Dead in the Water
About this ebook
From award winning author Phyllis A. Humphrey comes a brand new series that will have you laughing out loud and guessing whodunit until the very end...
Feeling at loose ends after her recent divorce, dedicated chocoholic Olivia Grant decides to visit relatives in jolly old England. Only things are anything but inviting when upon arrival Olivia stumbles on the dead body of her uncle's much-younger widow floating in the estate's lily pond. The police's theory: the victim had been drinking and fell in the pond while out walking her dog. But, if that's true, Olivia wonders how the dog got back in the house. Much to the chagrin of her eccentric British relatives, Olivia tries her hand at amateur sleuthing. Hey, if Kinsey Milhone can do it, so can she! What Olivia didn't count on was a family member with a secret worth blackmailing over, a trip to a home for aging criminals, and the appearance of a mysterious Mr. X. When another dead body falls at Olivia's feet she knows she's closing in on the killer...but will she catch him before he catches up to her?
"Phyllis A. Humphrey delivers the best of the cozy mystery genre in 'Dead in the Water.' A clever heroine, a cast of eccentric British characters, and a juicy murder mystery—what more could you want?"
—Gemma Halliday, New York Times bestselling mystery author
