About this eBook

Welcome to Heywood, where the only thing deadlier than gossip is dinner.

When former soap opera star Sam Jones and her lawyer, Colin Breckshire, discover a dead body outside his office, Sam's peaceful life in Heywood takes a deadly turn. Alan Jackson, a wealthy HVAC business owner, has been poisoned, and Colin becomes the prime suspect.

Determined to prove her friend's innocence, Sam uncovers a web of secrets surrounding Alan's death, and discovers plenty of motives: his business partner has been embezzling funds, his wife is having an affair, and his estranged son has been cut from the will.

As Sam delves deeper into the investigation—much to the sheriff’s frustration—she discovers that Alan wasn't the upstanding citizen he appeared to be. From blackmail schemes to family betrayals, the victim had made plenty of enemies.

But the murderer is more dangerous than his victim and Sam must tread carefully.

Will Sam find the killer before she becomes a target herself?

A tasty tragedy! Samantha Jones and her lawyer, Colin Breckshire, discover a body outside his office. The victim has no shortage of enemies. The case is a tangled web of suspects and secrets. When Colin becomes Sheriff Trevor’s prime suspect, Sam sets out to solve the case before her friend winds up in jail. This enjoyable cozy has a good plot and interesting characters. I received a free copy, but my review is honest and voluntary.
