A Lesson in Murder
Description of the book
High-flying city cop Susan never expected to wind up in Hampstead, Kansas—a sleepy little town where there are more pigs than people. But she moved here to be with the man she loved. One year after his murder, the folk of Hampstead need police chief Susan more than ever. Professor Carena Egersund is out walking in the woods when a dog comes bounding over. Carena looks for the owner—and spots a dead body floating face-down in the creek! A few days before her death, Lynnelle Hames was telling everyone she’d found her long-lost birth mother. Has someone killed her to keep her silent? Professor Carena may specialize in math, but something about her story doesn’t add up. Then a second body surfaces, in an equally watery grave, and Susan realizes the clock is ticking to catch a ruthless killer... Fans of Kate Carlisle, Ellery Adams, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Eileen Brady, Cathy Pickens, and Dorothy Cannell will be hooked from the very first page!
