Deadly Burden (A Green Dory Inn Mystery #4)

By Janet Sketchley

Description:

Obey the police and stay safe, or follow her heart and help unmask a killer?

Landon Smith solved the last murder by accident—and nearly became the next victim. When a shocking death strikes her close-knit circle, can this amateur sleuth discover who wanted the town busybody dead?

The dead woman knew too much about too many people. Was she silenced to protect a secret? Or because of one she wouldn’t tell? And how can a dyslexic trauma survivor find clues the professionals miss?

Landon can’t afford to be sidetracked by a vindictive guest at the inn or by unexpected family drama. Or by falling for the geeky writer next door—now that he’s over her. With a storm closing in and no leads in sight, Landon’s first Christmas at the Green Dory Inn is shaping up to be anything but merry and bright.

Mystery/suspense meets Christian women’s fiction with a chance of Christmas romance in Deadly Burden, book four in the Green Dory Inn Mystery series. If you like characters who don't quit, faith-filled fiction, and small-town mysteries, then you’ll love Janet Sketchley’s engaging novel.

Book Takeaway:

Let's not self-disqualify. Let's be open to the good gifts God may want to give us in whatever form they may take.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to explore a Christmastime-set mystery with my imaginary friends at the Green Dory Inn and to nudge two of the characters into the possibility of romance.
