Dying for Dominoes (A Cardboard Cottage Mystery Book 1)
“Jane Elzey is a wickedly talented storyteller with a writing voice that entertains from the first page to the last. You will find that the killer isn’t always the butler, in the den, with a knife. Enjoy the ride!” — Woody Barlow, Author
“I reached a point where I didn’t want to stop. Jane Elzey excels in the story tension department.” — Cayce Berryman, Editor
“I’m on page seven and I love it. I feel wrapped in wisteria and I can smell the smoke and hear the clicks of the dominoes. I could teach allusion, assonance, alliteration, imagery, and characterization with just these seven pages! I’ve got to go read my new favorite author!” — Cindy Clark, ESOL Teacher
“Jane Elzey’s characters remind me of the saying, ‘A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will be in the cell with you!’ These gals are great friends. Jane Elzey spins a yarn full of twists and turns and I-never-saw-that-coming moments that make for a very fun read.” — Julia Simonello, Rabid Reader & Artist
“These characters are great fun. They are four friends I’d certainly want to hang out with.” — Texas Reviewer
Meet four ambitious women who risk losing it all when they play to win… while the husband dies trying.
It’s all fun and games until Amy’s best friend wants her husband gone and then he’s found dead.
Now Amy fears a not-so-innocent game of dominoes has turned into premeditated murder with a little help from some friends. Scrambled evidence and sketchy alibis compel Amy to uncover the truth before they all land in jail for murder.
How does a game of dominoes turn so deadly? And who killed the husband? If she can’t solve the crime in time, there’s more at stake than Amy realizes. She knows what she has to do — find the courage to face her doubts and learn the true meaning of friendship. All while hunting down a killer on the run.
Will she unravel the facts and the fibbery fast enough to keep them safe? Not if her misadventure through the back roads of Arkansas keeps derailing her plans. Amy risks everything to hunt down the truth, but what she doesn’t know might kill her, too.
If you like playing games, puzzle mysteries with unexpected twists and turns, and amateur sleuths with southern sass that’s anything but cookie-cutter sweet, then you’ll love Jane Elzey’s fast-paced whodunnit.
