Murder in Plain Sight: Sunset Point Mystery Book 2
By Susan May
Sunset Point’s prodigal daughter is at it again in a cat and mouse game with a killer who might be the person sitting next to her.
Life in Sunset Point, (Pop. 184) Cobscook Island, MA is setting in to fall. Author Owen Swenson’s business proposition—hosting writer workshops at Swenson’s Sunset Cabins—sounds promising to sister, and resort manager Zora. An onsite gathering of potential partners sounds like a great start. How much trouble could a small group of industry professionals be?
More than Zora expects when celebrity author Tyler Jackson drops dead mid-sentence. When a second attendee appears to have met a soggy end in a cranberry bog, the event begins to feel like a bizarre take on the Agatha Christie classic, And Then There Were None.
Despite Detective Sommersson’s effort to keep her out of the investigation, it isn’t long before Sunset Point’s favorite prodigal daughter is on the hunt for a killer bold enough to murder in plain sight of witnesses. Twenty-something Zora and her post-menopausal posse ride into action. Hopefully they’ll find the culprit soon because the bodies are piling up, and there’s the town Halloween Parade and All Hallow’s Day Town Brunch to prepare for.
As if solving a murder wasn’t enough to occupy her, there’s the usual town hijinks, a Halloween parade, a baker with a mysterious past, a compact car-sized donut sign on McGuire’s Market that no one wanted, a new resident with a bedazzling addiction, Grandmother Sommersson’s cat to rescue, and a boyfriend who seems to be ghosting her.
