Donors, Deception & Death - Paperback

by Sally Bayless (Author)

It's not hard to find a family member who wanted to kill the gold-digging third wife. The trick is finding one who didn't.

Libby Ballard, director of the history museum in the small town of Dogwood Springs, Missouri, can't believe her good luck. Cordell Calhoun, the king of spicy fried chicken, is celebrating his 70th birthday by returning to his hometown to donate to several organizations, including the museum.

But tensions run high when Cordell insists on inviting his entire family, including his two ex-wives, their offspring, and his young third wife, Brittany, to the donor reception at the museum. The family dynamic is a ticking time bomb, and it's only a matter of minutes before someone explodes.

Libby's caught in the middle of the family drama but determined to make the event a success. Determined, that is, until Brittany drops dead at the reception.

With the police veering off in the wrong direction and each faction of the family pointing fingers at the other, Libby realizes she needs to step in to solve the mystery, bring the culprit to justice, and clear the museum's name.

But in a situation rife with secrets and deceit, she'll need to tread carefully, or she may become the next victim in a deadly family feud.

Join Libby, her golden retriever, and their friends as they try to unmask the killer!

If you like a cozy mystery with a pet who will win your heart, friends who feel like family, and a hint of romance, you'll love this series!

This is a clean read with no profanity or graphic violence.
