The Trouble With Trophies
(2026)(The second book in the Mahjong Maven Mystery series)
A novel by Lyssa Lund
Phoebe Lindstrom and her friends have come a long way from four beginners fumbling with racks and tiles. Their brand-new Western Mahjong League is growing fast, bringing together players from country clubs, libraries, community centers—and a few groups who take winning very seriously.
Not everyone is thrilled.
When one of the league's fiercest opponents unexpectedly enters their inaugural tournament, Phoebe knows something is up.
When she collapses in the middle of the match, Phoebe knows she was right.
Suddenly, the Mavens' friendly tournament has a suspicious death, a roomful of potential suspects, and an old trophy with a history no one seems eager to discuss.
Now Phoebe and the Mavens will have to separate the cracks from the bams, the rumors from the truth, and the harmless rivalries from the deadly ones.
Because some people play to win.
Someone was willing to kill for it.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
