Murder by Mortgage — Karen Ranney

What would you do if your best friend was murdered? What would you do if no one believed it was murder?

Jennifer Roberts was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery despite the fact that Talbot, the cop who was her nemesis, thought it was all her imagination. Even her husband didn't buy into the murder angle. The only help she had was an eclectic group of amateur sleuths who played at murder.

Little did she know that the murderer wasn't quite finished. Another death marred her quiet neighborhood, proving that she was right after all.

Being right, however, didn't make her safe. In fact, it put Jennifer right in the middle of the bull's-eye.

More intense than a cozy mystery, not quite a romantic suspense, Murder by Mortgage is a thriller with a neighborhood bent. Not one international terrorist is to be found, but that's all right. The neighbors are strange.
