She's excited by a new job assignment working with the Mayor. But things quickly getdark as she finds murder and deceit lurk in the corridors of City Hall.
Public servants in City Hall aren't being very honest with the public. When a citizen reports an employee's attempt at extortion, all hell breaks loose. And then that worker is murdered.
Detective Halloran investigates with the perspective of his girlfriend, Amanda, an amateur sleuth. It's his job on the line but she is pulled in out of curiosity and to avoid the drama at home.
As they dig deeper, they find another layer of corruption that points to people in high places. The detective and the sleuth are faced with scheming civils servants, complacent bosses, a raft of suspects, murky motives and flimsy alibis.
Can they uncover the culprit with so many people and higher ups blocking their progress?
MURDER IN CITY HALL is the third book in the Massachusetts Cozy mystery series. If you like strong female characters, feel-good stories and plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing, then you'll love Andrea Kress's page-turning whodunnit.
