Of Memories and Murder
(2025)(The second book in the Trouble in Tinseltown Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Candy Baxter
Well-meaning biddies. A basket of kitties. And murder.
Hollywood, 1957. Newly engaged to be married, Gillian wants nothing more than to leisurely plan her wedding and get to know her betrothed better. However, when she stumbles onto the dead body of a local home builder, all her plans are thrown out of whack.
Though curious about who, when, and why the builder was dispatched, Gillian believes distancing herself from the investigation will help her future husband as he seeks a job promotion. So, she resolves not to give in to her instinct for sleuthing. But, for whatever reason, people seem to talk to her. When the builder's daughter speaks freely, how can Gillian stop the flow of words? And when a second corpse is discovered, the man's fiancee turns to Gillian for comfort. What's a girl to do in such a circumstance?
And to her surprise, the lieutenant in charge of the two murder investigations asks for Gillian's opinion and assistance. So much for giving up amateur sleuthing!
A variety of quirky characters put in an appearance, and it's soon evident that events from the distant past are relevant. Will the investigations dig deep enough to find the truth, or will the two murders end up in the cold cases file?
