The Wagers of Sin
(2025)(The third book in the Martha and Marya Mystery series)
A novel by Emily Hanlon
When an elderly billionaire businesswoman drops dead during her wedding to a much younger golden boy at the very moment of the ‘I dos,’ her improbable bridesmaid, Marya Cook—the lavender-clad, Bible-quoting octogenarian sleuth known to the locals as the Purple Pest—cries, ‘Murder.’ Marya’s sensible sidekick, Uber driver Martha Collins, sees her to-do list balloon as she juggles her sleuthing with police politics, money problems, and maybe…just maybe…romance.
Join Martha and Marya on a cruise to the Greek Isles and back to Pequot Bays, New York, waterfront home to the wealthy and those who serve them. Meet the rich victim’s hopeful heirs, shady servants, and of course, the frustrated fiancé as Marya combines her eye for ‘the little things’ with her own peculiar logic to sift through the multitude of murderous motives, means, and opportunities in search of the killer.
Sail away with Martha and Marya in this, the third installment of Emily Hanlon’s acclaimed Martha and Marya Mysteries series, as Marya gambles against the odds at high-stakes roulette…and murder.
