Cozy New Release on KU! KILLER ANNIVERSARY by PJ Peterson

Christie O’Mara watched as the artist added the last flourish to her store’s name on the front window to celebrate the first anniversary of her business, Christie’s Flower Shoppe. Despite a rough first year with newspaper headlines of “Killer Flowers” and a disastrous wedding reception, Christie O’Mara felt confident that her second year would be better. A prominent local couple has hired her to create elaborate decorations for their fiftieth wedding anniversary party that weekend. With an expansive guest list, Christie hoped the affair would trigger more commissions for her work.

Meanwhile, she and her friend Laura have started a garden design sideline. With Christie’s knowledge of flowers and shrubs, and Laura’s flair for design, it was a natural step to expand her business. A property line dispute was an unforeseen complication when a potential client invited Laura for a consultation.

But was that enough for murder?

P.J. PETERSON‘s first dream at the age of seven was to grow up to be a doctor and “help” people. After 37 years of practicing internal medicine, she published a mystery that had lain dormant on a floppy disc for almost 40 years. She discovered the thrill of pressing that “publish” button and found a whole new world.

Writing mysteries is her way of using her diagnostic skills in a different way–burying puzzles to solve inside a story with snippets of real life. And it keeps her out of trouble, more or less.

PJ’s passions, when she’s not writing, are health care and education. She donates time to the local free medical clinic and shares a portion of her royalties with St. Rose Catholic School and Seton High College Prep, both of which are close to her heart.

A hidden past. A deadly inheritance. A faith that must stand the test.

Dylan Roche has always lived a quiet life, far from the family his mother never spoke of. But when a lawyer shows up with a message from a wealthy grandmother he’s never met, Dylan is drawn into a world of privilege, secrets, and danger.

What begins as a chance to learn about his past quickly becomes something darker. Someone is watching. Following. And the more he searches for answers, the more perilous his position becomes.

To survive, Dylan must make an impossible choice: walk away and return to the life he knew—or claim the legacy his mother wanted for him, even if it puts his life on the line. Because someone is willing to kill to steal what should have been his all along.

BURIED SECRETS, the first suspense thriller novel in the Mirror Estate Thrillers series by S.F. Baumgartner. New expanded edition!
