Mortgaged to Murder : A Lily Sprayberry Cozy Mystery (The Lily Sprayberry Cozy Mystery Series Book 14)
By Carolyn Ridder Aspenson
To Lily Sprayberry, selling homes is easier than buttering a biscuit—until a fire ignites her deadliest case yet.
When I accepted the listing for the Wilson’s charming old farmhouse just outside town, I never imagined it would end in flames—or with a body inside. But that’s exactly what happened. I arrived for a showing to find the place ablaze, smoke choking the sky. Inside, firefighters discovered my client, James Wilson, dead.
The sheriff—my husband, Dylan—and his investigators labeled it a tragic accident.
But I knew better. Something felt off about the scene, too many little things that didn’t add up. Soon enough, the investigators changed course. No more tragic accident; instead, it was arson and murder.
The only problem? Too many people to suspect meant too many deadly secrets.
Now, I’m neck-deep in a mystery packed with small-town secrets, whispers of old grudges, and a killer who knows I’m digging where I shouldn’t. With every clue I expose, the danger intensifies, and I soon realize my own life is at stake.
Can I catch the real murderer before my next showing is my last?
