Stiff Competition
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A coroner must find a killer out to make a point in this hard-boiled mystery by the USA Today–bestselling author of Dead Even.
Every fall, hunting season in Sorenson, Wisconsin, leads to some accidental injuries. Deputy coroner Mattie Winston just hopes the hunters don't bring any more business to her office. But somebody seems to have declared open season on land developers. One real estate developer who's recently come to town has been found dead in the woods with an arrow through his neck. Now it's up to Mattie to get to the bottom of the killing. That might be easier if she wasn't also hunting for Detective Hurley's teenage daughter, Emily, who has suddenly disappeared. With a homicidal William Tell out on the loose, Mattie is desperate to find Emily before the killer notches another arrow . . .
"[Ryan] presents subtle but nonstop humor throughout her books."—Kings River Life Magazine
Praise for Annelise Ryan and her Mattie Winston series
"Ryan shows growing skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime."—Publishers Weekly
"The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . .while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans."—BooklistIf you are having problem transferring a title to your device, please fill out this support form or visit the library so we can help you to use our eBooks and eAudio Books.
