A Lesson in Murder (Kansas Cozy Mystery 2)
Charlene WeirOriginally published as Consider the Crows.
High-flying city cop Susan never expected to wind up in Hampstead, Kansas — a sleepy little town where there are more pigs than people.
But she moved here to be with the man she loved. One year after his murder, the folk of Hampstead need police chief Susan more than ever.
Professor Carena Egersund is out walking in the woods, when a dog comes bounding over. Carena looks for the owner — and spots a dead body floating face-down in the creek!
A few days before her death, Lynnelle Hames was telling everyone she’d found her long-lost birth mother.
Has someone killed her to keep her silent?
Professor Carena may specialize in math, but something about her story doesn’t add up.
Then a second body surfaces, in an equally watery grave, and Susan realizes the clock is ticking to catch a ruthless killer . . .
