About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Kerri Nelson...

Working for a living may just be the death of her…

 

Med school drop-out Mandy Murrin has returned home to care for her mentally handicapped, teenage sister. But despite having multiple college degrees under her belt, Mandy finds jobs aren't easy to come by in small town Alabama. Now instead of a stethoscope, she's forced to sport a tool belt as a technician for the local cable company, Flicks Vision.

 

But things go from bad to worse when, while on assignment at the Mayor's house, Mandy finds herself in the attic amongst cobwebs, Christmas decorations, and...a corpse? Suddenly Mandy's life is turned upside down with one missing body, a high school nemesis turned police detective, a mysterious stranger, and a town full of long buried secrets. If Mandy's not careful, this could be one dead end job where she may not make it out alive!

Ratings and reviews

murder, law-enforcement, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, cozy-mystery, contemporary-romance I dunno, but I thought it was a great cozy with some remarkable twists. Maybe it's because I'm a red, or maybe it's from the past of working in a teaching hospital. I did like the apt Irish proverbs at the beginning of each chapter even though that is not my ethnicity. But traveling through the tangles of small town long memories and grudges is familiar to all of us who grew up in one, even here in the north. Mandy already has an overload of serious problems with poor solutions when a disappearing body and a hot mysterious man enter her life. And things only get murkier from there. I really enjoyed this afternoon read!
