MURDER IN THE FOREST LAB: A CONTEMPORARY COZY MYSTERY (CAROLINA COZY MYSTERIES Book 1)
By Andrea Kress
She left the city for small-town academia, hoping for peace and quiet. What she found was jealousy, treachery, and murder. Can she solve the case before she becomes the next victim?
COVID, a stressful job and the end of Gemma’s marriage signaled a need to change everything in her life. Finding a job in public information in a university affiliated lab near Raleigh run by a world-renowned researcher seemed like a dream come true. Lured by warmer weather, a pay raise, cheaper rent and a scenic commute, she wasn’t prepared for another cutthroat environment. Or the murder of a researcher found in a chimp’s cage.
Relieved by the arrival of the small-town detective, Steve Thibault, she realizes he’ll be frustrated by the uncooperative and tightlipped researchers. As they become attracted to each other, he comes to rely on her as an ally. And as he surfaces each hidden truth and buried accusation, he discovers everybody seems to have a motive.
Can they peel back the lies before there is another body?
MURDER IN THE FOREST LAB is the gripping first book in the CAROLINA mystery series. If you like emotionally intriguing characters, blossoming romance, and playful banter, then you’ll love Andrea Kress’s cozy mystery.
