(The first book in the Jenkins and Burns Mystery series)A novel by Laura Bradford
2005 Agatha Award for Best First Novel (nominee)
Originally published by Hilliard & Harris under the title "Jury of One," "Deadly Readings" is the first in Laura Bradford's debut Jenkins & Burns mystery series.
Before the Jersey Shore ever even heard of Snookie, the beaches in New Jersey were known for warm sand, lively boardwalks, and the promise of carefree summer days. This season the small scenic town of Ocean Point, New Jersey, is not nearly as carefree as tourists would hope. The discovery of the body of a young woman is the first in a string of seemingly random and senseless murders, murders connected only by a warning from the same boardwalk fortune-teller.
It's a crisis that puts local detective Mitch Burns on edge, and his job in jeopardy. It's up to him to solve the crimes and protect the livelihood of the town, a livelihood that relies almost entirely on tourists. With the help of newly hired local reporter Elise Jenkins, the two step out to discover who the killer is, before another body is found.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
