Death & the Redheaded Woman
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Description
Next Up for Auction: Murder
When auctioneer Wren Morgan begins cataloging the contents of the Campbell mansion, she’s unprepared to find something that can’t be appraised—a dead man. After the body turns out to be a criminal with ties to a recent jewel heist, Wren comes face-to-face with Death Bogart. A private eye and part-time bounty hunter, Death is searching for the stolen jewels needed to convict a murderer.
Death finds a friend and willing ally in Wren, but they aren’t the only ones searching for treasure. Two ruthless men are also on the hunt, and they will do anything to eliminate the competition. To survive, Death and Wren must solve two mysteries spanning a century and a half and outwit a pair of cold-blooded killers.
Praise:
“Ross’ thoroughly entertaining debut combines smart details about the auction business with two engaging mysteries and a uniformly appealing cast. Fans of small-town cozies, especially those by Denise Swanson, will love this, as will mystery readers who double as thrift-store aficionados and followers of auction reality shows.”—BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW)
“[A] winning debut.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Fresh and enjoyable . . . a well-told story with appealing characters."—MYSTERY SCENE
“The witty sarcastic banter between the lead characters was charming and endearing.”—RT BOOK REVIEWS
"Ross' debut features a likable pair of sleuths, some local Missouri history and a nice little mystery."—KIRKUS REVIEWS

December 22, 2014
Ross’s winning debut, the first in a new cozy series, introduces auctioneer Wren Morgan, a redhead who has the misfortune to encounter a naked dead man at the bottom of the stairs leading to the cupola of the Campbell house, an antebellum Victorian mansion whose contents she is cataloguing. At the East Bledsoe Ferry, Mo., police station, where Wren goes to make a formal statement, she meets Death (pronounced “Deeth”) Bogart, a hunky bounty hunter and newly minted PI. Her remark that Death is one of the middle names of Dorothy Sayers’s fictional detective, Lord Peter Wimsey, immediately catches the attention of the incorrigible Death, who recognizes the dead man from a photo as an ex-con connected to a case he’s working on. Death is happy to join the fetching Wren for some sleuthing. Distinctive characters transcend the usual cozy archetypes, though prudish readers should be prepared for some mild sexual content. Agent: Janet Reid, FinePrint Literary Management.
