A Body in the Trunk
Myrtle Clover Cozy Mysteries | Book 12
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with an unstoppable octogenarian protagonist who refuses to slow down — sharp, funny, and not about to let her police chief son tell her what to do. Light and funny even when there's murder involved.
Sometimes taking a spin makes you crash and burn.
When a neighbor disappears, Myrtle and Miles shift gears and hit the road to search for him. They discover their neighbor slightly off the beaten track—murdered with a tire iron. Myrtle has no intention of letting the killer give them the slip. She and Miles buckle up for a race against time to find the murderer…before someone else hits a dead end.
