Too many suspects can be as bad as no suspects at all…

Lark Davis, horse trainer and reluctant amateur sleuth, is sure that her crime-solving days are behind her. At least that’s what she told her grandmother. However, when her Homeowners Association President and owner of the local hardware store is found dead the day after she had a public fight with him, Lark is back in the last place she wants to be — the middle of a murder case.

But this is Barrow Bay, and things are never as they seem. Gerald Pratchett had a list of enemies a mile long, and each one had a very real reason for wanting to see him gone. When the police get overwhelmed with too many suspects, including herself, Lark realizes that it is up to her to bring his killer to justice.

Nothing can stop Lark from finding out the truth — and getting her man.

 Another fast paced and funny cozy mystery to brighten your day. Barrow Bay, California is one of a kind. The community is full of retirees who know everything that is going on, or that people want to have go one or believe is going on.  Then there is the town's online blogger who seems to announce the "news" as quickly as it happens. Who needs a town crier?

Lark and the "handsome, new" detective on the county department have been trying to figure out how to date, when she isn't being a murder suspect and he isn't unavailable due to work.
He has something to tell her but it isn't "phone news." In fact it is multiple cups of coffee type news. As you can guess, the news is delivered without the coffee and unscheduled.

Lark truly isn't a death magnet. She doesn't go out of her way to stir up trouble or attract attention.
There is just no way she can avoid being in the middle of things!
Especially when the leader of the local home owners association seems to have it in for her and always needs to make her aware of his dissatisfaction in the wee hours of the morning.
So when one morning it is this same leader drawing attention- by being discovered dead - and there is no possible way Lark could have done it... well, even that doesn't save her from getting caught up in the middle of this investigation.

Fun, funny, and super fast paced, this is a series not to be missed.
While there are references to events happening in previous books, you will enjoy this as a stand alone if you must.  I can't wait to see where this series may take us!
