DEATH IN THE PERFECT HOUSE is a light-hearted cozy mystery which contains humor, with no graphic sex, and no cliffhangers.
Zoe Wilder is a reporter for the local newspaper, The Spencerβs Ridge Gazette, in Winston County, Texas. She also writes cozy mysteries. Perhaps thatβs why she sees a crime where there may not be one. Members of the local Winston County Sheriffβs Department view her as a pretty kook and donβt take her seriously. When she finds her friend Margo Kingsley dead, she is certain Margo was murdered and Margoβs housekeeper agrees. The investigating officer doesnβt believe her, and the death is ruled an accident due to a fall while inebriated.
Zoe is determined to find the killer. A new Chief Deputy, Caleb McBride, arrives a few days later, hired from Fort Worth PDβs homicide division under unusual circumstances. Deputy McBride is determined Zoe will leave detecting to him and his officers. He warns her she is making herself a target. He also warns her heβll arrest her if she interferes again. Undeterred, Zoe fears he is only going through the motions to appease the late womanβs daughter. Surprisingly, the new Deputy is the nephew of the dead womanβs housekeeper, of whom Zoe is very protective.
Just as Zoe decides Deputy McBride is good at his job, the killer targets her. She is forced to cooperate with Deputy McBride. Will the killer be stopped before Zoe is the next victim?
