Donors, Deception & Death

Dogwood Springs Cozy Mystery, Book 4

It’s not difficult 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 70^th birthday by returning to his hometown to donate to several Dogwood Springs organizations, including the museum.

At last the museum will be able to afford the elevator it so desperately needs. All Libby must do is navigate the social landmines buried when Cordell insisted that his entire family—including his current wife, his two ex-wives, and all their offspring—attend the donor receptions. “Tense” doesn’t begin to describe the family dynamic. Even the nicest members of the family hate Cordell’s third wife, Brittany, a 28-year-old former estate attorney with perfect hair, a perfect body, and a perfectly horrid personality.

But with careful seating arrangements and all the charm she can muster, Libby thinks she just might pull it off—until Brittany drops dead at the reception at the museum.

Join Libby, her golden retriever, Bella, and their friends as they solve the crime!
