The Murder at Red Oaks - Paperback

by Kay Pritchett (Author)

What a chilling sight when real estate agent Mosey Frye enters her client's grand Victorian only to find her strangled and laid out in a coffin. Clued in on the bizarre murder, the new forensic profiler in town raises the intriguing theory of "posing," suggesting the culprit, plagued by remorse, decided to honor the victim with a grand send-off. Meanwhile, police chief Gus Olivera, sticking to the evidence, makes a breakthrough by identifying the coffin as one that is missing from the mausoleum. It originally belonged to the victim's young ward, tragically drowned in the lake by the house years earlier. With real and amateur sleuths baffled, townspeople fear yet another attack from the deranged killer among them.
