Next Stop, Murder — Hadley K. Knox

★★★★★ A Fun Murder Mystery with an Appealing Cast of Characters! - Reader review___Former NYPD forensics expert Celia Strong thought she'd left the world of crime behind when she opened an ice cream shop in idyllic Blue Lake Village in the Adirondack Mountains... But when a wealthy banker is murdered on a summer tour bus, Celia and her daughter must team up with locals to help the inexperienced new sheriff solve the crime! Summertime in Blue Lake Village. Celia Strong, a former NYPD forensics expert, arrives with her teenage daughter Katie to start a new life as the owner of Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. As Celia settles in, she bonds with the other local business owners on 'the block'—eccentrics Helen and Henry from the antiques store, the unflappable Lorna at the history museum, and good-natured Cal at the country diner. But maybe Blue Lake isn't as peaceful as it seems. It's just a typical summer Friday when a tourist bus pulls up with seven passengers on board, and before long one of them ends up dead on the bus with a knife in his neck. The six remaining passengers each hide a secret. Is one of them the killer? With a new and inexperienced acting sheriff on duty, it's up to Celia—with the help of the rest of 'the block'—to solve the case. Order your copy and find out if Celia and her friends can catch the killer in the first book in a brand new series by author Hadley K. Knox, the Blue Lake Cozy Murder Mysteries!
