Why is She Dead? (Book 2 in The Editor Series) #CozyMystery #BetaReaders Needed




Y'all remember boo k 2 in The Editor Series (the series I've been writing for 8 years now?) Well, book 2 is read for beta readers, book 3 should be ready any day now (and book 1 is also still available if you'd like to read all of them) 

Here's the information for book 2

Book Synopsis: Why is She Dead?

After successfully exposing a powerful criminal empire in her new hometown of North Carolina, Gretchen, the Scottish expat-turned-author, is ready to dive into the next chapter of her life. Having navigated the treacherous waters of amateur sleuthing, she returns to what she hopes will be a quieter existence—writing the second book in her Editor Series and rebuilding her life on the picturesque Carolina coast.

But peace is fleeting. When a prominent local woman is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Gretchen’s instincts tell her that there’s more to the story than meets the eye. The police are quick to label it an accident, but Gretchen isn’t so sure—especially when she discovers that the woman was a key figure in a project that could reshape the town’s future.

As she delves deeper into the investigation, Gretchen uncovers a web of secrets, lies, and hidden agendas. The victim had enemies—more than a few—and each of them had a motive to want her out of the picture. With the stakes higher than ever, Gretchen must once again balance her roles as an author and a sleuth, all while protecting herself from those who would do anything to keep their secrets buried.

In Why is She Dead?, Gretchen’s determination to uncover the truth puts her in the crosshairs of a new and dangerous adversary. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that the past has a way of catching up with you—and that not everyone who seems harmless truly is.

Book Blurb: Why is She Dead?

Gretchen thought her days of playing detective were behind her. But when a prominent local woman is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the Scottish expat and fledgling author can’t resist diving into the mystery. What she uncovers is a tangled web of secrets, lies, and dangerous alliances—one that threatens not only her newfound peace but also her life.

As she balances writing the second book in her Editor Series with unraveling the truth behind the death, Gretchen realizes that the line between fiction and reality is thinner than she ever imagined. With new enemies closing in and old wounds reopening, she must rely on her instincts—and her trusty dog, Faith—to solve the case before it’s too late.

Why is She Dead? is a cozy mystery filled with suspense, intrigue, and a dash of danger, where the past refuses to stay buried and every clue leads to a new question. Will Gretchen solve the mystery, or will she become the next victim in this deadly game?
