Deadly Burden — Janet Sketchley

WINNER IN THE 2024 WORD AWARDS (CATEGORY: MYSTERY) Obey the police and stay safe, or follow her heart and help unmask a killer? Landon Smith solved the last murder by accident-and nearly became the next victim. When a shocking death strikes her close-knit circle, can this amateur sleuth discover who wanted the town busybody dead? The dead woman knew too much about too many people. Was she silenced to protect a secret? Or because of one she wouldn't tell? And how can a dyslexic trauma survivor find clues the professionals miss? Landon can't afford to be sidetracked by a vindictive guest at the inn or by unexpected family drama. Or by falling for the geeky writer next door-now that he's over her. With a storm closing in and no leads in sight, Landon's first Christmas at the Green Dory Inn is shaping up to be anything but merry and bright.
