About this ebook

An unlucky amateur sleuth, an adorable cop, and a cat with a hunch…

If anyone had told Mallory Beck she would become Honeysuckle Grove’s next unschooled detective, she would have thought they were ten noodles short of a lasagna. Her late husband had been the mystery novelist with a penchant for the suspicious. She was born for the Crock-Pot, not the magnifying glass, and yet here she is elbow deep in fettuccine, cat treats, and teenagers with an attitude, the combination of which lands her smack-dab in the middle of a murder investigation.

Maybe she should have thought twice about delivering a casserole to a grieving family. Maybe she should have avoided the ever-changing green eyes of her seventh-grade crush—now the most heart-stopping cop in town. Maybe she should have stopped listening to the insightful mewls of her antagonistic cat, Hunch, who most likely wants her to be the town’s next murder victim.

Whatever the case, Mallory Beck got herself into this investigation, and she has a distraught teenage girl counting on her to deliver the truth.

Ratings and reviews

Murder At Mile Marker 18 is a well thought out murder mystery and I was up till almost midnight finishing it. I liked its fish our of water heroine who is just trying to survive the death of her husband when she's pulled into a suspicious death of a teenaged girl's father. Add in a grouchy cat who loves everyone but her and you have a page turner of a book.

terrific story, love how it includes teenagers. Solving crime is one of my favourite pass times when I was a kid. And don't forget the famous cat.Job well done xxx

Thoroughly enjoyable read from beginning to end. lots of twists and turns. I can't wait for the next one. God bless you and everyone you know.
