Book Spotlight ~ " A Death in the Family" by Marlene Bateman + US giveaway!

Erica Coleman, a gifted and quirky private investigator with OCD is with her family in the picturesque town of Florence, Oregon, happily anticipating Grandma Blanche’s eighty-first

birthday celebration. But when the feisty matriarch, a savvy businesswoman, suspects wrongdoing and asks Erica to investigate her company, things get sticky. Before the investigation can begin, Blanche passes away. But her unexpected death leaves Erica with more questions than answers. It soon becomes clear Grandma’s passing was anything but natural: she was murdered.

When another relative becomes the next victim of someone with a taste for homicide, Erica uses her flair for cooking to butter up local law enforcement and gather clues. As she works to unravel the case, Erica’s OCD either helps or hinders her—depending on who you talk to—but it’s those same obsessive/compulsive traits than enable Erica to see clues that others miss. When she narrowly escapes becoming the third victim, Erica is more determined than ever to solve the case but wonders if she’s bitten off more than she can chew.

As a special bonus, ten of Erica’s favorite recipes are included!
