November Hunt (Murder by Month Mystery)

$16.99

Hunting season exposes deadly secrets in a briskly chilling rom-com mystery from Amazon Charts bestselling and Edgar Award–nominated author Jess Lourey.

It’s cold enough to freeze a shadow when Battle Lake local Tom Kicker braves the killer temps to bag a deer―only to get shot to death by his best buddy, Clive, in a hunting accident. Tragic, yes. Accident? Mira James, just a few weeks into working toward her PI license, isn’t so convinced.

Neither is Tom’s daughter, who urges Mira to investigate. Why would a forty-year friendship come to a dead end on a frost-scorched landscape? Then Mira uncovers a decades-old scandal that suggests the town’s good old boys were up to some very bad business. Secret by buried secret, Mira is getting closer to solving the mystery.

In the meantime, she has sweet and sexy Johnny Leeson to keep her warm. Unfortunately, hunting season isn’t over in Battle Lake, and Mira is next in the crosshairs.

“A good story told well.” ―Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine

“Lourey’s seventh cozy featuring PI wannabe Mira James successfully combines humor, an intriguing mystery, and quirky small-town characters.” ―Publishers Weekly
