Murder in Emerald Hills (A Rachel Christie Mystery 2) (Rachel Christie Mystery Series)
Private detective Rachel Christie takes a simple case of possible land fraud and becomes involved in a six month old unsolved murder. Once again she finds that small towns frequently shelter large secrets. Secrets they don't want uncovered.
Rachel's in a hole. A real hole - a well. Thirty feet deep. Her assistant is nowhere to be found. Cell phone doesn't work. Radio doesn't work. Screaming doesn't work. She can't climb out because the well is too big and a pipe fell on her shoulder.
Who did it? Who sent her a bomb? Who filled her desk with black widow spiders? It began as a case of land fraud in Emerald Hills. The chief suspect couldn't possibly do it, says Rachel's friend Ron. Sheriff Hayley has carnal knowledge of Ron but likes Rachel so much she deputizes her.
There are too many pieces and they don't fit together. Who will Rachel believe as the bodies begin to stack up? Somebody's a murderer, a clever murderer.
A stand-alone murder mystery, this is number 2 in the Rachel Christie Mystery detective series.
