Mad Money Murder — Leslie Langtry

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes another madcap Merry Wrath mystery that will leave you laughing til it hurts!When Merry Wrath inherits an urn of cremains, she isn’t sure which is more surprising—that she was now the owner of a body or the fact that her family’s mythical Aunt June actually existed. Besides the urn and the deceased’s collection of lethal pets, from an assassin caterpillar to a deathstalker scorpion, the ex-CIA agent turned Scout Leader also inherits a mystery:“If you’ve received this, it means that I need you to find out who murdered me.”With her best friend and five mischievous little Girl Scouts, Merry takes a trip across the state to her aunt's tiny, rundown hometown of Behold, Iowa. Though, in hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best for the troop to stay at a famous scout camp that has a history of ghosts and aliens. Or to bring the precocious, ten-year old Betty who has started mastering some very sophisticated (and alarming) magic tricks.Was Aunt June murdered?Most in Behold think the death was an accident involving June's pet brown recluse spider, but Merry isn’t so sure. There are far more questions than answers about who Aunt June really was. Between a late-night dash for her life over a high ropes course, and dangerous interactions with deadly critters, Merry needs answers before a killer silences her questions…for good.Merry Wrath Mysteries:Merit Badge Murder – book #1Mint Cookie Murder – book #2Scout Camp Mystery – short story in the Killer Beach Reads collectionMarshmallow S'More Murder – book #3Movie Night Murder – book #4Mud Run Murder – book #5Fishing Badge Murder – short story in the Pushing Up Daisies collectionMotto for Murder – book #6Map Skills Murder – book #7Mean Girl Murder – book #8Marriage Vow Murder – book #9Mystery Night Murder – book #10Meerkats and Murder– book #11Make Believe Murder – book #12Maltese Vulture Murder – book #13Musket Ball Murder – book #14Macho Man Murder – book #15Mad Money Murder – book #16What critics are saying about Leslie Langtry's books:I laughed so hard I cried on multiple occasions!
