Almost a Suburban Legend
(2026)(The fourth book in the Doreen Diller Mystery series)
A novel by Margaret Lashley
"This series has Golden Girls of Central Florida vibes and I'm all for it!"
"If you like hilarious books with a side of murder, you definitely will enjoy this book!"
But I guess that’s what happens when you’re accused of being a serial killer.
It took a lot of fancy footwork, but Doreen managed to beat that rap … well, mostly. But now a new scandalous rumor is about to point the spotlight not just on her, but her entire new-found Family as well. (Did I mention they’re elderly members of a Southern Mafia clan called the Collard Green Cosa Nostra?)
Anyway, if the Family secret gets out, their quiet little life in the suburbs could go up in smoke. To avoid that fate, Doreen’s going to need to pull out all the stops -- and her best acting chops.
I sure hope she knows karate ...
