About this ebook

Viola Roberts is at it again with another bookish mystery!

The sleepy seaside town of Astoria, Oregon is the last place you’d expect to find a dead body. That is until the director of the local museum turns up dead in the study and Viola’s friend, Portia, is accused of the crime.

Author Viola ignores her looming deadline and bout of writer’s block and sets out with her best friend, Cheryl, to solve the murder. From starting riots at local dive bars to breaking into crime scenes, Viola will stop at nothing to prove Portia innocent even if it means putting herself in the cross-hairs of the killer.

Ratings and reviews

4 star Review The Stiff In The Study (Viola Roberts Cozy Mysteries, Book 2) by Shea MacLeod AUDIO REVIEW Both the author Shea MacLeod and narrator Yvette Keller are relatively new to me. The Stiff In The Study is a cozy mystery and one that I found entertaining. The narration was easy to listen too and she certainly bought the characters to life. Viola Roberts, a successful writer is back investigating another murder. When her friend Portia is accused of murdering the director of the local museum in Astoria, Oregon, Viola knows she cannot sit quietly by. So it’s up to Viola and Cheryl to investigate and solve the case. This was a book filled with secrets, suspense, mystery and danger and I was kept on the edge of my seat as I listened to this story. There were twists, turns and surprises as Viola and Cheryl follow the clues.
