A Convenient Murder
A honeymoon cut short. A mother dead. A town ready to judge.

Days after her wedding, Sheriff Cammie Farnsworth is called back to Twin Ponds. Evelyn Madachuck, widely disliked and fiercely controlling, has been shot at point-blank range in her home. Nearby, Deputy Rick Belleveau is found unconscious with a severe head wound, his holstered weapon untouched.

With the town whispering and her objectivity on trial, Cammie must untangle what happened in that room. Did Rick fire in self-defense or is someone framing him? And why does every thread seem to lead back to Emmy Madachuck, Evelyn’s daughter and Cammie’s trusted dispatcher, whose history with her mother was toxic and whose actions after the shooting raise hard questions?

Motive is everywhere: a bitter will, a lifetime of grudges, neighbors who had enough, and a red leather journal filled with Evelyn’s venom. Forensics point to a close-range shooter; a partial thumbprint on the gun hints at a truth no one wants to face.

Time is running out, rumors are hardening into verdicts, and one wrong call could cost Cammie her badge and her marriage.

A Convenient Murder is book eleven in the Twin Ponds Mysteries, a suspenseful small-town mystery series where community drama, personal loyalties, and twist-filled investigations collide.
