Stacie Maroni’s pending divorce comes to a screeching halt when her soon-to-be-ex is murdered.
Stacie Maroni is an HR specialist and trauma counselor, but she’s never been a suspect in a murder or dealt with police officers. As she deals with threats and break-ins, and her in-laws continue to foster the idea that she’s responsible. Stacie goes through her husband’s effects and discovers she didn’t know him very well, other than his passion for technology, his love of dogs, and his stance against domestic violence. Stacie also discovers many possible motives for Ted’s murder. Soon it becomes clear someone is after her or something she must have. Unfortunately, neither she nor the police know why. Thankfully, she has good friends and her Maltese, Jasper, as she navigates her rocky new beginnings and tries to avoid being the next victim. A fun mystery with twists and turns, small town feel, and a quirky character or two. First in series.
