The Mayor's Wife
(2024)(Book 13 in the Blackfriar Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by M'Lissa Moorecroft
When Estelle De Wisner moved to Black Rock, the sleepy town 78 miles north of San Francisco, people wondered about her.
She was beautiful and polite, but aloof.
Estelle told people she was a retired opera singer from Amsterdam and that her throat had been injured in a car accident, ending her career.
When the nosy neighbors in the Blackfriar Apartment Building checked her out online, they couldn't find a trace of her.
The snoops never discovered her real name or the reason she was in the charming little town.
However, someone assumed Estelle had something to hide and he wanted $100,000 to keep his mouth shut. She realized the blackmailer knew nothing, and soon found out who he was. It didn’t take her long to get that money back.
When he met a violent end, Estelle and the neighbor she'd become involved with were determined to find out who killed him.
Genre: Mystery
