Murder at Freedom Hill

Edmund DeCleryk Mysteries, Book 3

By: Karen Shughart

Narrated by: John DiLeonardo

This gentle mystery with an historical subplot is a perfect listen for lovers of maritime cozies with a twist. The charming, quiet coastal setting of a quaint village on Lake Ontario makes a perfect backdrop and counterpoint for the shocking murder that occurs early one morning at an historic site, just outside the village of Lighthouse Cove, NY, where slaves escaped to Canada during the abolition movement.

Edmund DeCleryk, former Navy SEAL and retired Lighthouse police chief turned criminal consultant, is hired by current police chief Carrie Ramos to investigate the murder, along with handsome detective, Brad Washington, but the investigation hits roadblock after roadblock, until a turn of events helps them solve the case. In the process, Annie, Ed’s wife, unveils yet another sinister plot.

Twists and turns will keep you guessing in this maritime-themed cozy mystery, the third in the Edmund DeCleryk series that includes recipes prepared by Annie, who loves to cook.
