SomethingShady at Sunshine Haven, the first book in the Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, is on sale for 99 cents until 9/8!
War correspondent Kate Tessler has followed the most dangerous news stories around the world. But can she survive going home?
Injured in a bombing, Kate returns to her hometown in Arizona to recover. For the first time in her life, she’s starting to feel her age (49), even though she’s living like a teenager again: staying with her father, trying to understand why her sister resents her so much, and running into people who still think of her as Kitty.
Seeing her mother in an Alzheimer’s unit is the hardest part – until an old friend asks her to investigate suspicious deaths at that nursing home. Is a self-appointed “Angel of Mercy” killing patients to end their suffering? Are family members hastening their inheritance? Is an employee extorting money and removing the witnesses? Kate uses her journalism skills to track clues, but the puzzle pieces simply won’t fit.
If Kate can’t uncover the truth, her mother
could be next on the killer’s list.

Quick Peek:
My childhood
home had faded in the harsh Arizona sun and now showed its age—rather like me.
I’d never dreamed of living here again after thirty years of traveling the
world. But I needed to rest and heal, and where better to do that than in my
parents’ house? In a few weeks—I promised myself weeks, not months, and
definitely not years—I would be well enough to return to journalism. “How’s
Mom?” I asked.
“Good,” Dad
said. “Well, you know. She’s settled in. She can’t wait to see you.”
I didn’t ask
if she’d remember me. I hadn’t noticed signs of Alzheimer’s on my last visit,
but that had been a year ago.
“Hey, a
friend of yours runs the care home. She gave me a message for you. Said it was
urgent.” Dad shuffled through the mail on the little table by the door.
I couldn’t
think of any friends in Arizona. I hadn’t had any here since my childhood. My
friends were scattered around the world, wherever news was happening.
Dad handed me
an envelope. I propped my cane against the table so I had two hands to tear
open the envelope. The handwritten message inside was brief:
Kitty—Please come see me ASAP. I need
your help.
—Heather Garcia
“She sounded . . .” Dad hesitated. “She asked about
your journalism and begged me to bring you in as soon as possible.”
