The Dead-End Murder
(2026)(The third book in the Becca Flynn Mystery series)
A novel by Karen Leigh Charles
Becca thinks her days of chasing criminals are over. The residents of Bayley’s Landing, however, have other ideas.
All Becca wants is to trade her private investigator license for a paintbrush and a quiet life as a full-time artist. But peace is hard to find when two elderly sisters show up at her door with a frantic confession: they’ve run over the mayor. The twist? He was already lying in a pothole when they hit him.
The situation turns from absurd to alarming when a parade of local women comes forward, each certain they are the ones who did the mayor in. But when the autopsy reveals the cause of death wasn't an unavoidable accident, but cold-blooded murder, Becca is dragged right back into the picture.
Teaming up with a senior wannabe sleuth with a talent for disarming suspects, Becca digs into the mayor’s less-than-clean political past. But when her elderly sidekick goes missing, the case gets personal. With the help of an unexpected lead from a Civil War ghost, Becca must find the killer before her friend becomes history.
