The Sting of Death
(2024)(The first book in the Rising Sun Rescue Mysteries series)
A novel by Riley E Smith
A windfall inheritance from an unknown millionaire uncle opens up a dream life for MJ Walker, until the facts of his death launch her into a nightmare… one that might end with her behind bars, or worse!
When MJ Walker receives the opportunity of a lifetime – inheriting a fortune and a piece of land from an estranged uncle in the remote desert town of Firewood – she can't believe her luck. There’s one catch, and she’s happy to comply: she has to open an animal rescue.
With a passion for animals and a newfound purpose, MJ sets out with her loyal pitbull Clark to build the animal shelter of her dreams. But as she and her team prepare for the grand opening of the shelter, they are blindsided by the appearance of the intimidating Cassandra Devon. Cassandra is MJ’s cousin, and she’s on the warpath. She shuts down the shelter, accusing MJ of murdering their uncle in a scheme to steal his fortune.
The fate of the new rescue is at stake as MJ races against time to clear her name. She dives into the remnants of her Uncle’s life, unraveling a web of secrets that only leads to more questions…
Who really benefited from her uncle’s death?
Was he paranoid, or was someone embezzling money from his estate?
What are the suspicious charges on his credit cards?
And most important to Clark the pitbull… When’s dinner?
MJ must expose the real killer before it’s too late, or the strays of Firewood will have to wait to be rescued until after her prison sentence!
The Sting of Death is a fast-paced cozy mystery with equal measures of paws and peril. Buy now for $2.99 and see if you can solve the crime with MJ and her silly, sleepy pittie, Clark.
