About Someone Cruel in Coyote Creek: Female Sleuth Cozy Mysteries (The Accidental Detective Book 3)
Turning fifty in her childhood bedroom wasn’t on Kate Tessler’s bucket list… neither was dodging tasers, surviving a deadly fundraiser, or investigating her almost-boyfriend for corruption.
Kate is convinced her sister is trying to kill her. In fact, she might prefer death to Jen’s “50 for 50 Challenge,” where Kate will try fifty new things throughout the year she turns fifty. Still adjusting to her new underemployed life back in her childhood home in Phoenix, the last thing Kate wants is to prepare for paddle boarding, especially when she receives an anonymous message claiming that Mayor Todd Paradise is taking bribes. The author claims to have proof, including photos, and challenges Kate to publish the story.
Could good guy Todd, Kate’s almost boyfriend, really be corrupt? Or is someone trying to set him up? Kate sets out to discover the truth, with help from her multi-generational, unconventional, and often unhelpful crew. She thrived reporting from war zones as an international war correspondent, but can she solve a mystery filled with small-town secrets, political intrigue, plenty of chaos and a 100-pound dog named Whiskers?
Witty, fast-paced, and packed with laugh-out-loud moments, Someone Cruel in Coyote Creek is a must-read for cozy mystery lovers who enjoy strong female leads, unconventional sidekicks, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series and Jana DeLeon’s Miss Fortune Mysteries.
