Her name is Jayne and she has fled Chicago
to hide away in the high desert
It is temporary (or so she thinks)
to heal from a bad marriage and rocky career
but then her aunt who is helping her
is murdered
and her colleague, Gareth, is arrested (even though he is innocent)
so of course Jayne has to help Gareth and solve the murder and, in the meantime,
very very slowly…
she begins to fall in love
with her new community (Roadrunner Ridge)
and her new life and
question everything she has ever known…
This sounds like the plot of one of the cozy mysteries (really lightweight soaps) I use to escape. Great job. The last line is so apropos. Thank you!
Thank you! I am actually working on this book and it IS a cozy mystery. If it’s ever published, I’ll let you know, 🙂
