Her Last Spoken Word

The young widow Rebecca Bowers lies in her mother’s arms. She has barely enough strength to whisper one word before dying. That word leads her mother to believe she was murdered. The authorities don’t agree. They rule her daughters’ death a fatal accident and consider the case closed.


The grieving mother turns to Homicide Detective Joe Matthews and Private Investigator Zoe Bird to prove she is right. When the two team up, there is always a bit of conflict.


Joe is a clean cut chic magnet with good manners and a stickler for the rule of law, always going by the book.


Zoe, on the other hand, is a somewhat irritating, independent middle aged gal who uses eccentric methods while seeking the truth, which may be why she often finds herself in dangerous situations.


Lighthearted humor threads through every chapter of this second in a series of Zoe Bird cozy Mysteries, along with suspense and a bit of country charm.
