A Liar and a Layer (Clucks and Clues Cozy Mysteries Book 7)
By Hillary Avis
A birthday starts with a bang…
Leona Davis has always hated surprises…even of the party variety. So when her boyfriend, retired sheriff Eli Ramirez, tips her off that a big one is coming her way, she braces herself for some “unexpected” fifty-ninth-birthday fun.
But no amount of preparation keeps her from being bowled over when someone turns up at her party who was definitely not on the guest list—a dead body! At first, it looks like a tragic accident that the bowling team captain got stuck in the Lane Four pinsetter. But it quickly becomes apparent that he was murdered just days before the first bowling match of the season!
Leona can’t help being a little curious about who had it out for the ambitious young man. Was it the captain of the rival team? His disgruntled former teammate? His bowling alley boss? It seems there are suspects to spare!
But her casual hunt for clues turns dead serious when someone close to her is badly hurt during the investigation. Now there’s far more at stake than bragging rights and a bowling trophy.
Can Leona pin down the killer before they strike again? Surprise! It won’t be easy…
A Liar & A Layer is the seventh book in the quirky small-town Clucks and Clues Cozy Mysteries series that is packed with chuckles and chickens!
