March of Crimes

Everybody’s got to have a hobby. But some pastimes hide murder in a delightfully crafty rom-com mystery by Amazon Charts bestselling and Edgar Award–nominated author Jess Lourey. A charitable senior finds her calling making creepily authentic life-size dolls. Call it recreation. But when Mira finds a dead body encased under that painted porcelain, it’s more like murder. It gets even stranger when Mira’s investigation lands her just where the Battle Lake police chief wants her: in jail. Luckily, Team Mira is on the case. They’re a fierce, if unlikely, force to be reckoned with: one flashy lady mayor and Mira’s scrappy nonagenarian best friend. They plan to bust Mira out and clear her name. Bad news, though: a bizarrely motivated killer is still on the loose and can’t wait to see Mira all dolled up—to death. Revised edition: This edition of March of Crimes includes editorial revisions.
