Death on Riddle Road (Secret Sleuth, Book 9) E-BOOK

The dreaded words: "We have to talk."

Sleuth-with-a-big-secret Sheila Mackey says that to Teague O'Donnell just before this book starts. Will she spill all her hidden background to the guy she's dating? It's even more complicated since he's a detective-once-more, working for the local sheriff's department as an investigator – not good for secrets.

And what about her sleuthing partner, Clara? Is it time to let her in on all of Sheila's secrets? But what if Clara says anything at their favorite hangout spot -- the dog park, with Gracie, Lulu, and Murphy. The dogs will hold their tongues, but not the humans. One slip there and it's all over North Bend County.

Ah, but Sheila's not the only one with secrets. Or surprises.

Especially not when secrets, surprises, complicated relationships, partners on the outs, and – of course – dog play draw Sheila and Clara into investigating a murder.

"Beautifully combined LOL humour with twist and turn mystery."
 

If you're new to the Secret Sleuth mystery series, don't miss the start, with a dead body on a transatlantic cruise in Death on the Diversion. In Death on Torrid Avenue and later books, accidental investigator Sheila returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new Kentucky home.

"This is one of the best mystery books I've read in a very long time!"

"Murder and laughs. Can't wait for more."
