Body Magnet

Reece Carson, nurse entrepreneur and amateur sleuth, never expected the extensive remodel of her parents’ clinic to reveal a hidden body, in this cozy mystery series. No, she expected to spend several blissful weeks playing auntie with her sister’s newborn, not solving a murder case. An hour after her nephew’s birth, a second corpse is discovered. Investigators find a rabbit’s foot, a four-leaf clover in a shirt pocket, a broken silver chair with a horse pendant, and no weapon. When a wallet reveals the identification of the male victim, Reece realizes the two employees, who fell in love and ran away together eighteen years ago, are the victims. Their family members accuse Reece’s parents of erasing the violent background of a former employee, putting their loved ones in grave danger. The Carson sisters are horrified, and move to clear their parents’ names. The DA has other ideas. He needs publicity to win the election and dubs the new investigation “the Lovebird murders.”
