Politics Can Be Murder: Every Wife Has a Story

by Susan Santangelo

Overview

The hit-and-run death of a schoolmate rocks Carol Andrews' world. The tragic accident, still unsolved, soon becomes a rallying cry for pedestrian safety in an upcoming town council election. Ignoring the advice of her husband, who points out that she knows nothing at all about the political arena, Carol eagerly signs on to manage the election campaign of a new-to-politics female candidate. But when the always nosy Carol goes beyond her job description and starts asking too many questions, she discovers that politics can be a murky world of hidden secrets, greed, and murder.

About the Author

Susan Santangelo is the author of the best-selling Baby Boomer mystery series. She is a member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and the Cape Cod Writers Center, and also reviews mysteries for Suspense Magazine. She divides her time between Clearwater, Florida and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and shares her life with her husband Joe and two very spoiled English cocker spaniels, Boomer and Lilly. Boomer also serves as the model for the books' front covers, and Lilly is featured on the back. She is also a proud, lucky two-time breast cancer survivor, and credits early detection by regular mammograms with saving her life twice.

Editorial Reviews

"An especially well-crafted and entertaining mystery which plays fair with the reader every step of the way....An outstanding series."

-Midwest Book Review

"Reading Susan Santangelo's books is like taking a masterclass in voice. Local politics, dogs, and the always funny Carol Andrews make the ninth book in the Baby Boomer Mystery series, Politics Can Be Murder, a clear winner."

-Sherry Harris, Agatha Award Nominated Author of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mysteries and the Chloe Jackson Seaglass Saloon Mysteries

"Is Politics Can Be Murder a winner? I vote yes!"

-Carole Goldberg, National Book Reviewer

"Susan Santangelo's Carol Andrews is one retiree who is not content to bake cookies and babysit her grandchildren, and having solved nine Baby Boomer Mysteries with wit and homely wisdom, it would be a serious mistake to underestimate her sleuthing skills. I'm eagerly awaiting her next adventure, and I'm sure other mystery lovers are, too."

-Leslie Meier, Author of the Lucy Stone Mysteries

"When a friend becomes the victim of a hit and run driver, Baby Boomer Carol Andrews and her Fairport gal pals decide to help a successful local businesswoman run for Fairport Town Council, via a pedestrian safety-focused campaign. What could possibly go wrong?"

-Anne L. Holmes, APR, "Boomer in Chief," National Association of Baby Boomer Women

"In Politics Can Be Murder, Santangelo serves up a humorous story with a serious underpinning and an appealing main character-you have to love a woman who always tells you what she would have said but didn't."

-Leslie Wheeler, Author of the Berkshire Hilltown Mystery Series
