d like to kill Rich. Another suspect is Langdon Smith, owner of the largest fruit operation in the area, whose son died of an overdose of drugs that he always believed he got from Rich. It could even be Virginia Nearing, Rich’s elegant young stepmother whom he hated so much he hadn’t visited his father in many years but who may need to get Rich out of the way if she is going to stand any chance of inheriting her husband’s millions.
With the help of the irascible Lt. George Dirkman of the Lake County sheriff’s department, Mike unravels the mystery and even finds love along the way. Check out Death on Lake Michigan today for one of the most interesting mysteries and one of the most interesting group of characters you will have encountered in a long time!

Death on Lake Michigan eBook Steven Arnett
While set in 1973, this mystery has the feel of bygone days populated by characters like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. Though the sleuth is in actuality a journalist, I could almost envision Bogie puffing on a cigarette as he hunts the elusive suspect in this baffling mystery. The mystery surrounds the discovery of the body of Rich Mallon, which has washed up on the shores of Lake Michigan, in the idyllic town of Gull Haven. A young journalist named Mike O’Brien becomes obsessed with the case, and with the help of Lt. George Dirkman, he slowly puzzles through the mystery where the motive and suspects are not what they seem. I enjoyed the 1st person narrative, where the reader only discovers and mulls over the evidence and clues right alongside Mike. I was particularly impressed by the snappy dialogue and enjoyed the sometimes amusing and often perplexing exchanges between the characters. Hopefully this will turn into a series as I believe that Mike O’Brien would make one heck of a P.I. Enjoyable!Product details

My first experience reading one of Steven Arnett's work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Written in a classic "who done it' style, this plot kept me guessing until the very end of the story. Once starting, it was difficult to stop as one chapter's suspenseful ending lead to the next chapter's clues until all was disclosed in a horrific, climatic chapter detailing the roles each character played in this novel. Well done, Mr. Arnett!
I was drawn to this title because I actually don't live too far from Lake Michigan. While it's not the sort of genre I read too often, I thought this was an interesting, well-written mystery. First person narrators can be hit or miss with me sometimes, but the narrator's voice in this book was really dynamic.
I also really enjoyed the dialogue and the author's wit. It's not too long, not too short. It was just the right length in my opinion. Kudos to the author!
A fast, enjoyable read leaving us to wonder who the murderer was until the end by a small town reporter. One interesting twist was that the owner of the paper didn’t really want the paper to print too much about it, because it made the town look bad for the tourists.
There may have been a few too many insignificant characters. I caught myself asking occasionally if a certain person was really needed to carry on the plot, or was the person merely fluff. Overall, I liked the book and would recommend it to mystery lovers.
This is a good book for mystery readers. The plot and the characters of Death on Lake Michigan are convincing enough to be real. I like the author's voice that is clear and consistent without being boring. My favorite character is the narrator, a small town reporter. Although investigating several murders, he remains lighthearted. He is never daunted as he proceeds with untangling the motive, opportunity and means leading him to the perpetrator and the accomplices. The unfolding of the plot is told from his point of view in the first person. The story keep my interest throughout. I suggest reading Death on Lake Michigan
This is my first read by this author, and I was duly impressed. The story is from a generation ago, told in the 1970's. It is a well-devel0ped murder mystery, told first-person from the viewpoint of the small town newspaper's only reporter. The story moves very quickly, and the book is hard to put down once started. Fortunately, I was on a family reunion vacation in the Rocky Mountains and could read it without interruption. There are definitely some extraneous characters. This reporter could be the recurring character in mysteries around the Great Lakes.
In the hundreds of reviews I have done I have always had the attitude the book being reviewed started with five stars. If there were too many errors, creating a diversion, or if the story line or the characters were weak and undeveloped I might take off a star or at least two. As I have said many times this book did not merit my reducing the five star award. I thought it a little slow to start but the momentum picked up as the book moved along through the story. It is set in the small Lake Michigan community of Gull Harbor. A murder occurs, leaving a mystery as to who did the deed, but also as to who the victim had been. Twists in the plot followed turns, one suspect was discarded, then another, a plodding (typical really) investigation revealed clue after clue, leading to no one. The story line was good. The setting and characters were good. There were very few errors in the book which I saw. The author did a good job of fleshing out the main character and the secondary characters were believable. As with all murder mysteries there was enough gratuitous sex to take the book out of the realm or tweens. A good fast read, very enjoyable. .
