Dead to the World — Patti Larsen

Georgia hadn’t intended to poke her nose in where it wasn’t asked to be poked, keeping herself out of the murder investigation that has her friend and mayor, Harriet Quinn, and her son, Johnston Brown, both under scrutiny for murder. But when Johnston’s adoptive family comes to town and yet another homicide links them to the death of his biological father, Georgia has no choice but to look into both cases—and hopefully find out who killed the victims before either of her friends falls prey to the killer next!
