P.J. Benson Mystery

Sheriff's Detective Wade Kingsley's boat explodes on Lake Michigan. He and his son survive while his ex-wife and her new husband die. P.J. Benson knows Wade wouldn't blow up his own boat to kill his ex-wife and her new husband no matter how much Wade didn't want his ex to take their son to California; nevertheless, the investigating detectives consider him their prime suspect. Although Wade doesn't want P.J. involved, she knows she must prove his innocence; after all, she's just discovered she's carrying his child. Morning sickness, angry in-laws, a disturbed mother, and a burial site that seems haunted all complicate P.J.'s search for the truth.

P.J. Benson is at it again. She has clients' taxes to finish and her baby is due in two weeks. This definitely is not the right time to get involved in solving a murder. But it seems she has no choice, and now her own life and the life of her unborn child are in danger.Prior to her scheduled Mothers-to-Be meeting, P.J. Benson enters a church bathroom and overhears Brenda Cox, a friend and former co-worker, tell someone on the phone that she was caught getting the information they wanted and barely got away. P.J. tells Brenda to call 9-1-1, but Brenda says she'll be fine and will see P.J. soon. When P.J. and the other women attending the Mothers-to-Be session hear police cars and an ambulance out front, they know it's a serious accident, but it isn't until the next day that P.J. discovers the victim was Brenda. The police consider the hit-and-run an accident. P.J. is certain Brenda was murdered. P.J.'s husband, Sheriff's Deputy Wade Kingsley, warns her not to get involved, and P.J. knows he's right, but someone seems intent on involving her. Over the next few days, friends and family help and complicate P.J.'s life as she tries to understand what Brenda took and why she was killed. Curiosity, however, can put a person's life in danger. Not a good thing when SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT is ready to arrive on the scene.
