"The Three-Story Murders"
Book #2 in the Dingle Point Cove Mystery Series
"The Three-Story Murders" is clever, engaging, and an
inherently fascinating read from cover to cover.
---Midwest Book Review
There’s tension in Dingle Point Cove as the well-being of its oldest citizens is under threat. A big healthcare company wants to close all the local senior homes and uproot the residents into a new three-story mega-facility. And they’ll stop at nothing to sell the idea to the community.
But 74-year-old Paige Bottomley isn’t buying it, especially when what she digs up smells as fishy as the town’s beach at low tide. Someone clearly has a lot to lose if the truth comes out, and smart, gutsy Paige is in the way. With greed, treachery and murder, the bodies begin to multiply. And the next digging Paige does just might be her own grave.
