Dead at First Sight — Christie Marquess

Needing a change in life, the last thing I wanted to do was solve a murder. When a lawyer approached me regarding inheriting a grand estate in a small town across the ocean, I didn't want to believe him. But then he said my mother's murder needed solving. What was he talking about? The only thing I knew about my mother's death was that it was an accident. In Provence, where everyone knew everyone, I found myself drawn to the intricacies of the daily lives of the townsfolk, a hidden, abandoned cottage and a stray cat. I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but the more I investigated my mother's murder, the more my life was at stake, until a motorcycle accident had me down on my knees begging for my life – just like my mother's last moments.
