The Secret Side of Murder
(2023)(Book 46 in the Sky High Pies Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Mary Maxwell
On a quiet afternoon in Crescent Creek, while working at her family’s bakery café, former private investigator Kate Reed receives a distressing phone call. “Someone is killing people on Vaquero Drive!” screams a resident of the small Colorado town. “The police are here but they aren’t telling us anything! What should we do?”
After racing to the normally quiet neighborhood, Kate learns that three men were murdered in a stately brick and stucco Tudor that recently changed hands. The victims include two housepainters and the bank officer that handled the mortgage for the new homeowners.
As the investigation begins, Kate is once again enlisted as a consultant by local law enforcement. During the next few days, while interviewing witnesses and following leads, Kate grapples with the most relevant questions about the crime: Who pulled the trigger? Was it a random act or premeditated plot? And were the murders linked to a long-ago bank heist in a nearby town?
At first, the answers remain elusive. But the inquiry quickly reveals a handful of distinct clues. They range from a sterling silver earring, corkscrew-shaped scar and Leonardo da Vinci quote to face tattoos, a vintage Jaguar convertible and an ill-fated dare between fraternity brothers many years before the triple homicide.
