Murder as a Party Crasher: A Cozy Mystery Book
by Cynthia Raye
North Pointe is the kind of town where privilege thrives and everyone gets to have a piece of the American Dream. The town is also known for the North Pointe Academy, a world-class private school where children are all but guaranteed to be admitted into the Ivy League school of their choice. Dr Grace Philips and her family fit perfectly in this setting, since if all goes as planned, she will be promoted to her dream-job and her daughter Hazel will graduate at the top of her class. The Philips seem to have everything they ever wished for, but life always comes crashing down when you least expect it. And this is exactly what happens during a night that none of them will ever forget...
On this horrible night, Grace receives a chilling phone call. Someone has been found dead in her own home. To add to the shock, it appears that this happened during a party her daughter threw without permission that got out of control. The party quickly turns into a crime scene, and it is clear that it is a murder case with Hazel’s former best friend as the victim. The police immediately fixate on Hazel, having already jumped to the obvious conclusion that she’s the killer. Things take a turn for the worse when damning evidence seems to truly incriminate her. With the serious accusations threatening her daughter’s bright future, how could Grace resist from taking matters into her own hands?
That’s when she suddenly finds herself on the other side of the social spectrum and sees the dark side of North Pointe. What follows is a desperate chase to find the true murderer while trying to protect her daughter from the scathing indictments of their community. Her investigation will take her from Hazel’s classmates to powerful residents who seem to have the police on their payroll, while shocking secrets are revealed everywhere she looks. Will Grace manage to expose the truth before it’s too late? Or will Hazel’s bright future end before it even had a chance to begin?
