Sleuthing in Stilettos — Debra Sennefelder

Kelly Quinn, owner of a high-end consignment shop, is a booster for her Long Island town's small businesses -- but now a store owner's murder has brought big trouble . . .

Locals in Lucky Cove seem to harbor hostility toward Miranda Farrell, proprietor of a new shoe store. Nevertheless, Kelly invites her along to a Chamber of Commerce meeting. But soon afterward, Miranda's body is found in her shop, with Kelly's uncle -- who's had multiple public arguments with her -- standing nearby. Could her uncle really have committed murder over a business dispute? Or is Miranda's death related to her late husband's long-ago embezzlement case?
 
Kelly feels compelled to investigate, despite her detective boyfriend's objections -- not to mention her commitment to promoting Small Business Saturday. But her effort to pump up sales may fall flat. After her presentation to the committee is sabotaged, the Chamber gives her the boot -- and tongues start wagging. Now she has to do some fancy footwork to find the killer . . .
