Murder is a Dirty Business: A Cozy Mystery Novel (Grime Pays Mystery Book 1)
About this ebook
Between hot flashes and divorce papers, a middle-aged woman considers her outlook on life when she butts heads with a hot detective during a murder investigation.
When Cece Cavanaugh's husband empties their joint bank account, steals her designer luggage, and runs off with a younger woman, Cece must decide whether to ask her manipulative mother-in-law for a handout or get a job. Choosing the easier path, Cece lands a job cleaning a crime scene where a high school coach was murdered. When his wife is implicated—a young woman Cece practically raised—Cece finds herself mopping floors, balancing an empty checkbook, and ferreting out a killer.
Amid all this messy business, Cece bumps heads with a handsome detective. She tries to ignore her growing attraction to the detective, but he gives new meaning to the term "hot flash."
After she stumbles onto a clue that could vindicate her friend, her elation turns to panic when she haphazardly confronts the killer. Through the danger and romance, Cece discovers self-reliance and inner strength.
And that crime—at least, someone else's—does pay the bills.
