A Dead Mother (Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery Series)

Jessica Huntington is back in the 4th Desert Cities Mystery by USA Today bestselling author, Anna Celeste Burke. Jessica's ex-husband, Jim Harper, and her mother, Alexis, are in big trouble in A Dead Mother. Family dysfunction, infidelity, murder, and mayhem are afoot-what else would you expect from members of the rich and famous who move in Jessica Huntington's circles? An arraignment in court goes off the rails as Jim Harper faces charges from a brawl in his Bel Air mansion that leaves a man fighting for his life. Jessica's love life almost veers off track, too, as she struggles to balance job, family, sleuthing, and her attraction to Attorney Paul Worthington and Detective Frank Fontana. When the body of a prominent member of the Coachella Valley community is found dead on the side of the road, Jessica gives up hope that this year will be better than the last. It's a three-ring-circus of calamities as Jessica, and her friends get pulled into another murder mystery. There are plenty of well-heeled heels to choose from among the suspects with all the usual motives: love, lust, lucre, and loathing. Whodunit? Grab your copy and find out!
