Audiolibro Death on ZigZag Trail (Secret Sleuth, Book 7)

A spooky legend twists grave matters.

Sheila Mackey's dislike for cemeteries can't fend off her friend Clara's determination. Amid eerie legends, including a tailgating hearse, the accidental investigator is lured into sorting through deadly questions a century old, revolving around an unidentified victim known as ZigZag Jane.

Who was she? How did she come to be found murdered in the cemetery more than a hundred years ago? Why is the third generation of one family devoting himself to finding the answer?

Nothing follows a straight line in this historic inquiry, including conflict over their sleuthing with Teague O'Donnell, newly hired as a part-time detective in North Bend County, Kentucky. Especially when the past doesn't stay in the past and the victims multiply.

From the dog park with Sheila's Gracie and Clara's Lulu, to the small-town post office, to yoga class, to the historical society, and always back to ZigZag Cemetery (to Sheila's chagrin), she and Clara negotiate the zigs and zags of this seventh book in USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's cozy mystery series, Secret Sleuth. The series begins with a murder on a transatlantic cruise in Death on the Diversion. In Death on Torrid Avenue and later books, accidental investigator Sheila returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new Kentucky home.
