Happy Friday! Hope you get some reading in this weekend! Coming on January 17th to bookstores and e-readers near you, Scheduled to Death by Mary Feliz is book two in the Maggie McDonald Mystery series.









Paperback: 236 pages
Publisher: Lyrical Underground (January 17, 2017)

About the book:

Professional organizer Maggie McDonald has a knack for cleaning up other people’s messes. So when the fiancée of her latest client turns up dead, it’s up to her to sort through the untidy list of suspects and identify the real killer.

Maggie McDonald is hoping to raise the profile of her new Orchard View organizing business via her first high-profile client. Professor Lincoln Sinclair may be up for a Nobel Prize, but he’s hopeless when it comes to organizing anything other than his thoughts. For an academic, he’s also amassed more than his share of enemies. When Sinclair’s fiancée is found dead on the floor of his home laboratory—electrocuted in a puddle of water—Maggie takes on the added task of finding the woman’s murderer. To do so, she’ll have to outmaneuver the suspicious, obnoxious police investigator she’s nicknamed “Detective Awful” before a shadowy figure can check off the first item on their personal to-do list—Kill Maggie McDonald.



About the author:


Scheduled to Death will be released in January, 2017. Dead Storage will follow in July, 2017 Additional titles are planned.



Maggie McDonald is a smart woman with leadership skills. Her super power is organizing the lives, closets, and kitchens of others. But like the proverbial shoemaker's children, getting her own life under control is a different story, especially when she stumbles on a dead body. A newcomer, she's determined to adapt to life in her adopted hometown, but she can't do that unless she's sure her family will be safe. And how can they be safe with a murderer running free? Accompanied by her golden retriever Belle, and using every skill in her repertoire, she organizes the clues to a puzzle only she can solve.

The book takes place in a fictionalized compilation of Silicon Valley locales. It is a 'cozy' mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie. Cozies are a subgenre of traditional mysteries once described as tales in which "someone dies but no one gets hurt."

Synopsis

In a charming cozy mystery series debut, Leslie Nagel’s irrepressible small-town heroine finds that her fellow mystery book club members may be taking their Agatha Christie a bit too literally—and murder a bit too lightly.

Charley Carpenter has poured heart and soul into her clothing store, Old Hat Vintage Fashions. She’ll do anything to make it a success—even join the stuffy Agathas Book Club in order to cultivate customers among the wealthy elite of Oakwood, Ohio.

Although mixing with the most influential women in town has its advantages, Charley finds the endless gossip a high price to pay. But after two women with close ties to the Agathas are brutally murdered, everyone falls under threat—and suspicion. When key evidence indicates that both murders are the work of the same hand, Charley realizes that the killer has arranged each corpse in perfect imitation of crime scenes from the Club’s murder mystery reading list. She uses her membership in the Club to convince Detective Marcus Trenault to use her as an inside informant. Not that he could stop her anyway.

Intelligent, fearless, and every bit as stubborn as Marc is, Charley soon learns the Agathas aren’t the only ones with secrets to protect. Passions explode as she and Marc must race against time to prevent another murder. And if Charley’s not careful, she may find herself becoming the killer’s next plot twist. 






Leslie Nagel's debut The Book Club murders introduces you to fun new characters and a story line that is filled with plot twists. You will be on the edge of your seat wanting to know what will happen next. I enjoyed this book and look froward to the next one.
