Money and Murder in Narrow Creek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662942426)

It's October in small-town Narrow Creek, North Carolina, and Dee Ann Bulluck is set for a fun morning of picking pumpkins when five-year-old Heather discovers a lady "taking a nap" in Elmer's Pumpkin Patch. The attractive, well-dressed woman in stiletto heels isn't asleep-she's dead-and amateur detective Dee Ann wonders about the identity of this stranger and who strangled her.

As usual, husband Joe advises her to stay out of police business. Chief McSwain doesn't want her meddling in his investigation either. But Dee Ann has a mind of her own and suspects to pursue. Who lured this woman to town and killed her? Was it a plotting boyfriend or a double-crossing drug dealer? Or maybe the body of the mystery woman was randomly dumped off the nearby interstate?

It's almost more than a working mama who's also trying to renovate an old Victorian home has time to investigate, especially when Dee Ann is asked to tail one of her suspects to an out-of-town location. Husband-wife feuds and wife-mistress confrontations offer clues, or do they?

Will Dee Ann discover the killer's identity ? Or will she become the next victim when she gets too close to the truth?

Set in 1984, this third cozy mystery in the Narrow Creek Series again features feisty, opinionated Dee Ann Bulluck along with many of the quirky Southern characters readers have come to know in Ms. Dee Ann Meets Murder and Life and Death in Narrow Creek.
