A Piece of the Lie

A Jolene Mackenzie Mystery Series Book 2

By: J. B. Perkins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Of all the things that could happen while making a delivery, Jolene Mackenzie never imagined being knocked down and crushed by a man who literally dies on top of her. Who is he? Why would someone want to kill him? Why did he keep mumbling the words “wrong one” before he died? And how will the chief of police turn all the facts around and blame this on Jolene? With things already going sideways, a local inn keeper discovers that his expensive painting is missing. Of course Jolene is now a suspect for both crimes. In order to clear her name, she will need to start her own investigation. It won’t be easy with so many tourists in town for a fishing tournament. She may have to get help from her friends Zoe, Kaelyn, and Glynis. What else could go wrong? Jolene’s already been dubbed a murder magnet by those around her. Her meddling mother has come to town for an unannounced visit. Isaac Myers, her new love interest, is begging her to stop snooping. And more than one person is out to get her. Will she be able to unravel all the clues before it’s too late? Will she locate the stolen painting before the murderer finds her? This is a cozy mystery with a female amateur sleuth in a small town setting. It contains no strong profanity, sex, gore, or graphic scenes of violence. The story can be read as a stand alone, but will be more enjoyable if read in the order of the series.
