Death on Beguiling Way (Secret Sleuth, Book 3)

No zen in sight as Sheila untangles a yoga instructor's murder.

Sheila Mackey's settling into life in Haines Tavern — her new Kentucky home. Sure, she has secrets to keep, but things are rolling along nicely.

Trips to the dog park with her rescue collie Gracie, meeting her friend Clara and Gracie's friend LuLu. Preparing for more work on her house by another dog park acquaintance, former police detective Teague O'Donnell. And regular, relaxing yoga classes at the Beguiling Way studio ... until Sheila and Clara encounter a new twist when someone murders their substitute instructor.

Law enforcement says the killer was a passing-through stranger now long gone.

Sheila and Clara have their doubts about that. Especially as they learn more and more about the instructor.

This whodunit with humor is the third book in USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's cozy mystery series, Secret Sleuth, which begins with a murder on a transatlantic cruise in Death on the Diversion. In Death on Torrid Ave. and later books, accidental investigator Sheila Mackey returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new Kentucky home.
