Mortgage and Mayhem
(2023)(The first book in the Mother-Daughter Realty Team Mystery series)
A novel by Carol E Ayer
Mother-daughter real estate agents Autumn and Sierra have just found a dead body in their client's kitchen. This will have to go in the disclosures!
From the author of The HSP Mysteries comes the first in a fun new cozy series. Sierra Madison and her mother, Autumn Cassidy, have joined forces to establish a realty team in Forest Lake, a gated community in California's Sierra Nevada foothills. Both recent widows, they hope to come to terms with their grief while practicing real estate and enjoying the peace and quiet of their new community.
Autumn's best friend, Gail Redland, shows up unexpectedly one morning, begging the two to sell her house. She's clearly agitated and unable to provide further details. Sierra and Autumn agree to meet Gail at her house a short while later, but when they arrive for the appointment, she is nowhere to be found. They do find someone, though...Gail's neighbor, Jake, dead on the kitchen floor.
Gail immediately becomes the main suspect in the crime, but she can't be located. Autumn, refusing to believe her best friend would commit murder, vows to clear Gail's name and begs Sierra to help her. While the police look for Gail, mother and daughter embark on an investigation of their own. An informant who insists on playing "Deep Throat" from All the President's Men, a madcap swan boat chase, and a case of mistaken identity—put on your glasses, Autumn!—are a few of the obstacles the pair will face before they nail down the killer.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
