The Next Deadly Chapter

Mystery writer Samantha Washington is excited to speak at the local senior center until heckler Oscar Pembrook attacks everything she says. Sam’s grandmother Nana Jo and Kai Strongbow, a member of the tribal council, handle Oscar. Feeling badly over the incident, Kai offers Sam rooms at the Four Feathers Casino and Resort. Nana Jo and her friends from Shady Acres Retirement Village decide it’s the perfect place for Sam’s engagement party. Sam only wants to impress her future mother-in-law, Dr. Camilia Patterson, and offers her own VIP suite to her. She doesn’t expect a call from Camilia the next morning saying there’s a dead man—Oscar—in her suite. When Sam and Nana Jo’s group swings into action investigating the death, they learn Oscar was as obnoxious as his heckling made him appear. It’s a perfect parallel storyline to Sam’s historical mystery set in 1939 England when Wickfield Lodge is the scene of an engagement party and a murder. Lady Elizabeth Marsh’s investigation provides Sam with just enough clues for the current case.
